Here were the results from the Nebraska or Iowa survey sent out to BT upper school: The biggest surprise of this matchup is that Iowa made it to the Sweet 16. It was a close vote whether students predicted only Nebraska being making it this far or if students had neither team playing this Thursday. However, Nebraska is undeniably favored to win and progress to Elite 8… and that we grow better corn! Students report that Herbie the Husker is the better mascot and he will cheer us on to victory.
