Nebraska's NCAA Tournament run ended at four in 1994–95, but the Huskers kept their postseason streak alive with an NIT berth, advancing to the second round. The 1995–96 team struggled down the stretch but was back in the NIT and capped its season with a run to the tournament title. The Huskers won two games on the road and scored more than 80 points in four of their five postseason games, finishing with a 60–56 victory over St. Joseph's. "The NIT run was incredible when you look at the teams we beat and how we beat them," Nee said after the remarkable run. "I don’t care what anybody says, it was domination."
