Monday Flakes: Superbowl Drama and Nebrasketball Gets a Win

It was a fun weekend (mostly) to watch sports. The Superbowl was a great game, and Nebrasketball got an overtime win vs Wiscsonsin. The Husker women stumbled against a ranked Michigan team – they played well, but couldn’t get the points they needed at the end. To top off the weekend, the Jackrabbit men and women both defeated the USD Coyotes. Sweet!
