Nebraska won the 2011 Big Ten regular-season title in the school's first year in the conference. But the Cornhuskers started to fade at the time when they most wanted to peak. As a result, they were shocked on their home court in the NCAA's second round by Kansas State, a team that Nebraska had mostly owned during its decades of Big Eight/Big 12 play.

 

They take their volleyball seriously in Lincoln, Neb., so that loss, combined with a Sweet 16 defeat the season before, almost constitutes a drought for the Huskers.
