Huskers Host Texas
Nebraska gets a shot at taking down the #3 rated Texas basketball team today at 12:47, with television coverage throughout the region. I know our basketball coverage is poor to non-existant (akin the level of play in recent years), but the Huskers are quietly putting together a pretty strong season in the final run of…

Husker Future Takes The Court
No more Alecs Maric. No more slow pace. Quicker players. More pure shooters. MORE EXCITEMENT! NU opened the 2008-09 season with an exhibition win over Chadron State, 85-54. What a difference a year makes, as this team will run and score much more quickly, and may feature up to five guards in it’s lineup at any…
Is Nebraska Ready?
I believe, fairly soon, NU will have to do something it hasn’t ever had to do. What exactly am I referring to? Paying up, that’s what. Nebraska, even though we are in the top 5 of our conference, has never really had to pay big time dollars to retain any of our coaches. Doc Sadler was…
And The Winner Of Roburt Sallie’s (Wrongfully) Stripped Scholarship Is…
Eshuante Jones, a 6’4″ shooting guard from Ft. Wayne, IN. Jones, who goes by the nickname “Bear”, committed to Indiana out of high school, but didn’t qualify academically, and instead went to Hargrave Military Academy. From there he committed to Oregon State, but was released from his signing due to coaching changes. According to his AAU…
Roburt Sallie Denied Entrance
Thursday, May 22 was a dark day for Husker hoop fans. This was the day the Big 12 conference denied entrance to the highly touted basketball recruit, Roburt Sallie. Although the day will be remembered, the saga started in the fall of 2006. Roburt Sallie committed to Washington out of high school but failed to meet…
Sadler Inks Extension
Doc Sadler was rewarded for a hard fought 20 win season on Wednesday, when he signed a two year extension, keeping him in Lincoln until June of 2014. NU sweetened the deal by $100,000, now bringing his base salary to $800,000. Sadler can earn quite a bit more based on incentives in his contract. If the…
Kent Pavelka—A Voice For Every Husker Fan
Recently I was given the opportunity to talk with Kent Pavelka, former play by play announcer of Husker football and current PBP announcer of men’s basketball. We started off talking about basketball, but I couldn’t resist asking a few questions about the announcer himself. In my opinion, KP is, was, and always will be the…
Husker Basketball Posts Nine Straight Wins
In typical Doc Sadler-led Husker Basketball, Nebraska is tearing up the non-conference schedule. Last night’s 77-46 win over North Dakota was the team’s ninth straight win in a streak that has seen upsets over USC and in-state rival, Creighton. The meat of the schedule gets started next week in their final Big 12 campaign where…
