Nebraska Cornhuskers

The Nebraska Cornhuskers play at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, where the program aims to establish basketball success to match the football tradition. Under Fred Hoiberg, the Cornhuskers have shown growth in the rugged Big Ten. Nebraska's scarlet and cream colors and loyal fanbase support the program through rebuilding. The program has never won an NCAA Tournament game, making the first March win a program goal. Nebraska's move to the Big Ten in 2011 presented new challenges and opportunities. The Cornhuskers' rivalry with Iowa and Creighton adds regional stakes.

Nebraska has made seven NCAA Tournament appearances, with the most recent in 2014 under Tim Miles. The program's greatest success came in the 1990s under Danny Nee. Tyronn Lue, Eric Piatkowski, and Mikki Moore are among the program's NBA alumni. Nebraska's basketball tradition has historically played second to football. The Cornhuskers' 2018 NIT appearance was the program's first postseason bid in four years. The program continues to chase its first NCAA Tournament victory.
