The regional, which will be hosted by second-seeded Utah, will take place at the Huntsman Center on Saturday, April 7 at 7 p.m. (CST).
Nebraska, who finished the regular season at 19-2 and captured the Big Ten Championship last weekend, will face No. 8 Utah, No. 16 Minnesota, No. 17 Missouri, Arizona State and San Jose State. The competition also features five all-around competitors and one individual specialist per event.
