This is the first time since Jan. 5 that Nebraska is ranked outside the top 10.
The fall comes after a 57-52 loss to unranked Iowa on the road, and an 87-64 win over Penn State at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
Nebraska now looks down the final stretch of the season, matching up with Maryland on Wednesday at PBA.
Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. on the Big Ten Network.
