    Same Old Issues: Nebraska Falls to Purdue in OT + Spring Game Announced | Bleav in Nebraska

    Husker Nation, welcome in to another episode of the Bleav in Nebraska Podcast — I’m your host Bryan Colbert Jr. We open with Nebraska hoops suffering another tough loss to a ranked opponent — an overtime loss to Purdue — and the frustrating part is the same themes we’ve been calling out all season showed up again: a slow start, losing the rebounding battle, foul trouble, and not getting to the free-throw line enough. Nebraska did fight back in the second half to force OT, but once you get to overtime, the margin is thin — and Purdue won the glass when it mattered most. We also talk about Rienk Mast fouling out, why it hurt, and how Nebraska’s lack of size in the paint keeps getting exposed. With only seven games left, it’s officially cleanup time — because these mistakes can’t keep repeating. Then we shift to Husker football as Nebraska announces the Spring Game will be in March and tickets are officially on sale — we’ll hit what that means for fans and the early storylines heading into spring ball. To close the show, we bring back one of your favorite segments: Bleav It or Not — will Anthony Colandrea win the starting QB job in 2026? ESPN’s projection has him starting the opener, but Nebraska’s QB battle with TJ Lateef is going to be one of the biggest storylines of the offseason.

    Nebraska Basketball Cracks the Top 5 at 20–0 + Top-Five Showdown at No. 3 Michigan PREVIEW | Bleav in Nebraska

    HUSKER NATION… WELCOME IN to another episode of the Bleav in Nebraska Podcast — I’m your host Bryan Colbert Jr., and we’ve got MAJOR news tonight. Men’s Hoops: Nebraska is TOP FIVE (20–0!) It finally happened — Nebraska men’s basketball has officially cracked the Top 5 after starting the season 20–0, climbing to a program-best No. 5 in the AP Poll. We spend time on what this means for the program, why this run feels different, and how Nebraska’s identity has been built in real time: Second-half execution Shot-making in big moments Defending without panic We also revisit the last big win from this week: Nebraska’s 76–57 road win at Minnesota, powered by a monster second half and a two-way statement from Pryce Sandfort (22 points, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks) — including 20 of his points after halftime. That game was another reminder that Nebraska can win away from Lincoln and still control the terms. The moment is HERE: No. 5 Nebraska vs No. 3 Michigan And now… the game we’ve been waiting for. Top-five showdown. Big Ten supremacy on the line. Nebraska heads to Ann Arbor to face No. 3 Michigan — a measuring-stick game that can define the national perception of this team and the trajectory of the season. We break down what Nebraska has to do to keep making history and how the Huskers can win this game on the road in one of the toughest environments they’ll see all year. Women’s Hoops: Bounce-back win matters We also hit a quick but important women’s hoops update: Nebraska dropped a tight one at Wisconsin 63–60 Then responded the right way with an 81–75 home win over Illinois, led by Britt Prince (20 points) That Illinois win matters because it kept Nebraska from spiraling after a tough road loss — you protected home floor, stabilized, and kept momentum intact. Football: Recruiting + roster lens Then we pivot to football with a recruiting storyline fans can actually see: 2027 QB commit Trae Taylor is transferring to Millard South for his senior year 2027 Nebraska WR commit Antayvious Ellis is also making the move It’s a real “pipeline” headline — and it keeps Millard South in the spotlight as Nebraska builds the future in-state. We also keep the portal talk clean and responsible: the roster is close to set, now it’s about development, fit, and turning recruiting momentum into a clear on-field identity heading into 2026. Close / Tease So that’s the last six days: men’s hoops to No. 5 and headed into a top-five showdown, women’s hoops with a bounce-back win, and football with a recruiting headline that’s turning Millard South into must-watch territory.

    Nebraska vs Washington Pregame Show: 18–0 Huskers, 3 Keys to Win + Stopping the Huskies BIG Freshman| Bleav in Nebraska

