2 2 HUSKERS.COM SCOUTING THE RETRIEVERS UMBC comes into Tuesday s matchup with a 5-5 record that includes five road games already this season. The Retrievers, who returned four starters from last season, have won at Quinnipiac and Columbia, but in their lone trip so far to a major conference foe, fell to nationally ranked Pittsburgh, In their last outing, the Retrievers dropped a home contest to American, falling by a mark. Forward Darryl Proctor scored 22 points and added 11 rebounds for UMBC, but American s Garrison Carr was nearly unstoppable as he went off for 34 points on 10-of-18 shooting, including hitting 8-of-15 from 3-point range. As a team, the Retrievers are averaging 66.7 points per game but have allowed 67.3 per contest. UMBC is hitting 45.1 percent from the field and has gotten to the free throw line an average of 19.1 times per game (70.2 percent). Proctor is the team s scoring leader, averaging a solid 17.8 points per game on 45.7 percent shooting. He also paces the squad with 8.7 rebounds per game and 14 steals. Last year, he was a first-team all-conference selection after ranking second in the league in rebounding (8.4 prg), and he paced the team with 60 steals. UMBC s effective front line is led by the 6-4 Proctor, but he is not the only player to provide solid minutes. Along with Proctor, 6-9 Justin Fry and 6-7 Rich Flemming are strong on both ends of the floor and the trio accounts for more than 52 percent of the team s scoring and 53 percent of the team s rebounds. UMBC s other returning first-team allconference player, Jay Greene, is a talented guard who has improved his scoring this season. Last year, Greene was fourth in the country in assists (7.2 apg) and helped UMBC lead the nation in assist-to-turnover margin (3.47). He is right back at it this year, averaging 6.7 assists per game in and is now averaging 13.2 points per contest to rank second on the squad. Greene, Proctor and Fry join Matt Spadafora as returning starters for the Retrievers, who went 24-9 last season and won the America East championship. UMBC earned the league s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament where it lost to Georgetown in the first round. UMBC s starting five have been iron men, as all five average at least 27 minutes per game this season. Those five, along with sixth-man Chauncey Gilliam, have combined to play 1,924 of the team s 2,000 minutes this season. UMBC is led by coach Randy Monroe (Cheney, 1987), who is in his fifth year guiding the Retrievers. Monroe owns a career record, all with UMBC over the past five seasons.

No other league squad is holding opponents below 60.0 points per contest. Nebraska ranked sixth nationally last week in scoring defense, trailing only Washington State (48.7 ppg), Northwestern (49.4), Ohio State (50.3), San Jose State (53.3) and UC Riverside (54.3). Official NCAA stats are released each Monday afternoon. Despite struggling at the line Saturday against IPFW, the Huskers are hitting 70.4 percent from the free throw stripe this season. Nebraska has shot 70.0 percent from the line for a whole season just twice in the Big 12 era, including (71.3 percent), coach Doc Sadler s first season on the sideline. Senior Steve Harley ranked 39th nationally last week in free throw percentage. He is currently third in the Big 12 by hitting 85.2 percent (23-of-27) from the free throw line. Nebraska ranked 11th nationally in turnover margin last week. The Huskers have caused 172 turnovers (19.1 turnovers per game) while posting 115 (12.8 tpg) miscues itself over nine games, a margin of +6.33, which ranks second in the Big 12 Conference. Nebraska has struggled at times scoring this season as NU has averaged 64.3 points per game. The Huskers have topped 70 points just three times in nine games, although they have posted their top two point totals in the last two home games. NU has forced 172 turnovers (19.1 per game) through nine contests while allowing just 80 assists on 155 made baskets. Nebraska has 122 assists on 203 baskets but has committed 115 turnovers (12.8 per game). The Huskers had just six turnovers in the game against Saint Louis. It tied the lowest total by Nebraska under coach Doc Sadler. Nebraska posted 11 turnovers at Oregon State, marking the eighth time under coach Doc Sadler that NU had 11 or fewer turnovers in a road game. Nebraska outrebounded Alabama State 35-28, the third time this season NU gained an advantage on the glass. The +7 rebounding margin against Alabama State was a season high. The -15 (40-25) rebound margin at Oregon State was a Husker season low. With the victory over Alabama State on Dec. 3, Nebraska improved to 6-0 to open a season for only the second time in the Big 12 era (also ). Seven Huskers are averaging at least 1.0 steal per game. Cookie Miller leads the way with 15 steals, while three others have at least 12 steals apiece. Sek Henry has been proficient with the basketball, hitting a team-best 57.4 percent from the field, including a solid 47.4 percent from 3-point range. Redshirt freshman Toney McCray has been a key performer this season for Nebraska as he ranks third in scoring and leads the team in rebounding and blocked shots. McCray has nine blocked shots this season and needs only four more to move into the Nebraska freshman top 10. John Turek and Venson Hamilton share the NU freshman record with 39 blocks in their rookie campaigns. Paul Velander ranks among the top 20 nationally by hitting 51.1 percent from 3-point NEBRASKA SCHEDULE Date Opponent Time/Result Nov. 7 Chadron State (exh.)... W, McCray led team in pts. (18), reb.

