A look at the mid-week matchups between the Huskers (5-8) and Shockers (6-9) today and tomorrow:

Is Nebraska the worst basketball program in the history of division 1 basketball. I can't wrap my head around the fact UNO might win a game in the NCAA tournament before Nebraska.

Maybe Nebraska needs another new stadium and practice facility to match the facilities a team like UNO has.

So disappointing to be Iowa's little brother in football and basketball. This sucks.

A quick reminder: HCMR will have a media availability tomorrow morning. Just got word back that the presser will begin at 10 a.m. It'll be Rhule and, after a short break, 2-3 selected players made available to the media.

We'll have the usual post-presser coverage in the threads, on the site + some stuff on our YT channel.

Being reported that Nebraska continues to be in the mix for 2025 Bassano del Grappa (Italy) Orange1 Basket forward Maikcol Perez, should he officially commit to playing college basketball.

The 6-foot-8, 215-pound Perez, who's from Rome, visited Nebraska last fall and attended a football game here. Along with Nebraska, Miami and Cincinnati are interested. In the 2024 FIBA U17 World Cup, Perez averaged 14.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists while shooting 58% from the field.

It's been tough to consistently stay in contact with Perez. His agent and group appear to be handling his recruitment. I'll keep trying.

Is anybody planning to attend this? I'm currently living in Philadelphia and always wanted to go to NCAAs so I'm planning to attend.
Does the University get any allotment of tickets? Or is there going to be a designated section for Nebraska fans?

Huskers.com

Evanston, Ill. - With 16 bonus-point wins and four Huskers set for the finals, the Nebraska wrestling team closed its day one showing at the 2025 Big Ten Wrestling Championships as second in team standings.

Caleb Smith (125), Brock Hardy (141), Ridge Lovett (149) and Lenny Pinto (174) will compete for Big Ten titles on Sunday, with championship bouts starting at 4:35 p.m. (CT) on BTN.

The Big Red trail Penn State, who has six finalists. Behind the Huskers, Minnesota and Iowa each have three finalists. Nine from Nebraska will continue to wrestle into day two, as the Big Red seek NCAA bids.

The championship opened with nine Huskers in the first round, Van Dee taking the mat first at 133 as the six seed. The sophomore used four takedowns for a 12-4 major decision, his fifth of the season, over Dustin Norris (PUR) to move into quarterfinals.

At 141, three seed Brock Hardy allowed one point from Jaden Crumpler on his way to a 17-1 tech. fall in 4:58. The victory was Hardy’s 20th of his junior season and 80th career. Lovett followed suit, another three seed to dismantle Royce Nilo. The reigning Big Ten Champ put up 19 points in 2:21 to move on to the quarterfinals.

Making it three-consecutive Husker tech. falls, three seed Antrell Taylor (157) used a 17-2 dominant first period to claim his 20th win of the season, and secure his spot in the quarters. Minto was up next at 165, meeting Jay Nivision (MSU) for a tight bout. The two-time freshman of the week honoree defeated the Spartan with a 5-3 decision.

At 174, Lenny Pinto grabbed his 20th season and 65th career win, taking down Aiden Vandenbush (NU) with a 21-6 (4:53) tech. fall, his 12th of the year. Allred took on Badger Dylan Russo at 184, and the Husker made quick work of the bout, claiming a 2:46 fall. True freshman Camden McDanel was up next, the seven seed at 197. No. 20 McDanel notched a 4:01 pin over No. 26 Remy Cotton, to move on to quarterfinals. Andrews had a steep matchup at heavyweight, taking on Yaraslau Slavikouski (RUT), ranked No. 7 by InterMat. The Husker battled, but fell by a 6-4 decision.

Nine Huskers headed into the quarterfinals on Saturday morning, beginning with Caleb Smith after his first round bye as the two seed. The senior tallied his second tech. fall of the season, 17-2 over Dedrick Navarro (NU) in 6:05, pushing Smith to the semis. No. 15 Van Dee faced No. 4 Braxton Brown (MD) in his quarterfinal bout, but fell 2-0.

Hardy met Joseph Olivieri (RUT) on the mat, and the Husker came out on top with an 11-1 major decision. Lovett also claimed a major decision in his quarterfinal, defeating Andrew Clark (RUT) 13-2. No. 4 Taylor was next to secure his spot in the semifinals, taking a 4-3 decision over No. 7 Joey Blaze (PUR).

No. 8 Minto faced No. 14 Braeden Scoles (ILL) at 165, and despite a late 1-1 tie, the Illini closed, defeating the Husker 4-3. Pinto punched his spot in the semis with a 6:33 fall over Michigan’s Joseph Walker, his 10th career pin.

