Nebraska Cornhuskers Tickets |
Alabama Crimson Tide |
The Nebraska Cornhuskers, or Huskers, are the athletic teams of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The university is a member of the Big 12 Conference and competes in NCAA Division I, fielding 21 varsity teams in 14 sports. While the University of Nebraska has experienced varying amounts of success for their intercollegiate athletic programs, men's basketball has been an exception. Nebraska has a distinction of one of the few major conference programs never to win a single game in the NCAA Tournament. In fact, in the over 90 years of varsity competition at the University, the first trip to the NCAA Tournament for Nebraska did not come until 1986. Much of the team's success came under the tenure of Danny Nee, head coach from 1987-2000. Nee is the team's all-time winningest head coach with a record of 254-190. Nee led the Cornhuskers to five of their six NCAA Tournament apperances, six bids to the National Invitation Tournament, including the 1996 NIT Championship. The current head coach of the Cornhuskers is Barry Collier. Collier has led the Huskers since 2001 and has a record of 89-91. Since taking over as head coach, the Huskers have only made two trips to the postseason, zero NCAA bids and posted the lowest attendance per-game average in the history of the Bob Devaney Sports Center in the 2005-2006 season. In the eastern, and most populous part of the state of Nebraska, much attention during basketball season has shifted to Nebraska's in-state rival, the Creighton Bluejays.