Cookie Miller leads the team with 37 assists against 16 turnovers this season. He is looking to become the first Husker to lead NU in assists as a freshman and sophomore since Tyronn Lue did it in and Miller helped the team post a season-best 23 assists on 30 baskets against Alabama State. Miller had six assists with two turnovers while Ryan Anderson led the team with a career-best seven assists without a turnover. Four Huskers had at least three assists apiece against the Hornets. HUSKERS ROLL UP WINS AT HOME When coach Doc Sadler took over the program before the season, Nebraska made winning at home a priority. Since then, the Huskers have yet to lose to a non-conference opponent at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. When adding in the Huskers home game against Oregon at the Qwest Center in Omaha (considered a home contest due to RPI standards by NCAA), the Huskers have won 31 straight games against non-conference teams. Nebraska tied the school record for consecutive wins against non-conference teams with its 31st straight in a victory over IPFW. Nebraska is 26-0 under Coach Doc Sadler at home against non-conference opponents. The Huskers have defeated teams from 10 different conferences, along with teams that were independent at the time. Nebraska s last home loss to a nonconference team came on Dec. 3, 2005 against UAB in a setback. During the streak, Nebraska has had just one game decided by five or fewer points (twopoint win over Creighton this year) and one other decided in overtime (win over Oregon at Qwest Center).

George Washington 28 games BOMBS AWAY Nebraska had hit at a solid percentage from 3-point range in its first five games, but NU took it to a whole new level against Alabama State. Nebraska hit an impressive 14-of-25 (56.0 percent) from beyond the arc against the Hornets. NU only connected on 51.7 percent (30-of-58) from the floor overall. The 14 3-pointers were the most by the Huskers since hitting 15 against Miami on the road in the season. The school record is 18 3-pointers against No. 1 Kansas in Six Huskers hit from outside the arc, including four players with three 3-pointers apiece. Sek Henry led the way with a perfect 3-for-3 night beyond the arc while Ryan Anderson (3-of-4), Steve Harley (3-of-5) and Paul Velander (3-of- 6) each had three treys apiece. Amazingly on a night when all the 3s were falling, Velander made his first two attempts from inside the arc, missing both. Velander s first 26 attempts from the field this season were 3-point attempts until a missed jumper in the first half against Alabama State. Entering the midweek matchup, he is now 0-of-3 from inside the arc and 24-of-47 outside it. Since that outburst, Nebraska hit 13-of- 40 (32.5 percent) from beyond the arc in its next two games before draining 8-of-15 (53.3 percent) against IPFW. DEFENSE AMONG NCAA S BEST Nebraska is among the Big 12 and national leaders in several defensive categories in Nebraska leads the Big 12 in scoring defense at 53.9 points per game. Through Sunday, Dec. 21, Texas was second in the league, allowing opponents 60.6 points per game.

5 NEBRASKA BASKETBALL 5 Nebraska entered last weekend ranked 38th nationally and first in the conference in fieldgoal percentage defense. The highest fieldgoal percentage allowed by NU this season was 46.5 percent by Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Six of NU s first nine opponents have been held under 40.0 percent from the field. The Huskers have allowed teams to hit just 28.2 percent from 3-point range, an average that ranked 20th nationally last week. NU has held three teams under 20.0 percent shooting from beyond the arc this season. FEW AND FAR BETWEEN Under Coach Doc Sadler, the Huskers have gained a reputation as one of the toughest defensive teams in the rugged Big 12 Conference, which in turns makes NU one of the best defensive teams in the nation. This season, Sadler s Huskers are opening the year at a level rarely seen. Through nine games, the Huskers are allowing just 53.9 points per game and have not allowed an opponent to reach 65 points. The Huskers opened the year by posting the longest streak without allowing a team to reach 65 points since the Nebraska squad did not allow an opponent to reach 65 points through the first 11 games of the season. Only once in the 3-point era ( ) has Nebraska held every non-conference team below 65 points. Nebraska held each of its first six opponents to fewer than 58 points. The last time NU held opponents to less than 60 points over the first six games of the year was the start of the season. The last time the Huskers held consecutive opponents to fewer than 60 points in any stretch of at least six games was the seven contests between games 12 through 18 of the season. That was a streak of 820 games before it was matched starting this season. HARLEY STARTING TO REV UP Guard Steve Harley came on strong at the end of last season when he was named to the Big 12 All-Newcomer Team by the league's sportswriters for his play in league action. Over the final 12 league games and the postseason, Harley assumed a lead role in the Husker offense in , ranking second on the team with 11.0 points per game as he hit 45 percent from the floor including nearly 43 percent from 3-point range. He shot better than 78 percent from the charity stripe in that stretch. This year he is picking up where he left off as he tries to guide the Huskers to their second straight postseason berth. Harley is currently leading the team with 13.6 points per game, an average that entered the week ranked 19th in the Big 12 Conference. Harley set a career high with 21 points on 9- of-15 shooting against IPFW. It was his second career 20-point performance and the Huskers' first this year. He has hit 47.9 percent from the floor, and has been one of the most aggressive Huskers getting to the basket, as he is second on the team with 27 trips to the free throw line (24 made free throws, 3rd in league in free throw percentage at 85.2). Harley is also averaging 3.