Last night was senior night for Charles Richardson and Marcus Perry and they made sure that they were going out on a winning note!  The Huskers beat the Cowboys 85-73 in the regular season finale.  Both teams will meet once again on Thursday night in the opening round of the Big 12 Tournament.

Marcus Perry hit seven three pointers and finished with a career high 25 points, and Aleks Maric also had another double-double to add to his season totals.  Paul Verlander also had a career night as he scored 20 points in the game.

I have to wonder if the Huskers can beat the Cowboys in their home state and do it for the second time in less then 4 days.  It is going to be tough that is for sure, but we wish them the best and GO HUSKERS!

Aleks Maric continues to rack up awards in the Big 12 Conference.  Maric has been named to the Big 12 Second Team by the Associated Press and also by the coaches.  He has also been selected to the the Big 12 All-Improved Team by a panel of media that regularly covers the Big 12 Conference.

Aleks Maric scored more than 30 points for the second straight game, finishing his third consecutive double-double with 36 points and 12 rebounds, but his effort was not enough as Nebraska fell to Iowa State, 69-63, Wednesday night at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Maric was the man for Nebraska, hitting 15-of-30 attempts from the field and 6-of-11 from the free-throw line. His 15 field goals were just one shy of the Big 12 Conference record for field goals made in a game and tied the school record against a league opponent.

Still, there was no one else for the Huskers to help out Maric.  You can’t win with one big player, but that is what the Huskers are trying to do.  You cannot lose to this Iowa State team at home and expect to do much in the post season.  My guess for the Huskers is they lose their first round game in the Big 12 tournament.  They just aren’t that good, plain and simple.

Aleks Maric had another big day for the Huskers today as they defeated the Missouri Tigers 82-77 in overtime.  Maric finished with 31 points, 19 rebounds (a career high), and two blocks.  The first half alone he had 18 points and seven rebounds.

With the victory, Nebraska (16-11, 5-8) is assured of a winning season, remains in position to finish as high as fifth in the Big 12 and completed the first regular-season sweep of Missouri (17-10, 6-8) since 1993.

Many fans are not giving Maric any credit even though he had a big day and helped the Huskers win another Big12 game.  They feel with all the close shots that he misses that he shouldn’t even be playing and sitting on the bench.  I just have to say if Maric was not on the team, the Huskers would be shooting 30 three pointers a game and probably losing by 15 points each and every game.  Which would you rather have?

Another bad night for the Husker Basketball team as they lost another Big 12 game against Baylor 69-59.  It could have been worse as Baylor missed seven free throws in the last 2:44 of the game.

Leading scorer Aleks Maric, averaging 17.5 a game, was held to 11 points on 3-of-10 shooting. He also committed seven turnovers. The 6-foot-11, 270-pound junior spent the night being hounded by 7-0, 255-pound Mamadou Diene and 7-0, 265-pound Josh Lomers.

NU guard, Charles Richardson said he knew from the beginning of the game that the Huskers really weren’t into the game.  They didn’t have that attitude “We are going to win this game” and hopefully play for atleast a NIT bid.  Does that come down to coaching or players? I say both, the coach should reconize that during pre-game warmups and and be on the players from the get go.

Aleks Maric had a career night tonight against Kansas State as the senior center scored a career high 41 points leading the Huskers to the 74-63 win.  Maric’s 41 points come in second on the all time Huskers list.  He couldn’t quite get passed sharp shooter Eric Piatkowski who had 42 points.

Kansas State seemed to have control early in the game but as the game went on they begin to get into early foul trouble and never had an answer for Maric.  Big bear Huggins was seen on the sidelines throwing a fit more times then once, so that was great to watch

Will the Huskers be able to keep the momentum rolling?  We will have to wait and see!

Last night, first year Husker coach, Doc Sadler suspended sophomore guard Jamel White for the remainder of the season.  Neither White or Salder would say why, although coach Sadler said it was not for academics.

I won’t begin to speculate on what it could be as I don’t want to spread around rumors etc that aren’t true.  If anything does come out of it, you will hear it here on Nebsports.

Jamel did say that he planned on being back with the team next year if given the opportunity.  Coach Sadler really didn’t have much of a reply to that, other then he would have to think about it at the end of the season.

Despite a team-high 18 points from freshman Ryan Anderson, the Nebraska men’s basketball team was unable to pull an upset against sixth-ranked Texas A&M, falling 66-55 Saturday evening at the Devaney Center.

Anderson, a freshman from Seattle who has averaged 18.7 points per game in NU’s three games against ranked opponents this season, totaled 18 points and six rebounds, but Nebraska (14-9, 3-6 Big 12) saw its two-game win streak snapped. 

Anderson was one of three Huskers to finish in double figures. Aleks Maric finished with 15 points, including 13 points in the second half, while Marcus Perry totaled 11, including three 3-pointers

Wow, how the hell did this happen lol?  The Nebraska Basketball team played its greatest road game in a very long time last night beating the Red Raiders 61-59 on a three-pointer by Charles Richardson as time expired.  It is the second straight road win in the Big 12 for the Huskers.  That hasn’t happened since 1999!

The defense was key last night for the Huskers, holding Jarrius Jackson to only 7 points.  Hopefully the Huskers can continue their good play in Big 12 as they take on Texas A&M in Lincoln on Saturday night.  If you do not have Husker tickets, stop waiting and order them from our partners at StubHub!

What another terrible game by the Nebraska Basketball team.  In front of a packed house and Big-Monday ESPN the Huskers got demolished by the Kansas Jayhawks.  The Huskers went 13 straight minutes without scoring in the first half as they were beat right from the beginning.

The second half was a little better as the Huskers outscored the Jayhawks 40-33.  But of course it wasn’t near enough to overtake the Jayhawks after their great first half of shotting.

Freshman Ryan Anderson led the Huskers with a career high 19 points.  He was 6 for 9 from three point land.  Anderson is one bright spot for this team right now, hopefully he will be able to go out there and win some ballgames for the Huskers.
