Season Finished! Improved year-over-year record, but a disappointing under .500 up-and-down season for a young team with five freshmen regulars, and injury keeping Shavon Shields out of a critical four game stretch near season end. Nevertheless, Huskers defeated several higher-ranked teams, taking others down-to-the-wire. Huskers closed the season out with our deepest run so far in the B1G Tournament. While we must say farewell to MVP Shavon Shields and Sparkplug Benny Parker, the addition of Anton Gill combined with continued improvement in the upperclassmen and freshmen, along with incoming Isaiah Roby and Jeriah Horne makes this the most talented group of players we've seen since about the last time we played Kansas; ironically also on next year's schedule. Coach Miles can recruit; Now we'll see how well he 'coaches-em-up.' If we can bring in a graduate-transfer, or recruit a new BIG to play next season, Watch Out! 2014/15 Season Game Summaries: http://huskerhoopscentral.com/topic/7236-this-was-the-season-that-was-2015/

2018 /19 Men’s Basketball Game Schedulehttp://www.huskers.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&SPID=24&SPSID=22&DB_OEM_ID=10010------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Huskers (19-17) (6-14) (2-1) (1-1) KenPom ranking #47 @4/8/19 Huskers started @ Pre-Season #38 KemPom, Rising to #11 @ 1/15/19, an all-time high for the Huskers, Finishing-up at just about the starting point. The previous KenPom high was #34 during the 2014/15 season (following the prior NCAA Tournament season. #34 tied the prior high for the 2010/11 season under Doc Sadler). The decline from #11 in mid-January resulted from a prolonged, team-wide shooting slump, and season-ending injury to Sr. Isaac Copeland. Huskers won their final regular season game, two B1G Tournament Games, and one NIT match, despite suiting up only 8 players, by game-winning contributions from bench and walk-on players. IT'S BEEN A WILD RIDE!!! On March 26, 2019, the University announced Head Coach Tim Miles would not be retained because of the lack of a consistent level of success over his 7 year tenure. Coach Miles guided the Huskers to a 19-17 record in 2018-19, and finished his Nebraska career with a 116-114 record in his seven seasons at the helm. He coached the Huskers to one NCAA Tournament appearance (2014) and two trips to the NIT (2018, 2019). Miles helped Nebraska to a pair of fourth-place finishes in the Big Ten Conference, but the Huskers finished 10th or lower in the league standings five times.