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game. Over his last six games, Harley has averaged 15.2 points per contest. During that stretch he has hit 50.7 percent from the field and 88.2 percent from the charity stripe. After opening the season hitting just 4-of- 13 shots over the first two games, Harley has since knocked down 41-of-81 (50.6 percent) in the past seven games. Harley set a career high against Creighton with 16 field-goal attempts, making eight (one off career high). Harley has tied his career high for rebounds twice this season, posting six against San Jose State in the season opener and again in the come-from-behind win over Creighton. Harley had just one assist against Creighton, but it was the biggest one of the game. With the contest tied at 52-52, Nebraska had the ball with the shot clock off. Coach Doc Sadler drew up a play for Harley as the first scoring option. As he drove the lane to the basket, CU hedged to the middle and Harley made a nice wrap-around pass to Ade Dagunduro, who had an uncontested layup for the game-winning basket with 2.7 seconds remaining. He is the only Husker averaging more than 26 minutes per game, as he has played 29.8 minutes per contest. HOT HENRY After a strong offseason, Sek Henry entered his junior season on a tear while helping the Huskers to six straight wins to open a season for just the second time in the Big 12 era. Through nine games, Henry is one of five players averaging at least 8.0 points per game. Henry posted 19 points against Saint Louis, one off his career high and the most points he has scored at home in the Devaney Center. MISCELLANEOUS STATISTICS Bench Scoring Nebraska...

Henry scored in double figures just five times last year and four times as a freshman. Henry scored 46 points (11.5 ppg) to open the first four games of the season, the secondbest, four-game scoring stretch of his career. As a freshman, he posted 56 points (14 ppg) over four games to end the non-conference schedule. Henry has hit 27-of-47 shots (57.4 percent) from the field, including 9-of-19 (47.4 percent) from 3-point range. His career averages entering this season were 36.7 percent shooting and 26.4 percent from beyond the arc. Henry has twice this season tied his career high with four steals in a game. He is currently second on the team with 14 steals. Being aggressive is in Henry s nature on the court and it is showing this year. Although he has hit just 45.0 percent from the free throw line, he has done a nice job getting to the stripe as he one of only three players with at least 20 attempts from the line. DAGUNDURO GETTING ON TRACK After a sluggish start to the season, senior guard Ade Dagunduro has begun to turn up the intensity on both ends of the court. One of the most athletic players in the Big 12 Conference, Dagunduro has brought his scoring average up to a modest 8.3 points per game after scoring just six points in the first two contests of the year. The biggest points of the season for Dagunduro came in the final seconds of a comeback victory over Creighton. The Inglewood, Calif., native got free on the right block when his defender hedged to the middle of the lane as Steve Harley drove with the ball. Harley made a nice wrap-around pass right to Dagunduro, whose uncontested layup with 2.7 seconds remaining was the game-winning bucket. Dagunduro posted 14 points against Saint Louis and 11 points vs. Creighton in consecutive games. He hit 9-of-16 shots (56.2 percent) from the field in those contests after starting the season shooting 4-for-15 (26.7 percent) from the floor in the first three games. Last year, he recorded double figures in three straight games on only two occasions. After scoring just 11 points against Alabama State and Arizona State combined, Dagunduro posted a team-high 16 points at Oregon State and came back with 10 points against IPFW. Dagunduro has averaged 5.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game over the past three contests. Dagunduro s slow start this season is the exact opposite of last year, which could be a good thing for the Huskers in the long run. Dagunduro started on fire, averaging 11.8 points per game in non-conference play while hitting 54.8 percent from the field. In league action, he had 5.8 points per game while knocking down just 40.4 percent from the field. COMEBACK KIDS Nebraska not only picked up its second straight win in Lincoln over in-state foe Creighton on Nov. 29, but it also made for one of the more memorable comebacks by the Huskers since the formation of the Big 12 Conference. Nebraska s come-from-behind victory was keyed by a strong second-half performance from Steve Harley and Cookie Miller. Harley finished with a game-high 18 points with three steals and had the key assist on Ade Dagunduro s game-winning basket with 2.7 seconds remaining. Miller posted six