    Shooting woes sink Huskers
    Nebraska went stone cold in the second half Sunday in falling to Minnesota 69-61 in Big Ten men's basketball. The Huskers, who led 33-32 at halftime, missed 14 of their first 16 shots after the break and went without a field goal for 7:33. Minnesota (17-7, 5-6) used a 16-4 splurge during the NU cold snap to go up 48-39 with 8:06 to play. Nebraska (11-11, 3-8) never got closer than six points the rest of the way. »

Whatever Meyer did in those first hours and days after he took the job and how he closed OSU's class — seizing it from the ashes — set some of the league's contenders on edge. Nebraska coach Bo Pelini is no fan of recruiting hoopla, but he doesn't stoop to carp about it or Meyer, and maybe years of recruiting in the SEC and Big 12 — a sneakier, snakier league by a mile — have...

Pelini's voice was filled with passion when he said it. There was a focus to it. The focus of a man ready to take it to the next level? This was Thursday, the day after signing day. I had arranged to meet Pelini in his office after his daily workout and before he headed into an offensive staff meeting. He had agreed to squeeze in 15 minutes to talk about where Nebraska football is headed.
