Just because the spring letter-of-intent period ended eight days ago, don't assume the Nebraska men's basketball staff is done combing the globe for players for the coming season. Tim Miles and his assistants met Wednesday to discuss five new potential recruits. Preliminary research and background checking eliminated three of the five.

Big Husker rally falls one run short at Big Ten tourney
Had Pat Kelly's game-ending line drive been a couple of inches higher or maybe a few feet wider, Nebraska may not be staring at such a daunting and taxing path to a Big Ten tournament championship. But Kelly hit it right at Michigan State's best defender, an All-Big Ten second baseman who was playing a few steps closer to first base than normal because there were two strikes and NU's hitters had been targeting right field all game long.

Pepin hoping NU qualifies large group for championships
Nebraska track and field coach Gary Pepin isn’t exactly the biggest fan of NCAA Regional meets. “Oh, I’m totally opposed to them,” he said Tuesday. He’d rather the NCAA picked qualifiers for its outdoor championships on the strength of their performances during the season. Only men’s decathletes and women’s heptathletes are selected that way.

Notes: Small crowd is not a bother to Nebraska
There was a boisterous Michigan State fan who began shouting words of encouragement toward the Spartan baseball team from his seat behind home plate late in MSU's 10-9 win over Nebraska. If you were seated in the outfield, you probably would have heard every single word.

Huskers ‘perfect' match for lineman
All John Garrison could do was ask. The Nebraska assistant offensive line coach made contact with 6-foot-5, 290-pound Dan Samuelson last week, letting the three-star lineman from Plymouth, Ind., know the Huskers were very interested in him, even though Samuelson committed to Pittsburgh in April.

NU faces must-win in tourney opener
Nebraska junior Richard Stock doesn't know the exact structure of the double elimination Big Ten tournament bracket because, at this point, he said it's irrelevant. Stay focused. One game at a time. Don't look past the first opponent. The sports clichés that echo with drone-like repetitiveness in press conferences actually have true application for the No. 4 seed Huskers this week.
