Nebraska players make unusual plea to fans after beating Michigan State to extend historic run

The win marked the team's 18th straight victory dating back to last season, which is the longest streak in the nation.

While the players are thankful for the support, they made a plea for fans to stop storming the court.

 "If you're the No. 13 against the No. 9 and you're at home, in my opinion, you're supposed to win that game," Nebraska forward Rienk Mast said. "I don't blame the fans. They got excited for that win. From here on out, we've proven we belong in these games and we're supposed to win these types of games."

"Every single game we have to prove it, that this isn't a fluke and that we're on a hot streak and we can go cold," he said. "We've got to stay poised and keep proving people wrong."

Guard ​​Jamarques Lawrence echoed that sentiment. 

"We're supposed to win that game, guys," he said. "No more court storms, please. I just got to say that."

 "I absolutely loved it, absolutely loved it," he said after the game. "That doesn't happen much at our place. And it shouldn't. But it should happen here. This is kind of a new experience. That's the beauty of what you do as you build a program."

"They were lining up back there, I was thinking to myself 'go for it.' I thought it was great."
