    BIG 10 SQUAD: Big 10 Basketball Coming Down to the WIRE | How Does Nebraska Stack Up?

    UCLA Basketball implodes as Mick Cronin ejects his own player and clashes with media, sparking debate about his future. Is Cronin’s fiery approach wearing thin, and did UCLA make a costly mistake by extending his contract? Locked On Big Ten Squad tackles Cronin’s meltdown, comparing his antics with Tom Izzo and Matt Painter’s leadership styles, and questions whether postgame outbursts are damaging UCLA’s reputation. The conversation heats up as ESPN rumors swirl about Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State potentially leaving the Big Ten to cash in on their own alliances. Hosts weigh the risks, benefits, and scheduling headaches of a league without its top brands, while panelists analyze Pat Fitzgerald’s impact at Michigan State and debate whether his hiring truly deserves “worst of the cycle” status. Don’t miss candid insights on Big Ten football’s wild future and the turbulent coaching carousel. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    More juice for Iowa-Nebraska rivalry? You got it after this week

    Wednesday delivered more reaction to Nebraska-Iowa basketball game, a five-point win for the Hawkeyes followed by an altercation between an Iowa fan and Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg. For that, Hoiberg wound up featured by TMZ. Iowa apologized for the postgame incident. The Big Ten issued a statement. It was a whole thing. And in the big picture, it just means that the rivalry between Iowa and Nebraska continues to gain legitimacy and vitriol. That we can get behind. Will the hard feelings carry over the March 8, when Iowa visits Lincoln? Probably, yes. Great. Be loud. Just don’t throw anything – or you might get banned for life from Nebraska athletics, like a fan who acted stupidly this month at the Purdue-Nebraska game at PBA. Nebraska football announced its special teams coaching lineup. We’re talking about the specialists as spring practice looms. And we preview the weekend for Nebraska baseball and softball. Join us.

    A big, red flag? Nebraska basketball goes down at Iowa

    The Nebraska basketball team was beaten on Iowa’s terms Tuesday night. The Huskers failed to match the Hawkeyes on the glass. Nebraska struggled with its shot. And it lost for the first time to an unranked opponent in this 2025-26 season, 57-52 at a hyped up Carver-Hawkeye Arena. So the Huskers have dropped four of its past six. Still, though, they’re 22-4, with a winnable stretch of games ahead over the next week.  What should we read into Tuesday? Is the recipe now known to beat this Fred Hoiberg-coached squad? Also, we continue with our preview of Nebraska’s spring football season. On Wednesday, we’re looking at the secondary. Andrew Marshall returns to lead this group. But who’s next up on the list after the Huskers’ top cornerback? Join us as we look ahead to the return on Thursday of Matt Rhule to the interview podium.

    Nebraska football and the Big 12 conversation that will never just go away

    It’s Tuesday at the Locked On Nebraska podcast, and we’re talking about the Big 12. Why?!? Well, because Bill Moos – the former athletic director who wrote a book – uncovered old wounds and revisited the topic. Should Nebraska have jumped at the chance to return to its former league when the window was apparently open five years ago? Connor and Mitch have strong thoughts on this. And we’re here to share them with you. Also, our spring football preview continues with a look at the Nebraska linebackers. Who stands to lead this group in 2026? Can the Huskers improve here, despite losing their top defender from a year ago? Is Vincent Shavers ready to be a star? And how will Rob Aurich mesh his teachings with the work of linebackers coach Rob Dvoracek? We’re also evaluating the opening weekend for Nebraska baseball and peering ahead to Tuesday night as Nebraska basketball visits Iowa in a big game for postseason positioning.

    Nebraska football: Why it's OK to believe in the Huskers’ D-line this year

    It’s Monday. It feels like spring. And we’re talking about spring football at Nebraska, which starts on Saturday. Today, it’s the defensive line, which was on the wrong end of obscene rushing numbers in 2025. Nebraska opponents gained more than 4.8 yards per carry. Rob Aurich is here to fix that. But does he have the right pieces – without a star-studded haul in the transfer portal? Connor and Mitch are optimistic. And we’re here to explain.  Nebraska basketball rolled to another victory on Saturday. Well, it stalled and sputtered for a while, then put its collective foot on the gas. Thanks to a turbo-charged engine of a point guard. What honors should Sam Hoiberg win as a result of his play this season? He deserves something. Nebraska softball produced another landmark victory on Sunday. And the Nebraska baseball team started the season on a strong note in Arizona. We dig into all of it. Join us.

    Nebraska football mailbag: Nine predictions that could elevate the Huskers in 2026

    We made it to Friday, which means it’s time for a mailbag. Thanks for all of your questions, even those that take us five minutes to read. We’re starting with a question about Bill Moos’ book. Does it actually make Matt Rhule look good? We have hot takes on the 2026 Huskers. Who’s going to break out among overlooked pass catchers?  You’re asking about the viability of Iowa State and throwing Rutgers out of the Big Ten. Does Nebraska basketball need to do something drastic to find help in the paint? When are people going to get excited about college baseball, which begins today? And our friend Vince recounts his history with Roger Craig and how the new Pro Football Hall of Famer sparked his passion for Nebraska football. Join us and enjoy the weekend.

Discussions spotlight key matchups like Penn State-Michigan, Michigan’s West Coast woes, coordinator shake-ups for Oregon, and which team is poised to break into the top tier. With heated takes and bold predictions, this is your go-to preview for the Big Ten’s race to the championship. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Nebraska football: One position group that means everything to the Huskers in 2026

    It’s Thursday at the Locked On Nebraska podcast. We continue with our spring football preview series, looking in depth at the Huskers’ offensive line. Will it be as simple as Justin Evans, Elijah Pritchett and the three Power 4 transfers? Connor and Mitch say no. What’s the key for this group, under the new direction of Geep Wade, and how important is the O-line to the overall success of Dana Holgorsen’s unit?  The Nebraska athletic department entered the conversation about objects flying out of the seats at PInnacle Bank Arena late in the Huskers’ Tuesday night OT loss against Purdue. Whatever you do at a basketball game, Nebraska fans, don’t think anything on the court. We’re looking also at the season-opening weekend for Nebraska baseball and weekend No. 2 for Nebraska softball. Both teams are on the road, on TV and matched against top competition. Everydayer Club   If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