No. 7 Allred battled No. 12 Edmond Ruth (ILL) in a 184 quarter final bout, but fell by 4-3 decision. No. 20 McDanel took on No. 2 Josh Barr at 197, and fell to the three-time Big Ten Freshman of the Week in a 17-2 (4:05) tech. fall. Andrews closed out the first session for the Big Red, coming back from a 2-9 deficit to pin Gannon Rosenfeld (WIS).

Session II began with consolation bouts for Van Dee (133), Minto (165), Allred (184), McDanel (197) and Andrews (HWT). Van Dee started with a 20-4 tech. fall over Odiotti (NU), his second bonus point win of the day, and 10th of the season. Up against Nic Bouzakis, Van Dee was forced to forfeit for injury default, as well as medical forfeit for loss in the seventh-place match. Despite the finish, the sophomore still closed his second Big Ten Championships on the podium.

Minto notched his second win of the day with a 14-9 decision over Goebel (WIS), before falling to No. 18 Mayfield (NU) 8-1. Allred tallied two more victories for Saturday, with a 1:50 fall over Daly (MSU), and a forfeit from Cartagena-Walsh (RUT). McDanel bounced back, using a 16-8 major decision over Sollars (IND) and a 5-2 decision against Bates (NU). No. 23 Andrews met No. 10 Luffman (ILL) and lost by fall (6:04); the Husker will continue wrestling on Sunday in the 11th-place bracket.

No. 7 Smith kicked off the semifinal action for Nebraska, facing No. 11 Peterson (RUT). The pair were tied 1-1 after regulation, and headed into SV-1 for a spot in the 125 final. The wrestlers battled, but Smith struck and scored, winning 3-1.

At 141, No. 6 Hardy took on a loaded matchup against reigning NCAA Champ No. 2 Jesse Mendez (OSU). The pair went back and forth during regulation, at 8-8 in full time, but the Husker’s ridetime point secured the upset victory. The junior claimed his first win over the Buckeye and a spot in the finals.

No. 4 Lovett was the next semifinal, facing Hawkeye foe No. 3 Parco, who led the head-to-head 3-0. The Husker came out firing, notching 10 points in the first period. The reigning Big Ten Champ closed the deal, defeating Parco with a 14-2 major decision to return to the final.

The 157 semifinal match showcased No. 1 Tyler Kasak (PSU) and No. 4 Taylor. The Husker fought, but the Nittany Lion dominated the mat, defeating Taylor with a 1:18 fall.

Pinto was the last Big Red semifinalist, taking on Braunagel (ILL). It was a tight battle between the three and seven seeds, as Pinto trailed 6-8 with less than a minute left in the bout. In a thriller last jab, Pinto notched a takedown, reviewed and challenged by both sides. The Husker came out on top, moving on to the final with a 9-8 decision.

Nebraska concluded the day with four Huskers headed to the finals, and in second among team standings, with 118.5 points.

Lovett and Hardy B1G Champs, Huskers Take Second
Huskers.com

Evanston, Ill. - Ridge Lovett (149) and Brock Hardy (141) claimed Big Ten Championships on Sunday evening, highlighting the Nebraska wrestling campaign for its second-place team finish. The Huskers wrapped the two-day tournament with 137 points, the most ever recorded by Nebraska in a conference tournament.

Lovett secured his second-straight title, the first Husker to do so since Robert Kokesh in 2014 and 2015. Lovett and Hardy’s wins made the duo the first in 11 years to bring home multiple champions for the Big Red (2014 - James Green and Kokesh).

The runner-up Big Ten finish for the team is the highest since finishing second in 2020.

Four Huskers placed above their designated pre-seeds, No. 7 Camden McDanel in fifth, No. 3 Lenny Pinto in second and No. 3 seeds Hardy and Lovett taking home titles. Nine represented Nebraska on their respective podiums, and punched their tickets for the 2025 NCAA Championships in Philadelphia, Pa., with automatic qualifications.

No. 7 Caleb Smith opened the championship bouts in Evanston, facing No. 8 Luke Lilledahl (PSU) in the final at 125. The Nittany Lion struck first, putting three on the board with a takedown in the first period. Smith used an escape to notch a point, and earned two more from PSU penalties, but with an extra escape from Lilledahl, the Husker fell after 7:00. Smith took two ranked wins en-route to his runner-up finish and will continue his postseason campaign in Philadelphia.

In the 141 final, No. 6 Hardy took on No. 8 Vance Vombaur (MINN). Hardy did not take long to strike with a takedown, but followed through to pin the Gopher in 1:59. The championship fall was the Husker’s fifth of the season, and his 50th career bonus-point win. Hardy leaves Evanston a Big Ten Champion, and an automatic qualifier for the NCAA Championships.

