Tonight’s game at Arizona is the first game where Iowa State is the betting underdog since the Cyclones played at Purdue.

That game was on December 6th. Matt Campbell took the Penn State job the day before that game.

Jake Diebler being 3-0 against Purdue in his tenure is objectively hilarious.

No. 12 Nebraska basketball's second-half flurry trounces Trojans After Fred Hoiberg got on his team "pretty good" at halftime, No. 12 Nebraska basketball played its ideal second half against USC.

Nebraska wiped USC off the map with dominant second half. The Huskers got stops on defense, which turned into opportunities in transition. Their halfcourt offense generated looks at the rim. And, of course, there was another Pryce Sandfort heater. omaha.com/sports/huske...

After watching Mikey Lewis go off on Nebraska in person at the Pentagon last year, glad to see he’s going nuclear on Gonzaga for their last visit to Saint Mary’s.

Nebraska now up to 20 assists on 28 made field goals in this game with just under four minutes to play.

Can’t draw it up much better than that.

Wound up going down quite the rabbit hole of early 2000s NBA highlights earlier this week.

Just so happened to come across a pair of future Big Ten basketball dads squaring off in the 2004 playoffs.

Keaton Wagler’s Meteoric Rise at Illinois Isn’t a Fluke The freshman guard went from under-the-radar prospect to a potential top-five NBA draft pick. But his story is one about the imperfect art of recruiting.

The easy narrative is that Keaton Wagler was an unseen, off-circuit recruit.

The real story is a lot more complicated and explains the imperfect art of modern recruiting.

'Hustle plays' help No. 12 Nebraska turn back athletic Maryland, freshman star Fred Hoiberg didn't like the looks of his guys' faces until a series of hustle plays - triggered by Sam Hoiberg - helped the Huskers turn back the testy Terrapins.

Fred Hoiberg didn't like his team's body language when Nebraska trailed Maryland by three points.

“Looking at their faces, it felt like we were down 20."

The Huskers responded with a hair-on-fire effort over the last 10 minutes, avoiding a late upset. omaha.com/sports/huske...

New at Flatwater: Omaha’s streetcar was originally supposed to open in late 2026, but it’s likely the utility lines along the route won’t even be fully replaced by then. Behind the scenes, heated arguments between the city and MUD turned into delays.

If you need to describe the experience of watching this Nebraska basketball team to somebody who has somehow not watched them yet this season, show them that sequence.

Describes this group perfectly.

Sam Hoiberg making enormous plays defensively against Maryland at PBA.

I think I’ve seen this one before.

That foul call on Mast was a Kelly Pfeifer special.

Color analyst on Big Ten Network, and former Wisconsin guard Jordan Taylor just said that Sam Hoiberg is built like Geodude.
