The Huskers ran away from the Bradley Braves Wednesday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena, 92-53. NU is now 8-0 while BU falls to 4-4.

Nebraska took a beat to control the game. The Huskers shot 58.8% in the opening period but tallied four turnovers, helping the Braves keep the game in single digits.

In the second quarter, the Big Red broke the game wide open. An 11-0 run pushed the difference to 17 points. NU would push the difference to 20 points by halftime, 30 points in the third quarter, and finish just shy of 40 points by the end of the game.

Nebraska coach Amy Williams was proud of the assists-to-made baskets and rebounding margin in the game. The Huskers made 37 shots on 26 assists and outrebounded the Braves 48-25.

“Thrilled we were able to take care of those two things and come out with a good win,” Williams said after the game.

Bradley was without starter Claire McDougall for most of the game. Averaging 10.1 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, McDougall chased a ball out of bounds and collided with a photographer. She would leave the game with a leg injury and not return.

The Braves also briefly had another starter out of the game. Ellie McDermid rolled her ankle midway through the first quarter. She would also go to the locker room but returned a couple of minutes later, eventually playing 24 minutes.

There weren’t any new injuries for Nebraska, who is still waiting on the return of Natalie Potts.

Logan Nissley is still working her way back from missing time earlier in the season, but she put up 10 points in 17 minutes off the bench. She also had seven assists, five rebounds, and two steals.

“I thought Logan’s stat line was amazing,” Williams said. “She’s still working into everything. But for her to come out there and to have a—10 points, seven assists, no turnovers, and five rebounds. Just all areas that you can kind of impact the game.”

This is just the second time in program history that Nebraska has scored at least 80 in eight straight games. The 987-88 Big Eight Champion Huskers had a similar stretch, going 7-1. This year’s group is 8-0.

This is the first time ever that both Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball teams have started the same season 8-0. The last time both teams began the same season 7-0 was in 1992-93.

The Husker women will look to stay unblemished with a Big Ten Conference opponent this weekend. The league opener is at Penn State on Saturday. Tip from State College is slated for noon CST. The game will be streamed on B1G+.

Nebraska Game and Parks 250-mile challenge offers prizes for getting outdoors


Nebraska Game and Parks is offering residents a chance to win prizes simply for getting outside and moving, as part of a challenge honoring America’s 250th birthday.

The Outdoor Nebraska 250-Mile Challenge invites participants to log miles through activities like walking, running, kayaking, horseback riding and more using any fitness app. The goal is to reach 250 miles before the end of the year. Once completed, participants fill out a form on the Nebraska Game and Parks website to become eligible for prizes.

Mike Selman, a regular walker at Zorinsky Lake, said the challenge caught his attention.

“I think it’s great, as long as you put in the time and effort,” Selman said.

Selman said getting outdoors is already a big part of his routine.

“I absolutely love it, I love being outdoors, just the beauty, the nature, the trees, the water,” Selman said.

He said one of his favorite aspects of the challenge is the opportunity to explore Nebraska’s many outdoor spaces.

“Especially here, around Zorinsky, Standing Bear, Flanagan, you got great opportunities and great places to go,” Selman said.

When asked if he planned to submit his miles, Selman did not hesitate.

“I’ll definitely think about it, most definitely,” Selman said.

Between Memorial Day and the end of the year, logging just over 1 mile a day would be enough to reach the 250-mile goal and qualify for prizes.

Nebraska lands Georgia OL KD Jones for 2027 class


The Nebraska football team added its third 2027 offensive line commitment and addition from the state of Georgia on Wednesday.

Loganville (Ga.) Grayson offensive lineman KD Jones officially announced his commitment to NU this week. The 6-foot-4, 270-pound Jones picked the Huskers over Georgia Tech, Auburn, Kentucky and Virginia Tech. He visited Lincoln on May 6 and is scheduled to take his official visit to Nebraska on June 6.

The Huskers first offered Jones in April, after offensive line coach Geep Wade had previously been recruiting him at Georgia Tech.

“Coach Wade called me and offered me today,” Jones told HuskerOnline on Apr. 25. “He has been on me for a long time, ever since he was at Tech. So his interest wasn’t anything new to me. He came to watch me train at school and was amazed. He offered the next day.”

Jones joins safety Corey Hadley from the state of Georgia in NU’s 2027 recruiting class.

“I knew nothing about Nebraska before the offer,” Jones said in April. But now that Coach Wade and Coach (Lonnie) Teasley are there, I know I can trust them.”

Jones had planned to take official visits to all the schools recruiting him, but his early commitment to NU appears to have shut down those visits.

He jones Omaha (Neb.) Millard North’s Matt Erickson and fellow Grayson product Jordan Agbanoma are the other offensive linemen in the Huskers’ 2027 recruiting class. He’s now the 10th commitment in Nebraska’s class of 2027.
