Nebraska vs Minnesota Photos: An Emotional Night In “The Barn”

It was an excellent game with the exception that our beloved Huskers lost.

Minnesota player Dupree McBrayer lost his mother Tayra McFarlane to cancer Monday night in New York. At last night’s game, Gophers players wore black patches with “TM” and Nebraska came out in warmups with “RIP Tayra” on the front. In the postgame presser, Gopher coach Rick Pitino talked about how McBrayer’s mother had worked at Rikers Island for 20 years and retired before the season started so she could watch her son play his senior year.

Now she’s gone just as the 2018 season is getting started. Life is unbelievably cruel sometimes.

That McBrayer lost his mother on Monday and played a basketball game on Wednesday says something about how much his Gopher team means to him. He hit a key three pointer in the second half to bring Minnesota within three. The Gopher crowd erupted.
