Nebraska’s Berke Büyüktuncel to play in FIBA U20 EuroBasket
LINCOLN, Neb. (Huskers.com) – Nebraska rising sophomore Berke Büyüktuncel will be in action beginning this weekend as the Republic of Türkiye begins play in the 2024 FIBA U20 EuroBasket in Gdynia, Poland.
Türkiye is in a group with Belgium, North Macedonia and Spain and will play its group games beginning on Saturday against Belgium. The tournament runs until Sunday, July 21st and all of the games will be available on FIBA’s YouTube page.
Büyüktuncel, a 6-foot-9, 245-pound forward, is an experienced player on the international stage, as he has made five previous national youth team tournaments since 2021 and made his debut on the Senior National Team in 2023. At last year’s U20 European Championships, he averaged 13.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. Büyüktuncel led Türkiye to a third-place finish at the U19 Basketball World Cup, earning a spot to the “All-Star Five” at the event, as he averaged 11.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per contest.
Earlier this week, he was featured by FIBA as one of the Players to Watch in the event preview.
As a freshman at UCLA, Büyüktuncel averaged 4.9 points and 2.7 rebounds in 24 games, as he missed the first three games of the year awaiting clearance from the NCAA while also missing time with a pair of injuries. He averaged 17.5 minutes per game while making seven of his eight starts in Pac-12 play for the Bruins before joining the Husker program earlier this summer.

NioCorp to start work on its minerals mine in southeast Nebraska
NioCorp announced Monday that it plans to start work on its critical minerals mine in southeast Nebraska.
The project, which the company is calling its mine portal project, will involve building a main entrance to the Elk Creek underground mine and will serve as the primary access point for personnel, equipment, and materials for the underground mining operations. It also will include excavating bedrock, drilling and blasting to establish the twin mine ramps, on-site access road construction, and construction of on-site supporting infrastructure.
The project, which will cost nearly $45 million, is set to get underway before the end of the month. It marks the first time Colorado-based NioCorp will actually start any significant work on the main mine, from which the company hopes to extract niobium, scandium, titanium and other minerals.
“Given the size of this excavation work, the portal project really marks the beginning of a major pre-construction activity at the Elk Creek Project site and is an important step toward preparing for underground development,” Scott Honan, the company’s president and chief operating officer, said in a release.
Mark A. Smith, Niocorp’s chairman and CEO, called the project, “a significant milestone.”
Niocorp has spent more than 15 years trying to develop the mine on land in Johnson County, about 65 miles southeast of Lincoln.
The company still needs to raise a significant amount of money to make the $1.2 billion mine a reality, though. In December, NioCorp said it had raised about $360 million, or a little more than a quarter of the total cost. It is still waiting for approval of a $780 million debt financing application from the Export-Import Bank of the United States.