assists and two steals and got the Huskers offense into high gear after trailing by 13 points at halftime. The 13-point deficit the Huskers overcame matched the largest comeback under Coach Doc Sadler. It also tied for the second-largest comeback by Nebraska during the Big 12 era, matching the 13-point deficit NU overcame at Texas Tech during Sadler s first season on the sideline. The largest deficit Nebraska has rebounded from to win since the formation of the Big 12 Conference was 20 points against Kansas State in the first year of the league ( ). KSU also had the biggest halftime lead that NU has overcome in the Big 12 era as the Wildcats led by 18 points at the break. Largest Nebraska Deficits Overcome to Win (Big 12 era only, since ) Deficit Year Opponent Overcome Kansas State 20 points Creighton 13 points at Texas Tech 13 points vs. UC Santa Barbara 12 points Texas A&M 12 points Baylor 11 points Oklahoma State 11 points Colorado 11 points Missouri 11 points Eastern Illinois 10 points Baylor 10 points Creighton (NIT game) 9 points GETTING DEFENSIVE Nebraska coach Doc Sadler has never had a problem getting his teams ready to play defense and the version of the Huskers seems to be no different.

7 NEBRASKA BASKETBALL 7 Through nine games, Nebraska is allowing just 53.9 points per contest as opponents have hit 37.6 percent from the field, including 28.2 percent from 3-point range. Nebraska has also forced 172 turnovers and collected 88 steals in nine contests. The Huskers have allowed 485 points in the first nine games of the year, the second straight year under Doc Sadler that NU has allowed fewer than 490 points in its first nine games. Nebraska has held its first nine opponents to fewer than 490 combined points to open a season just six times since NU s Fewest Points Allowed in First Nine Games (Since , beginning of Big Seven Conference) Year Points (Ppg) (49.9) (51.7) (52.8) (53.9) (53.9) (54.3) (55.3) (56.6) (56.7) (57.2) The Huskers have held three straight teams under 40.0 percent shooting in the Devaney Center, and six teams overall. Nebraska has forced at least 20 turnovers in a game five times this season, including each of the past two games (24 against OSU and IPFW). Nebraska held TCU to just 10 field goals in NU s first road game of the season. The 10 field goals allowed were the second-lowest by a Husker squad under Sadler, trailing only the nine baskets allowed at home by North Carolina Central last season. The 10 field goals by the Horned Frogs were the fewest by an opponent away from the Devaney Center since Centenary had 10 baskets to open the season at the Top of the World Classic in Fairbanks, Alaska. The 50 points scored by TCU marked the fewest Nebraska has allowed on the road since NU held Kansas State to 42 points in the first league road game of the campaign. In non-conference play, it was the fewest points a Husker squad has given up away from the Devaney Center since holding Centenary to 45 points in the first game of TCU's 50 points were also the fewest Nebraska has allowed in a true road opener since giving up just 49 points at Minnesota in the season. ENERGY GUYS Following the season-opening contest against San Jose State, Coach Doc Sadler praised several players for their energy and hustle, especially the ones off the bench. Leading the way that day was redshirt freshman Brandon Richardson, who posted six points, three rebounds, an assist and four steals in 16 minutes in his career debut. Richardson s numbers did not tell the whole story as he made several dives to the floor and other hustle plays to ignite NU in the second half after SJSU cut the lead from 18 points to five. His steal off an inbounds and three-point play turned the game around, helping NU score 10 points in less than a minute to pull away for good. Following Nebraska s game against IPFW, Sadler said: Brandon Richardson makes plays that don t show up on the box score. When we went to the for the first time (that night), he made two huge hustle plays. He does things that might give you three or four more possessions that you wouldn t otherwise get in a game. Richardson has continued to improve and gain confidence each time he hits the court. Against UAPB, he scored a season-high nine points and had two assists without a turnover in 23 minutes of action. Although he has had just four points in the past four games combined, he has posted seven steals and two assists in that span. Richardson has posted at least three steals in a game three times this year, and is third on the team with 13 steals. He needs 11 steals to move onto the Nebraska freshman top-10 list. Along with Richardson, senior Paul Velander has also been praised by Sadler for his energy coming off the bench, including following the Saint Louis game. In his postgame press conference that night, Sadler said: We ve got to get the rest of the team to make effort plays like Paul Velander. There s not a player in the country who makes more effort plays than that guy. Velander has hit 24 3-pointers in nine games, including seven games with three treys apiece. He is second on the team in scoring at 8.8 points per game. Velander leads the Big 12 Conference in 3- point percentage entering the week, as he has hit 51.1 percent from behind the arc. He also leads the team with 10 charges taken, including three against each San Jose State and Saint Louis. NOTING THE IPFW GAME Nebraska snapped a two-game losing streak with the