KEARNEY, Neb — Students at the University of Nebraska at Kearney will get a close-up look at state law enforcement work during a Nebraska State Patrol Experience Day planned for Wednesday, March 25.
The University of Nebraska at Kearney Department of Criminal Justice will host the educational event on campus, which will bring an increased Nebraska State Patrol presence beginning that morning and lasting throughout the day. The activity is planned and coordinated with the university, and there is no emergency.
Inside the Ockinga Conference Center, students will participate in a crime scene investigation walkthrough and a “day in the life” station highlighting the role and responsibilities of a state trooper.
Outdoor demonstrations are scheduled in the parking lots between the College of Education and West Center. Those demonstrations will include displays from the Nebraska State Patrol SWAT team, bomb squad, canine unit and drone operations, along with multiple patrol vehicles. Troopers will also provide ride-along demonstrations as part of the experience.
A Nebraska State Patrol helicopter is also scheduled to land on the practice field just east of the parking lots.
Community members may notice law enforcement vehicles, specialized equipment and aircraft activity during the event, but all activities are part of the planned Experience Day programming.
The Big Ten dominated Saturday in the NCAA Tournament with four wins. Michigan and Illinois both looked like teams that were far superior to their opponents. Nebraska still has some magic left in what has been a very magical season.
Here are the scores and the rest of my analysis from the Big Ten games in the NCAA Tournament from second-round Saturday:
No. 1 Michigan 95-72 vs No. 9 Saint Louis
The Wolverines defense held Robert Avila in check and the rest of Saint Louis’s top guys. Yaxel Lendeborg for the Wolverines went in takeover mode, and it added a dangerous element to Michigan’s offense. Lendeborg went off for 25 points, shot 3-5 from 3, and had 6 rebounds. To complement Lendeborg’s great showing, Michigan held in 40 rebounds and shot 47.8% from 3. It was another game where Michigan looked miles ahead of its competition. It’s hard not to view this team as one that will be one of the final teams left at the end of March.
No. 3 Michigan State 77-69 vs No. 6 Louisville
Without star guard Mikel Brown Jr. for Louisville, it was going to be a steep hill to climb to get this victory. Coen Carr and Jeremy Fears Jr. make things even worse with stellar performances. Carr had 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks. Jeremy Fears Jr. had a solid scoring night but was still an elite facilitator with 16 assists. The Spartans’ offense was on par, even with 34 rebounds, and as an offense, shooting 42.3% from 3. Tom Izzo and the Spartans keep the momentum high with another big tournament win.
No. 3 Illinois 76-55 vs No. 11 VCU
VCU played better than in this game than they did in their prebopsi win over North Carolina. Losing Nyk Lewis early in this game was a tough blow, but even with an improved showing, they needed another 30-point masterclass from Terrence Hill Jr., and they didn’t get that. Hill Jr. only posted 17 points off the bench, while Illinois dominated VCU. Tomislav set the game on fire with his poster dunk, and that really sealed the fate of this game. He also chipped in 14 points and played a huge part in the Fighting Illini’s dominant performance on the glass. Andrej Stojakovic led the way with his 21-point performance. Illinois now heads to the Sweet 16.
No. 5 Vanderbilt 74-72 vs No. 4 Nebraska
Just another game showing why college basketball is amazing in March. 8 seconds left in the game, and the Cornhuskers do not call a timeout and immediately take the ball up and get a game-winning layup. Vanderbilt gets two seconds for a half-court heave, and it is as close as it gets to sinking in before rattling out. What a game. The perfect season keeps going for Nebraska. This game was too close for comfort all the way through, and down the stretch, both teams were trading buckets. The Cornhuskers got 4 of their players to reach double figures, and it was their shooting 47.4% and 55.8% from the field that made the difference. The Cornhuskers made the shots, and they head to the sweet 16 now after getting their first tournament win ever.
Overview
The momentum is still high in the Big Ten as the top teams from the regular season are having similar success in the NCAA tournament. Nebraska’s dream season has yet to come to an end, and they top their only tournament win in program history with a thrilling win over Vanderbilt.
LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – Nebraska men’s basketball returned home on Sunday after defeating Vanderbilt in the NCAA Tournament and advancing to the program’s first Sweet 16.
Hundreds of Nebraska fans flocked to the Lincoln Airport to welcome the team home. Cheers rung out in the arrivals area of the airport as the team came out.
The players took time to sign autographs, take photos, and celebrate with the Husker fans who came to welcome them home. The team then got on their bus to return to Nebraska’s training facility.
