New | The state basketball tournament can feel like a time warp. It’s a three-day sprint, mixed with moments that seem to stand still. I spent the day on Saturday with Elkhorn North. From film, to the bus, to the postgame locker room. #nebpreps Read: open.substack.com/pub/bigelow/p/…

Big Game Willy’s biggest big game game story yet.

Nebraska thoroughly, definitively buried its past in Oklahoma City. A raucous crowd guided the Huskers. A furious, emotional performance hammered the point home: this year, this team is different. A new era is underway. #tracking-source=home-top-story" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">omaha.com/sports/huskers…

Continued - Defensively it’s a lot of up pressure with Washington at the rim. - Expect it to be high scoring and Nebraska will have to rebound well to have a chance

Asked an assistant coach who faced Vandy early in the season for a scout on the Commodores. Here’s what he told me. - Tyler Tanner & Duke Miles are special on defense. - Backcourt ball security will be key - Tyler Nickal is a special shooter. - They can shoot 1-5 at all times

THE DROUGHT IS OVER! @HuskerMBB has their first NCAA Tournament victory.

This makes my heart happy. Lots and lots of familiar faces, and old friends were in the building today. Felt like a big family reunion.

The storyline died on a Thursday afternoon. Quick story with a lot more to come from OKC: #tracking-source=home-top-story?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter_OWHsports" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">omaha.com/sports/huskers…

Smiling from ear to ear. As a matter of fact, don’t know if I’ve ever smiled bigger.

Final: Nebraska 76, Troy 47 Nebraska won a tournament game. It happened.

Nebraska picks up the first NCAA Tournament win in program history. An incredible story. Plays the winner of Vanderbilt vs. McNeese tomorrow.

SOME DAY IS TODAY.

GBR‼️🥹 @HuskerMBB

Jerry Bush coached Nebraska to a win over Wilt Chamberlain and KU in 1958. 68 years later, Bush’s grandson Fred Hoiberg coaches Nebraska to the first NCAA Tournament win in school history with his son Sam on the roster. Nebraska basketball royalty.

Nate Loenser has been standing up and active on every Nebraska defensive possession this half. Even with the Huskers up by double-digits the entire half. That dude is all energy.

I told like 5 or 6 different people, including @JackMitchellLNK and @JohnnyLiesveld that I love them at halftime. I’m sure that number will only increase exponentially throughout the rest of the day.

Guys. Nebraska is up by 30 in an NCAA tournament game. This is not a drill.

Sure is, @payton_20_ 💸