victory over IPFW. The Huskers improved to 7-2 on the year, the third straight season Nebraska opened with at least seven wins in its first nine games. The win was Nebraska s 31st consecutive home non-conference victory, tying the Nebraska school record set between 1963 and It is the third streak of at least 30 straight non-conference home wins in program history. Head Coach Doc Sadler improved to a perfect 26-0 in home non-conference games in his NU career. Nebraska s last home non-conference loss came in a setback to UAB on Dec. 3, 2005, the season before Sadler took over. IPFW finished with 48 points, the ninth consecutive team this season Nebraska has held under 65 points. It was the second time this season NU held a team to less than 50 points. Steve Harley recorded a career-high 21 points. He hit 9-of-15 shots from the field and added two rebounds, an assist and a steal. His previous high was 20 points in a win over nationally ranked Kansas State at home last season. Cookie Miller recorded a season-high four steals and matched his season-high with six assists. He came off the bench in the first half but started the second half for the Huskers. Toney McCray set a career high with three 3-pointers. McCray finished with 11 points, his third double-figure scoring effort in four games. Nebraska was outrebounded by a margin, the third straight game the Huskers were outpaced on the glass. IPFW shot just 34.1 percent from the floor, marking the sixth time in nine games the Huskers held their opponent to under 40.0 percent shooting. Nebraska knocked down 60.9 percent (28-of-46) from the field, a season high. The Huskers hit 53.3 percent from 3-point range on the game. It was the second straight home game NU hit better than 50.0 percent from beyond the arc. NU had hit just 13-of-40 (32.5 percent) from 3-point range in the previous two games (both road losses). The Huskers had 12 steals as a team, marking the eighth time in nine games Nebraska recorded at least eight steals in a contest.

NU had six charges taken, each by a different individual, including one by Velander. TURNING IT OVER Nebraska will try to turn up the defensive pressure at times this season, especially while playing with a heavily guard-oriented lineup, including at times five guards on the floor at once. That strong defensive push was evident in NU s opener as they forced 25 San Jose State turnovers. Spartans point guard Justin Graham was frustrated into 10 turnovers while going 0- of-5 from the floor in 33 minutes of action. The 25 turnovers Nebraska forced in the season opener against San Jose State were the second-highest total under Coach Doc Sadler. The most turnovers a Husker squad has forced in Sadler s tenure is 26 last season against North Carolina Central. NU has now forced 172 turnovers through nine games, while allowing teams to record just 80 assists on 155 baskets. The Huskers have forced at least 20 turnovers in five games this year (25 vs. San Jose State; 23 vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff; 24 vs. Creighton; 24 at Oregon State; 24 vs. IPFW). Last year, the Huskers forced 20 turnovers in a game six times all season. The 24 turnovers forced at Oregon State are the most by a Husker opponent away from Lincoln since Texas Tech had 26 turnovers against Nebraska in the first round of the 1999 Big 12 Championship. Nebraska posted 16 steals in the defensive effort against San Jose State, the most by the Huskers under Sadler. The previous best under Sadler was 15 steals vs. North Texas in The Huskers have had double-figure steals in four times this season and at least eight steals in eight games this season. Eight Huskers have recorded a steal this year, including seven averaging at least 1.0 steal per game. The most steals in a game by a single Husker this season is four. Junior guard Sek Henry and redshirt freshman Brandon Richardson each had four steals apiece against San Jose State in the opener and Henry added four more against UAPB while Cookie Miller had four against IPFW. The defensive pressure has helped Nebraska to a advantage in points off turnovers this season. On the opposite end, Nebraska has been solid with the ball, averaging just 12.8 turnovers per game (opponents: 19.1 tpg). Nebraska posted just six turnovers against Saint Louis, tying the mark for fewest miscues in Sadler s first three years. NU also had just six turnovers against Colorado in The last time Nebraska had fewer than six turnovers was when NU set the school record with three turnovers at Iowa State in Nebraska had just three turnovers in the first half against Alabama State. NU s season low for a half was two turnovers in the second half against Saint Louis. ANDERSON, VELANDER AMONG HUSKERS MOST ACCURATE DUOS Ryan Anderson is not the only 3-point ace for the Huskers as senior guard Paul Velander has also proven to be one of the most accurate long-range shooters in Nebraska history. The only fifth-year player for the Huskers this season, Velander is ranked fifth in NU history for 3-point field-goal percentage at 40.7 percent (92-of-226) while coming off the bench in 68-of-69 contests. With another year similar to the last two (36 and 32 3-pointers, respectively), Velander will also have a shot to reach the Nebraska career top 10 in 3-pointers made. He leads the team with 24 3-pointers this season, including three 3s in each of seven games this season. 3-Point FG Pct. (min. 90 att.) 3FG 3PA Pct. 1.

