HOUSTON, Tex. - No matter the sport, Husker Fans travel well. 

If last weekends Round of 32 and Round of 64 are any indication, Downton Houston will be very red for the rest of the week. But as Husker fans journey south, there’s a question many of their minds - will Houston’s bars have Busch Light. 

Kye Blackwell, Manager of Biggio’s Bar and Grill, locate just blocks from the Toyota Center, says they’ll be ready. 

“Guess what Nebraska, we will have Busch Light ready for you Thursday,” Blackwell said. “My beer rep put a bug in my ear yesterday and told me to put a keg on tap, he said this is all they drink and they’re actually putting it in all around Houston to make you guys feel at home.”

In OKC, Nebraska’s fans pushed the Busch Light limits and this week, Nebraska plays Iowa - a state that also enjoys a cold refreshing Busch. Blackwell says more beer could be on the way. 

“I might need to order a few more kegs, i don’t know if I’m prepared,” Blackwell joked. 

Nebraska and Iowa tip-off at 6:30 CT on Thursday
