Nebraska has a 33-32 lead at halftime over Minnesota thanks to a late outburst from Caleb Walker.
The senior wing stole a pass and then completed the ensuing fast break with a dunk with 22 seconds left. Then after Minnesota scored with four seconds left, Walker swished a 25-footer at the buzzer to give the Huskers the lead.
Junior center Jorge Brian Diaz is sidelined today by his chronic foot problems. That has meant first-half action for walk-on Mike Fox and Christopher Niemann.
Brandon Richardson has eight points for NU. Minnesota center Elliott Eliason, a freshman from Chadron, Neb., has five points and a rebound.

Just another unmitigated disaster, glad I left Friday for Tulsa. The NU admn. should consider paying the students $5 each to attend a home game. What’s depressing is to check the starting lineups in the OWH for each game…..NU has 4 seniors, Minn has one. Is it too late for Doc to make a deal to recruit a top JC team intact for next year?
I have been a supporter for a long time, and have been bashed by most of the bloggers. I usually took it with a grain of salt, cause most of the people who bash, ALWAYS BASH EVERYDAY, DAY AFTER DAY. But I’m done….. I can no longer defend what the hel* where doing. Good first half, then in the second we decide to go away from what was working in the first half. They didn’t take it away, we took ourselves out of what was working. Luckily baseball starts next month.
Yea, it’s only been four years since the baseball team has made any tournament.
Too bad there’s not an NIT for baseball
Your Lil’ Herbie hardball team SUXs too!!
Is it Spring pigskin action, yet. LOL
You think losing at home to a team that won’t finish in the top half of the league is bad now? The top 4 leading scorers for NU in this game are all seniors. Yikes!
This is only going to get worse, folks. Diaz is likely done for the season (his feet are killing him), we have Mid-Major talent (at best) outside of Bo, and only one game (Iowa at Devaney) that I would consider a win.
Time for Tom Osborne to start looking for the next Nebrasketball Coach, before attendance and season ticket sales take a nose dive. The only thing that might keep Doc here for another year is the huge buyout from his latest contract.
The “huge buyout” is nothing compared to the lost revenue of the most poorly recruited, poorly coached group of guys playing DI BB in the B1G (if not the entire NCAA.)
Nu fans are pathetic. Won’t go to games or cheer but complain about home losses..at leat 50 percent of the
Problem
Yes it’s absolutely true blue that Lil’ Herbie mens roundball pom pom wavers are pathetic. And may I add apathetic. Eh
But the Lil’ Herbie doldrums goes much deeper than beingthe absolute MOST pathetic basketball fandom in the universe. Yes. Well bloody yes, naturally.
You see Lil’ Herbie small town, bUbbhood. Your collective APATHY can be contributed to one absolute reason and may I suggest, ONE reason only!
The major college hoopdom Deities are still reighning down their WISE wrath on y’all Lil’ Herbie folk for RUNNING OUT the best head coach money could buy. That’s right. Y’all small town Hayseeds RAN OFF that uppity, slick-talking CITY SLICKER and Lil’ Herbie mens basketball ain’t been the same brand of winning on a consistent basis. Howdy.
In other words, y’all have no one to blame for the lame arse state of Lil’ Herbie mens hoops than your collective bUbbahood!
Now, go drown you collective small town basketball troubles on that domestic brewsky. LMAO
May I add, the Lil’ Herbie mens basketball media-nexus has their fair share of BLAME in RUNNING OFF that no account, CITY SLICKER. And so do the relatively wealthy Lil’ Herbie Good Ol’ Boy, Republican BOOSTERS. They too aided and abetted in RUNNING OFF that low down City Slicker. Eh.
Gee macjones….THANKS for adding even more TO your incoherent rambLINGS
The absolute bloody T-R-U-T-H fuels your INHERIT anger. Doesn’t it small town/suburban good ol’ boy Roy!
Oh, at least Mr. STANLEY1 has that inner WISDOM to understand the PATHETIC, LAUGHABLE state of Lil’ Herbie MCB. Eh.
Too bad DON C and his Lil’ Herbie small town MINIONS be too DENSE to acknowledge that fact, Jack. dUh.
What I will NEVER understand is why the same UNL (and the whole state) ran Danny nee out years ago for not winning enough and then cozied up to Barry Collier and now Doc Sadler. Remember when Steve Pederson said he was not willing to allow Nebraska to fall into mediocrity??? After every loss Sadler tells the press that somehow “it’s on me” — that he is not coaching as well as he should be. WELL? Either (1) recognize that he is doing as well as he is EVER going to do and settle for perpetual bottom-of-the conference status, OR (2) fire him and eat the fat contract that Osborne gave him.
Has anyone looked at Osborne’s expression when he is at those games (and when he’s actually awake)?
Just think how good the Sadler Huskers will look bfore all 37 fans who go to see them at the fancy new arena.
Stanley let me answer that.. NU fans hold others to higher expectations then they hold themselves to. As an example Osborne was never good enough, for about 20 years nu FANS CONTINUED TO SAY WE COULD DO BETTER, now his the greatest. Nee took us to the NCAA touranment several times, and I believe even one year had us ranked in the top 10 / 15, but then NU fan raise the bar to an unexpected level. Sooooo we got what we deserved. Osborne is the one with the knowledge on what needs to be done, let him evaluate the State of the program and make the appropriate decision. And hopefully moving forward the NU fans will realize what it is they had…. Don’t worry Bo if you go 12-1 next year you’ll still bashed……. As the idiot above would say, ” You all chased the city slicker out of dodge, HOWDY !”
A ten line story posted at halftime of the game and then 100 lines of utter stupidity from people that seriously need to get in the real world. Husker basketball: it is what it is. Pathetic. Move on.
Doc is a good defensive coach. He should be congratulated for this skill.
Doc tries very hard to have a team that performs well. He should be congratulated for this effort.
Doc also has Cipriano-disease. He thinks defense wins games.
Offense wins games. I don’t know of any games where the team that scores the most points doesn’t win. A good defensive player that holds the other teams best player to only 12 points, while scoring 4 points, still ends up at a minus 8 for the game. Whereas a good offennsive player that allows the other player to score 20 points, while scoring 20 points himself, ends up with a zero difference. Furthermore, this type of player will free up other players to score more.
I like Doc, but he is not the coach for Nebraska’s future. Tom is great, but he should be ashamed for allowing the huge buy-out clause in Doc’s contract.