Ray Richardson ( ) ANDERSON REACHES TOP 10 At 6-4, guard Ryan Anderson may be a little undersized to play in the front court, but he is one of the biggest players on the court when he steps outside the 3-point line. Anderson has made a living with the long ball in Lincoln, hitting 105 treys in his career to tie for ninth in Nebraska history. He is currently fourth on the squad this season with seven 3-pointers. Anderson s three 3-pointers against Alabama State marked the 14th time in his career he has had at least three treys in a single game.

9 NEBRASKA BASKETBALL 9 Anderson is the only Husker ever to post at least 48 treys in each of his first two years at Nebraska. Anderson ranks second on the NU freshman list with 48 3-pointers in and last year posted 50 treys to rank third on the Huskers' sophomore chart. Only Nebraska's all-time 3-point leader, Cary Cochran, made more shots from outside the arc by the end of his sophomore season, as Cochran had 101 through two years.

Ray Richardson ( ) MILLER READY TO ROLL Cookie Miller was the only true freshman to play for the Huskers last year when he posted near-record numbers for assists (109) and steals (58). This year, he is trying to take it a step higher as one of the top returning point guards in the Big 12 Conference. Miller ranked sixth in the league for assists per game (3.6) last year and was the only freshman to rank in the top 10 for assist-to-turnover ratio (1.7). He was fourth in the Big 12 for steals per game (1.93), and owned the top spot with 2.0 steals per game in Big 12-only contests. This season, Miller leads NU with 37 assists with just 16 turnovers and leads the team with 15 steals. Miller has averaged 8.0 points, 6.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals over the past two home games. He had one of his best games of the season against Alabama State, scoring a season-high nine points while tying his season highs with six assists and four rebounds in 25 minutes. It was the first game he started this season and the 25th start of his career. Miller came off the bench to efficiently guide the Husker offense in the second half of a comeback victory over Creighton. Miller had five assists and a steal in 15 minutes in the second half as Nebraska came back from 13 points down to earn the win. He finished with season highs in assists (6) and rebounds (4) while adding two steals in the win. Miller recorded four rebounds against Saint Louis, Creighton and Alabama State in consecutive games, tying his season high. Miller led the team in rebounding against Saint Louis, only the second time in his career he led the squad in boards. Last year, he tied three others for the team lead with four rebounds against Kansas at home. Former Husker great Cookie Belcher owns the Nebraska freshman record for steals with 87 and holds the NU and Big 12 Conference record with 253 steals in his career. Miller is trying to join Belcher and Erick Strickland as the only Huskers with at least 100 steals at the end of their sophomore seasons. Belcher had 162 in his first two years while Strickland had 107. Nebraska Career Steals (since 1978) 1.

In his first career game, the lanky 6-6, 205- pound scored game highs with 17 points and nine rebounds against San Jose State. McCray hit 6-of-15 shots from the floor in his career debut against the Spartans. He just missed becoming the first Husker freshman to record a double-double in his first career game since Aleks Maric accomplished the feat in McCray has scored in double figures in three of the last four games, boosting his scoring average to 8.7 points per game to rank third on the team. The rookie leads the team with 4.1 rebounds per game and nine blocked shots. McCray hit three 3-pointers against IPFW (3-of-5) after connecting on just 3-of point attempts in his first eight games of the season. McCray had nine points and five boards in the first road game of his career at TCU. He has shown he likes playing on the road as he added 13 points, seven rebounds and two steals at Oregon State. In his first game in front of a big crowd, McCray settled in nicely, posting six points, five SCHEDULE NOTES Nebraska faces a rugged schedule as it will play 13 of its 29 regular-season games against teams that reached the 2008 postseason. Eight of the 13 game against postseason teams will be played at the Devaney Center. Among the Huskers' opponents that reached last year's NCAA Tournament were: NCAA champion Kansas (twice), Elite Eight participant Texas, NCAA second-round qualifiers Kansas State (twice) and Texas A&M along with NCAA qualifiers Baylor, Oklahoma and UMBC. NU will also face Arizona State, Creighton, Alabama State and Oklahoma State, all of which played in the postseason NIT. The Huskers will play 18 regular-season games at the Devaney Center for the second straight season. Last year, the Huskers went 15-3 in the building with the only losses coming to eventual national champion Kansas and NCAA qualifier Baylor, along with an overtime setback to Missouri. Nebraska played its 500th game in the Bob Devaney Sports Center last season and will be gunning for its 400th win in building history in Through Dec. 20, the Huskers own a record in their 33rd season at the Devaney Center, good for an impressive.764 winning percentage. Nebraska will look to keep an outstanding home winning streak alive in as the Huskers' look for their 33rd straight winning season at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The Huskers have never had a losing season in the Devaney Center since the building opened for the campaign. The Huskers played three true road games during the non-conference slate, facing Arizona State in the Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series along with Oregon State and TCU. It was the sixth time in the Big 12 era that the Huskers played at least three true road games in non-league action and the first time since when Nebraska played at UAB, Marquette and Tennessee. The Huskers will be seen on television within the state at least 24 times during the season, including every road game for the second straight year. Every conference road game will be televised for the third consecutive season. The Huskers have averaged more than 13 televised contests (national, regional and local) each of the past seven years. Nebraska will be seen nationally at least eight times this season on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, FSN and CBS College Sports. More than 10 additional games will also be available around the country on satellite.

