Nebraska senior guard Brice Williams became the first Husker men’s basketball player since 2018 to earn first-team all-conference honors as the Big Ten Conference announced its All-Big Ten teams on Tuesday.

Williams, a 6-foot-7 guard from Huntersville, N.C., earned first-team All-Big Ten honors from the coaches and the media, as he averaged a league-high 20.7 points per game along with 4.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game in Big Ten play. The senior became the first Husker since 2014 to lead the conference in scoring in conference play and just the sixth Husker in more than a century to lead a conference in scoring in conference play.

Williams not only led NU in scoring but ranked among the conference leaders in free throw percentage (.875, sixth), minutes played (36.3, fifth and free throws made (4.9, third) and attempted (5.6, sixth) per game. Williams led Nebraska in assists and 3-pointers (38) and was second in steals (22) and rebounds (88) in conference games. He had a conference-leading 12 games with 20-or-more points, highlighted by a school-record 43-point effort at Ohio State on March 4.

Prior to this season, James Palmer Jr. was NU’s most recent first-team All-Big Ten selection, as he honored in 2018. Williams, Braden Smith (Purdue), Trey Kaufman-Renn (Purdue) and John Tonje (Wisconsin were first-team picks by both the conference coaches and media, while the other first-team spot was split between Maryland’s Derik Queen (coaches) and Michigan’s Vladislav Goldin (media).

Rollie Worster was the other Husker honored Tuesday, as he was Nebraska’s Sportsmanship Award nominee for his efforts on and off the court. Worster has appeared in 31 games, including 25 starts, and averaged 7.0 points, and 2.6 assists per game. He was second on the team in assists and had a 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

"And so as we think about really less 3-3-5 – we were kind of a hybrid last year of we could be 3-4, we could be 3-3-5 or we could go to four-down and rush – I think McCullough gives you someone who can play in all three of these packages, right?" the head coach said.
A 3-4 look with MaGahee, Trent, V9 and McCullough at LB would not displease me.

Dear Coach - Why are you the way you are???

Yes I know he wants to go to Kentucky but throw the bag at him.

GBR!

Mike McNeil

Jordan Westerkamp are three of mine

They announced what was planned. Interesting.


Volleyball, soccer and an NFL type skills challenge and more.

GBR!

An important hire was made official on Tuesday — Pat Stewart, who will be Matt Rhule's next general manager.

Didn’t see a previous post about this . How do we feel about the injury report? Any surprises? Alvano is listed as ‘limited’, have to be concerned that his window as a contributor is getting smaller. Did we already know issues with Dawson Merritt’s health?

We can keep this thread running as the next few days unfold ...

for the Niners, nonexistent activity, have lost a couple of staples to the team (including FB Juscyzk) but I think they plan on signing their major studs and building thru the draft for depth (7 picks in first 4 rounds)

I think it is hard to make a case for canning Hoiberg given he was just extended….but, he needs to get better players. Have to imagine his assistants are going to pay the price

Next Nebraska Game - Saturday, March 15
Nebraska at Ohio State (11:00 AM - BTN+)

On ESPN now.

I love the tradition of Husker Volleyball taking their Spring Match on the road to smaller towns. Once again it will be televised by Nebraska Public Media & streamed by BTN+.

"Nebraska volleyball will play a spring match against South Dakota State in Ord on Saturday, May 3 at 2 p.m."

Minnesota athletic director Mark Coyle announced the firing of head men's basketball coach Ben Johnson at 1 a.m. last night.

Johnson's Gophers lost to Northwestern 72-64 in the first game of the Big Ten Tournament yesterday. Johnson was 56-71 overall and 22-57 in Big Ten play in four seasons at Minnesota.
