How to Watch Nebraska Women’s Basketball vs. No. 12 Ohio State: Preview, Breakdown, TV Channel

The Nebraska women’s basketball team may be able to give some pointers to Nebraska men’s basketball.

As the men continue to fall apart, the Husker women have the train rolling, crushing Wisconsin 91-60 Monday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena to extend its winning streak to five games thanks to a balanced scoring attack, including a team-high 17 points from Kendall Moriarty off the bench. Jessica Petrie (15), Britt Prince (14), Alexis Markowski (12) and Petra Bozan (10) made up the five double figure scorers for NU who shot over 54% from the field while going a staggering 16-for-32 from beyond the arc.

It was a perfect tune up game as Nebraska puts that winning streak on the line against a top-12 Ohio State team with only one loss on its schedule in 18 games.

Here’s all you need to know as the Huskers battle the No. 12 Buckeyes Sunday in Lincoln for the “Pack PBA” game.

Outlook: With at least 24 wins in seven of his 12 seasons, including an Elite Eight and three Sweet 16s, Kevin McGruff has established Ohio State as a perennial contender in the Big Ten, and that hasn’t changed so far through the 2024-2025 season.

Coming off 26 wins and an appearance in the NCAA Round of 32, OSU lost a ton of production which included All-Big Ten AP All-American Jacy Sheldon and All-Big Ten second team pick Celeste Taylor who was also named the conference defensive player of the year by the coaches. In total, 62% of last season’s minutes departed the program including the transfer of Rikki Harris to Dayton after playing in 31 of the 32 games for the Buckeyes.

Despite the turnover, McGruff and OSU returned two of its biggest stars with AP All-American Honorable Mention Cotie McMahon coming back for her junior season in Columbus. She’s been leading the charge for Ohio State despite missing four games with a team-high 16.6 PPG while grabbing 4.6 rebounds per contest. Hybrid guard Taylor Thierry is back for her senior season and is once again averaging double digits (10.2 PPG) while shooting over 58% from the field and grabbing 5.7 rebounds per game which is second on the team.

A trio of newcomers replenished the star power lost by OSU over the offseason. Oregon transfer Chance Gray has poured in 15.9 points per game through her first 18 games as a Buckeye while shooting 40.6% from three. More impressively, true freshman guard Jaloni Cambridge has cracked the starting lineup and has taken off with 15.4 points per game and leads the team with 4.1 assists per game. The other big addition through the transfer portal has been Kentucky’s Ajae Petty who has come into Columbus averaging 10.6 PPG and 7.9 RPG as a 6-foot-3 forward.

Averaging 83.4 points (2nd in B1G) and 13.6 steals (1st in B1G) per game, Ohio State is dangerous on both ends of the floor. Coming off a shocking 62-59 loss to Penn State on the road, the Buckeyes will be out for blood to rebound from its first loss of the season. Put me down for an Ohio State win, but with a huge crowd expected for Sunday afternoon, crazier upsets have happened inside PBA.

4.1-magnitude earthquake hits south-central Nebraska

4.1-magnitude earthquake hits south-central Nebraska

People across Nebraska and Kansas reported feeling an earthquake Sunday afternoon.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a quake measuring 4.1 on the Richter Scale struck around 1 p.m. about 3 miles east of the Webster County village of Cowles, which is in south-central Nebraska near the Kansas border.

A quake of that magnitude is considered “light” and not likely to cause damage.

But the USGS received dozens of reports from people who said they felt the quake, some as far away as Omaha and Manhattan, Kansas. Numerous people took to social media to report feeling the quake.

Two aftershocks of 2.6 magnitude later occurred near the original quake site, one about 90 minutes after the initial quake and one later Sunday night.

Earthquakes are relatively rare in Nebraska, but the state does usually record one or two minor ones per year. The last time Nebraska recorded a quake of a magnitude 4 or above was in December 2023, also in Webster County.

NioCorp to start work on its minerals mine in southeast Nebraska

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.
