About this listen

Nebraska hoops ended the regular season with an OT win over Iowa — a game that shouldn’t have been that close, but the Huskers showed toughness and chemistry when it mattered most. We break down the slow start, the glaring lack of size, why Rienk Mast has to be more consistent, and how the OT finish can translate to tournament basketball.

And here’s the big part: with that win, Nebraska finishes No. 2 in the Big Ten and locks up a double-bye — massive in a conference this deep.

Then we switch gears to spring football. Nebraska just held a 150-play scrimmage, and both coordinators had strong notes — especially about Anthony Colandrea’s mobility and pace, plus defensive transfers standing out as Rob Aurich installs his scheme. We’ll also look ahead to the Red-White Spring Game on March 30, 2026.

To close it out: Bleav It or Not — Fred Hoiberg should win Big Ten Coach of the Year after what he’s done with this program.