    WELCOME IN HUSKER NATION to another episode of the Bleav in Nebraska Podcast — I’m your host Bryan Colbert Jr., and this is your Nebraska Basketball Pregame Show! The 18–0 Huskers are back home tonight at Pinnacle Bank Arena getting set to take on a 10–8 Washington team that’s been up and down in Big Ten play — but don’t get it twisted: the Huskies have a physical frontcourt and a freshman star who can turn this into a grind if Nebraska isn’t sharp early. Top Storyline Everyone expects Nebraska’s historic run to continue… but Washington brings a “Big Ten-style” toughness, and if Nebraska lets them hang around, this game can get uncomfortable late. That’s why tonight is about starting strong, defending with purpose, and dictating tempo. BC’s 3 Keys to Victory 1) GET OFF TO A FAST START Nebraska has been an elite second-half team — but if this group wants to level up, it has to stop letting teams breathe early. Find the shooters, make shots, and keep that defense locked in. If Nebraska builds an early lead, Washington doesn’t have the firepower to chase it. 2) SLOW DOWN THEIR STAR FRESHMAN: HANNES STEINBACH Steinbach has been Washington’s bright spot — a legit double-double threat who can score and rebound at a high level. This is a major test for Nebraska’s interior, and a matchup that should bring out the best in Rienk Mast. The goal: keep Steinbach out of easy post touches, make him finish over bodies, and dare him into the kinds of perimeter looks you can live with. 3) PROTECT THE BASKETBALL Great teams value possessions — and Nebraska’s identity is built on clean offense, low turnovers, and turning teams over on the other end. If Nebraska takes care of the ball and forces Washington into mistakes, the shot volume and shot quality will tilt hard toward the Huskers.

    Nebraska Jumps to No. 7 After Northwestern Win (18–0!) + Nebrask Football Defensive Staff Hires | Bleav in Nebraska

    WELCOME IN, HUSKER NATION! On today’s episode of Bleav in Nebraska, we’re keeping it tight and current with everything that’s happened since last Thursday — and we start with the headline the whole country is finally screaming: NEBRASKA IS UP TO A PROGRAM-BEST NO. 7 IN THE AP TOP 25. That jump comes right after a dominant road win at Northwestern where the Huskers handled business from start to finish. Husker Heat Check: Nebraska stays PERFECT Nebraska crushed Northwestern 77–58 to move to 18–0 overall and 7–0 in Big Ten play — and it didn’t feel fluky or fragile. It felt controlled. Pryce Sandfort: 20 points Braden Frager: 20 points Sam Hoiberg: 12 points + 7 boards The biggest takeaway? 18–0 isn’t just historic — it’s starting to look repeatable. This team is showing week-to-week consistency, toughness, and the ability to win games without needing a miracle finish. Football: Staff hires + QB competition vibes Then we pivot to football as Matt Rhule continues the build toward 2026 with official defensive staff moves: Corey Brown hired as defensive line coach Miles Taylor hired as safeties coach This is the foundation phase — if Nebraska gets stronger in the trenches and cleaner on the back end, everything else gets easier. And we close with a big QB note: Anthony Colandrea (new transfer QB) toured the football facilities — and the important part isn’t just the visit, it’s what it represents: real QB competition and a clear signal that Nebraska is serious about upgrading the room and raising the floor heading into next season. We’ll keep tracking what these staff hires mean for recruiting momentum and what the defensive identity looks like as this roster continues to take shape.

    Dylan Raiola to Oregon + Dante Moore Returning | Nebraska Hoops 17–0 After 90–55 Oregon Win | Bleav in Nebraska

    Husker Nation… welcome in! We’ve got a packed, current episode with ONLY the latest news since Monday — and it starts with the biggest football domino of the week: Dylan Raiola is reportedly transferring to Oregon. We react in real time to what that means for Dylan, what it means for Nebraska’s immediate future, and how quickly the landscape shifts when the portal news hits. And almost right behind it came another major twist: Oregon’s CFP starting QB is returning — which changes the entire context of the move and sparks the obvious question: what does the timeline and path look like now? From there, we hit Nebraska’s newest roster notes and portal updates: QB Daniel Kaelin returning to Nebraska — what this does for the QB room and why it matters right now Towson safety Jasin Siggs joins the picture — a proven, productive DB with real versatility (box, slot, free safety) and strong production across two seasons What Nebraska still needs most as this roster continues to take shape for 2026 Then we pivot to the best part: Husker hoops is STILL unbeaten. No. 8 Nebraska demolished Oregon 90–55 to move to 17–0, and it wasn’t subtle — Nebraska hit a season-high 17 threes, controlled the pace, and looked every bit like a true top-10 team when the offense is humming and the defense stays locked in. Pryce Sandfort (28) and Braden Frager (23) combined for 51 — both dropping 7 threes in a shooting clinic. We close with a quick look-ahead to Nebraska vs Northwestern on Saturday, and we’ll tease a full pregame show — because Northwestern is still hunting for its first Big Ten win, and Nebraska has to keep stacking clean performances if this historic start is going to keep building. #Huskers #HuskerFootball #NebraskaBasketball #TransferPortal #BigTen #BleavInNebraska Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
