Their key victories include a historic 81-58 win against then-No. 1 Purdue at Mackey Arena, marking one of the most significant losses ever inflicted on an AP No. 1 team at home, alongside several quality wins over other major opponents that affirm the Cyclones as legitimate contenders for both the Big 12 and national titles.

Key victories feature neutral-site wins against Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Kansas State, complemented by substantial Big Ten victories over Wisconsin and a road win against No. 13 Illinois, demonstrating the Huskers’ physicality, adept movement, and rebounding superiority, which place them in rare contention for a Final Four appearance.