10 10 HUSKERS.COM HUSKERS SIGN FOUR FOR Third-year coach Doc Sadler announced Friday, Nov. 14, that a strong lineup of four talented athletes, including three standing 6-8 or taller, have signed National Letters of Intent to join the Nebraska basketball squad for the season. Among the signees are: 6-10, 220-pound center Vander Joaquim from Luanda, Angola; 6-8, 210-pound forward Christian Standhardinger from Munich, Germany; 6-9, 220-pound forward Brandon Ubel from Overland Park, Kan.; and 6-2, 175-pound point/shooting guard Rayes Gallegos from Jordan, Utah. I m excited about this class and what they can bring to Nebraska, Sadler said. When we go on the road, something we look for in addition to talent is character, and that has been a continued priority this year. I feel good about the way they will represent Nebraska. On the court, I feel they will help us continue to improve and compete for a Big 12 championship. Joaquim averaged 21.1 points and 16.8 rebounds per contest last year with 89 blocks. He was ranked the No. 12 high school center in the country by Scout.com (71st nationally overall) and No. 15 center by Rivals. com (115th nationally overall). Joaquim was tabbed the No. 2 power forward on the West Coast by Scout.com before moving to West Virginia to attend Mountain State Academy in Standhardinger was named the MVP of the NBBL in 2008 and in the final of the 2008 U19 German Championship, he scored 37 points and posted 12 rebounds. He also earned top scorer honors at the Europe s Best Junior Tournament in 2007 and was the MVP of the German Top 4 in Standhardinger also was a member of the German Junior National Team in 2007 and This season, Standhardinger has averaged 19.1 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.1 assists per game for his club team. Ubel is a skilled forward with a nice touch from outside who also possesses the ability to score off a number of post moves and mid-range jumpers. Last year as a junior, he helped Blue Valley West to the state tournament and his team won the Class 6A state title during his sophomore season. During the summer AAU circuit, Ubel averaged close to 20 points and eight rebounds per game for the Wedman Pumas. He owns a 4.1 grade-point average in high school and his sister, Kayla Ubel, is a sophomore on the NU track team. Gallegos came on during the summer AAU circuit when he averaged about 25 points per game. Gallegos was rated the No. 53 shooting guard in the country by Scouts.com and was tabbed the No. 7 shooting guard on the West Coast. Gallegos was the team s third-leading scorer at 10.5 points per game as a junior, helping the team to the state tournament. rebounds, three blocked shots and two steals in 23 minutes off the bench against Creighton. MCCRAY NAMED ROOKIE OF THE WEEK Nebraska redshirt freshman guard Toney McCray was named the Big 12 Rookie of the Week in a vote by league sportswriters on Monday, Nov. 17. McCray was honored alongside Oklahoma s Blake Griffin, who won the league s player-of-the-week award. The 6-6, 205-pounder from Missouri City, Texas, was the Huskers leading scorer and rebounder in both its exhibition win and the season-opening win over San Jose State. McCray, one of four Huskers who redshirted last year, quickly made his presence felt on the court as he posted a game-high 17 points against the Spartans. He also added a team-high nine rebounds, just missing out on becoming the first Husker since Aleks Maric to produce a double-double in his first career game. McCray added a steal and an assist in 23 minutes off the bench, helping the Huskers to a advantage in bench scoring. McCray is the second player in Coach Doc Sadler s three years to earn the league s rookieof-the-week award. Last year, guard Ade Dagunduro won the award on Dec. 17 for his effort in helping the Huskers defeat nationally ranked Oregon. Overall, McCray is the eighth Husker to win the league award. Only two players, Joe McCray and Kimani Ffriend, have won the rookie-of-the-week award more than once for the Huskers as each earned it two times in their first season in Lincoln. HUSKERS EARN AP VOTE The Huskers earned some early season recognition as they picked up a vote in the Associated Press poll on Monday, Dec. 1, The nod came following Nebraska s solid week that included a victory over Saint Louis and a win over in-state foe Creighton. NU lost its lone vote a week later after falling for the first time this season at No. 19 Arizona State. Last year, voters in the Associated Press poll also took notice following Nebraska s upset of No. 16 Oregon. The Huskers received two votes in the Dec. 17, 2007, poll, one of five Big 12 Conference teams either ranked or earning votes that week. NU has received