Going for back-to-back Big Ten titles, Lovett met Kannon Webster (ILL) on the mat at 149. The pair tussled, but in the end an escape from the Husker made the decision after regulation. Lovett won by 1-0 decision, becoming the first Husker since Kokesh in 2015 to claim consecutive Big Ten titles. The senior’s victory in the final also made it the first time in 11 years that the Big Red had two champions.

In the third place match at 157, Antrell Taylor faced No. 7 Joey Blaze for the third time this season. It was a tight bout, as the pair forced overtime twice, but Blaze came out on top, defeating the Husker 3-2. Taylor finished fourth, claiming an automatic qualification for NCAAs.

At 174, Lenny Pinto took on No. 2 Levi Haines (PSU) in the championship bout. Haines scored early, and went into the third period with an 11-1 lead. No. 8 Pinto battled, but was not able to stop the No. 2, falling 12-1. The junior finished second, set to head to his third NCAA Championships later this March.

In the 184 fifth-place match, No. 7 Silas Allred battled No. 8 Gabe Arnold (IOWA). The Hawkeye got on the board first, to lead 4-0 as the pair went into the third period. Allred fought back, but Arnold stuck it out to win 4-3. The Husker ended his Big Ten campaign in sixth, and punched a ticket for Philadelphia.

To start day two, the Big Red had five wrestlers in session III, vying for higher possible spots on the podium. Heavyweight Harley Andrews was first on the mat in the 11th-place bracket. The Husker took on Filipovich (PUR) for the second time this season, and fell to the Boilermaker, this time in a 16-3 major decision. Andrews went on to wrestle Rosenfeld (WIS) and was defeated 10-3. The sophomore did not place at the Big Ten Championships, but could still make the trip to Philadelphia if he secures an at-large bid.

Taylor at 157 kicked off consolation semifinal action for Nebraska, up against the No. 1 seed Ethen Miller. The pair put up an even seven minutes, taking the bout to SV-1 tied 1-1. Taylor attacked the Scarlet Knight and used a dominant fall in 7:46, his fifth pin of the season, to secure the win and his spot in the third-place match.

At 184, Allred faced Smith (MD) in the consolation semifinal. The No. 11 Terrapin came out on top, defeating No. 7 Allred with a 4-2 decision. Freshman No. 20 McDanel met No. 18 Braunagel (ILL) at 197, but fell in another low-scoring, tight bout, as the Illini won by 2-1 decision. McDanel was slated to wrestle No. 2 Josh Barr (PSU) again in the 5th-place match, but the Nittany Lion lost via MFFL. The freshman Husker notched the 5th-place finish, and a ticket to the NCAA Tournament.

At 165, Christopher Minto medically forfeited his seventh-place match. The redshirt freshman finished in eighth, with an automatic qualification for the NCAA Tournament. Jacob Van Dee also used a medical forfeit in his seventh-place match, after an injury in his last bout.

Thought ours broke a long time ago, but found it behind some stuff in a cabinet that I hadn't looked through in years. After cooking a burger on it I remember why I liked it so much, cooks it quick and even, tasted great.

I know it's not a favorite for everyone, but it is a nice little gadget to have. Thanks Big George!

What a late-season collapse that was.

Three quick thoughts on the loss:



"It's a crusher. It kills me to know that we're not going to be able to go to Indy and extend this thing," Nebraska head coach Fred Hoiberg said after the loss. "...That being said, I think we will play in the postseason. We got to regroup. We get to continue on with our journey, and that's important."

More thoughts from the loss and more from Hoiberg:

Starting up the live game thread.

Quite the do-or-die situation that will be played out in a sold-out Pinnacle Bank Arena between Nebraska and Iowa.

Winner heads to the Big Ten Tournament in Indy and has at least a shot at getting to the Big Dance. Loser won't get to compete in the conference tournament.

Tipoff is slated for 11:30 a.m. Senior Day ceremonies will begin at 11:05 a.m.

Today's game will be on FOX with Kevin Kugler and Nick Bahe on the call.

Where does Steve Taylor rank amongst all time great Husker QB's?

Next Nebraska Game - Friday, March 14
Nebraska at Ohio State (5:00 PM - BTN)

This will get locked in the end I have not doubt. No parties no sides. Just talk about how stupid people are in states like Minny that have this to defend their side.

All of the local sports programming is gonzo. I listened to both the morning and afternoon shows and they’ve gone to national programming and it’s AWFUL. it’s an instant channel change now. I thought at first that they were taking a break for Sharpie’s funeral etc but they never came back on.
