Wildcats go long, outlast Huskers
Nebraska's defense Thursday night at Northwestern made a major miscalculation. The Husker men chose to clog the lane in the first half, daring the opponents to shoot 3-pointers. Northwestern obliged, hitting 10 of 19 from long range to take a 15-point halftime lead, then hung on for an 84-74 victory. Nebraska, down 41-26 after 20 minutes, cut the deficit to 54-53 with 10:39 left in the game and to 75-72 with 1:36 left.

Versatile Miller gives NU coaches plenty of options
Premium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.Nebraska runner Ashley Miller is putting her coaches in quite a quandary. The senior from Tipton, Iowa, has done so well in every event she's competed in this winter that distance coach Dave Harris said they'll have a hard time deciding which events to enter her in at the Big Ten track and field indoor championships Feb. 24 and 25 in Lincoln.

Top-five opponents will test NU in preview of postseason
Premium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.With the No. 7 Nebraska wrestling team set to face a pair of top five-ranked opponents this weekend, it would be easy for Husker fans to dial up the hype to unprecedented levels.

NU survives late Notre Dame bid for Westerkamp
Premium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.Bo Pelini had his jaw set, voice rising. That look. "Notre Dame's got nothing on us," he said to Jordan Westerkamp. By all accounts, Pelini is a low-pressure recruiter. And throughout Nebraska's courting of the most prolific receiver in Illinois state history, he'd been just that. But on the night of Dec. 15, as Westerkamp chewed on whether to visit the Fighting Irish, Pelini was animated in Westerkamp's house.

McKewon: Peat's pick hurts, but defense reloads
Premium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.Don't just ignore the elephant in the room. Offensive tackle Andrus Peat chose Stanford over Nebraska (and his defensive tackle brother Todd, and his cousin and 2012 commit Avery Moss). And that decision stings. "As I understand, It went down to the last few seconds beforehand," coach Bo Pelini said. He found out when you did. A potential All-American is heading to The Cardinal Farm for "school" and "fit" and all the other things you say when you don't want to admit, well, Stanford is closer,...

Lineman's pick not a re-Peat decision
Premium ContentClick on Premium Content on the Featured navigation bar for information.Two years, two Peats ... and almost too much drama. The only difference was that this one didn't go Nebraska's way. Touted offensive tackle Andrus Peat went relatively deep into national signing day before picking Stanford over the Huskers.
