NEBRASKA MEN’S BASKETBALL POSTGAME COMMENTS:
HOIBERG – PROUD OF TEAM FOR KEEPING THE FIGHT
Head Coach of Nebraska Men’s Basketball Fred Hoiberg opened his postgame press conference after Monday night’s loss to Indiana saying he was proud of his team’s efforts but wished the end call would have went another way…
The Huskers remain winless in Big Ten play and travel to Columbus to take on Ohio State on Saturday.
HOIBERG – GREAT TO HAVE TREY BACK FOR DEFENSE
The return of Trey McGowens’ for Nebraska Men’s Basketball was overshadowed in the loss to Indiana on Monday night. Head Coach Fred Hoiberg added in his postgame thoughts that it was good to see the junior back on the floor…
Trey ended with seven total points on the day in 21 minutes of play. The Huskers are still searching for their first win in the Big Ten as Nebraska travels to Ohio State on Saturday.
HOIBERG – COULD NOT GET THE STOP WHEN NEEDED
Head Coach of the Nebraska Men’s Basketball team Fred Hoiberg was disappointed in his team’s inability to capitalize on winning plays at the end of the contest against Indiana on Monday…
The Huskers are looking to find their first Big Ten conference win on the season when they travel to Columbus to take on the Buckeyes on Saturday. The game will be televised on the Big Ten Network.
NEBRASKA FOOTBALL FINDS ANOTHER PORTAL QUARTERBACK:
After a weekend official visit to Lincoln with his family, former four-star Florida State quarterback Chubba Purdy picked the Huskers over an offer from Oklahoma.
He will join former four-star Texas quarterback Casey Thompson in Lincoln, and compete for the starting job in 2022 under new Husker offensive coordinator Mark Whipple.
The Huskers quarterback room now consists of Purdy, Thompson, Logan Smothers, Heinrich Haarberg, and incoming freshman Richard Torres.
HONAS TO ENTER TRANSFER PORTAL:
Seventh-year senior Nebraska linebacker Will Honas has entered the NCAA transfer portal.
After just recently receiving a waiver from the NCAA that Nebraska signed off on to return for a seventh season, the Wichita, Kan. native made the decision to enter the transfer portal on Monday.
Honas has been at NU since the beginning with head coach Scott Frost, but suffered two knee injuries at NU in the Fall of 2018 and the spring of 2021. He also suffered a knee injury as a junior college player back in 2016 at El Dorado (Kan.) Butler C.C.
In four seasons at NU, Honas played in a total of 23 games, making 145 total tackles, 12 tackles-for-loss and four quarterback sacks.
MARKOWSKI EARNS ANOTHER BIG TEN HONOR:
Nebraska’s Alexis Markowski captured her fourth Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Week award of the season.
Markowski, a 6-3 forward/center out of Lincoln Pius X High School, erupted for a career-high 27 points on a career-best 6-of-7 three-point shooting to lead Nebraska at Iowa on Sunday afternoon.
In her second week as a starter, the reigning USBWA National Freshman of the Week averaged 22.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals on 66.7 percent (18-27) shooting from the field, including 77.8 percent (7-9) from three-point range.
