The No. 2 Nebraska men’s gymnastics team will battle No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 4 Stanford in Norman, Okla., on Saturday, Feb. 3. Competition is set for 7 p.m. After falling one spot in the CGA Poll this week, the Huskers look to earn their No. 1 spot back, but it won’t come easily. NU enters the McCasland Field House, where the Sooners haven’t lost a meet since 2007.

Last Time Out

The Huskers cracked No. 3 Ohio State in front of a sea of red at the Bob Devaney Sports Center, 411.750 – 404.150 on Jan. 20. NU was led by Jake Bonnay, Anton Stephenson and Daniel Leal, who each claimed event titles. Bonnay claimed the floor title (14.45), Stephenson claimed the vault title (15.20) and Leal claimed the parallel bars title (14.45). The Huskers scored a 72.50 on vault, tying the school record on that event. It was the second time that Nebraska beat Ohio State this season.

Lincoln - The Nebraska women's basketball team used a suffocating defense to hold Illinois to just 10 first-half points, as the Huskers worked their way to a 62-47 win over the Fighting Illini at the Pinnacle Bank Arena on Thursday night.

With the victory, Nebraska improved to 17-6 overall and 8-2 in the Big Ten, while Illinois slipped to 9-15 overall and 0-10 in the conference. Coupled with a Purdue win over Michigan, Nebraska climbed into sole possession of second place in the Big Ten, trailing only No. 11 Maryland. The Terrapins improved to 19-3 overall and 8-1 in the Big Ten with a win over Rutgers on Thursday night in College Park. Sunday's 2 p.m. tip with the Terrapins at Pinnacle Bank Arena will be for first place in the Big Ten standings, and tickets are available now at Huskers.com.

MSU upsets #21 UM in women's hoops.  Team has been crushed by injuries this year, at one point down to only 6 active players, but wins over Maryland and Michigan show the talent is there.

Although OSU getting run by 20 at unranked ISF makes me think maybe the Big Ten just sucks this year.

Geez, tough conference - I thought the Longhorns were good

Columbus- The Nebraska swim and dive team broke multiple school records in the Thursday finals of the 2018 Big Ten Championships.

In the 500-yard freestyle, freshman Autumn Haebig broke her own school record with a new time of 4:42.69. She finished 12th overall in the finals.

In the 2000-yard individual medley, Tori Beeler set a new school record and personal best with her time of 1:59.02. She finished 18th overall, followed by team captain Anna McDonald for 24th (2:00.27).

The Big Red broke the school 400-yard medley relay record with a time of 3:36.03, shaving three seconds off of the previous top spot. Haebig broke another school record for her lead off clocking in at 53.36.

"This was one of the best conference sessions in recent memory," head coach Pablo Morales said. "Autumn got us off to a great start by breaking her own school record in the 500. She learned from her morning swim and paced herself well tonight."

On Beeler's performance, Morales said "Tori also adjusted her strategy from the morning and had a great second 100, taking down a 21-year-old school record."

"We are within striking distance of some teams just ahead of us, so it is important to keep this going."

The Huskers will continue competition on Friday. The first session will begin at 10 a.m.
