Nebraska’s seven-game losing streak finally came to an end on Wednesday night, and there wasn’t anyone more excited about getting back in the win column than head coach Tim Miles.
The Huskers posted a 62-61 win over Minnesota on Wednesday in Lincoln, getting their first win in a month. James Palmer made a pair of free throws in the final second of the game to lift Nebraska to victory.
After the game, Miles was interviewed by Big Ten Network about the win. He couldn’t contain his excitement:
Miles isn't just ecstatic. He's almost delirious, beyond jovial self after wins. You can tell the weight lifted by a win. And watch JPJ take a swig before trickling water on top of Timmy.#Huskers #Nebrasketball pic.twitter.com/3h5ON2S3ud