votes once each year under Coach Doc Sadler with the first time coming in week two (Nov. 20) of the season after Nebraska defeated then-no. 20 Creighton. Just like this season, NU lost its votes the following week each time. Prior to Sadler s first season with Nebraska in , the last time NU received votes in the AP poll was Jan. 16, 2006, when Nebraska was 32nd with 18 points after defeating then- No. 12 Oklahoma a week before. NEW LINES DRAWN While the 3-point line moved back one foot from 19-9 to 20-9 for the first time in men s college basketball this season, Nebraska has not been effected as much as some teams around the country from beyond the arc. Nebraska is hitting 39.5 percent from beyond the arc to rank third in the Big 12 Conference. Last year, the Huskers hit 34.7 percent from 3-point range in their first nine games of the season. Senior Paul Velander has been more effective than ever despite stepping back further to shoot. He is hitting 51.1 percent (24- of-47) from beyond the arc to lead the Big 12 Conference. Nebraska s 3-point defense this year has been solid as opponents have hit just 28.2 percent (48-of-170) from beyond the arc. Last season, opponents hit 38.8 percent in NU s first nine games. Nebraska s 3-point percentage defense leads the Big 12 Conference. Baylor (29.5 percent) is the only other league team holding opponents below 30 percent from beyond the arc. Four of Nebraska s nine opponents have been held to five or fewer 3-pointers in a game, including three with three or fewer. ON THE GLASS The Huskers will put a small lineup on the floor just about every night this season, giving Coach Doc Sadler reason to be interested in Nebraska s rebounding, especially on the defensive end. All of NU s guards will need to be capable rebounders this season to keep the opposing team from getting easy baskets on second chances. NU has been solid at times this season on the glass, starting in the season opener. Despite facing a front line that featured players standing 6-7 and 6-9, the Huskers held a rebounding lead against San Jose State. Five Huskers collected at least four rebounds with 6-6 guard Toney McCray leading the way with nine. Through nine games, Nebraska trails on the glass by more than five rebounds per game (-5.1 rpg, 33.8 to 28.7). The Huskers outrebounded each of their first two opponents but then fell on the boards in three straight games by a combined 26 rebounds.

11 NEBRASKA BASKETBALL 11 Nebraska has trailed on the glass each of the past three games since outrebounding a much taller Alabama State squad by +7 boards, the Huskers largest rebounding margin of the season Redshirt freshman Toney McCray leads the team in rebounding, averaging 4.1 boards per game. McCray has collected at least five rebounds in four games, including a seasonhigh nine boards in the season opener. JONES TO HAVE SURGERY Coach Doc Sadler announced during his postgame press conference on Wednesday, Dec. 3, that Eshaunte Bear Jones is done playing this year because of a foot injury. He s finished as far as playing for this year, Sadler said. We wanted to try to get through the year because he s such a good offensive player and he has some size, but he s not going to be able to play anymore. On the year, Jones played in four contests, averaging 1.8 points and 1.3 rebounds per game. He played 16 minutes in the season opener and then 12 minutes, 13 and 5 over the next three games before sitting out against Creighton and Alabama State. An MRI on Tuesday, Dec. 2, solidified his plans for surgery. CHAPMAN TO TRANSFER Sophomore Alex Chapman announced on Tuesday, Dec. 16, that he will transfer from NU following the end of the fall semester. The forward from Canby, Ore., had not played in a game in his three semesters at Nebraska after suffering a knee injury that required surgery during the preseason each of the past two years. Despite sitting out because of injury, Chapman was the Huskers tallest eligible player this season. Freshman center Christopher Niemann, who stands 6-11, is ineligible to play this season because of an NCAA ruling. VELANDER NAMED LOWE S SENIOR CLASS CANDIDATE In mid-december, Nebraska senior guard Paul Velander was announced among 30 candidates for the Lowe s Senior CLASS Award, presented annually to an NCAA Division I student-athlete in nine sports. Based on criteria including character, achievements in the classroom and community and competition on the court, the award winners will be selected by national balloting of head basketball coaches, national media and college basketball fans. From each of the two lists of 30 nominees, a national media committee will select 10 finalists for the Lowe s Senior CLASS Award in February Lowe s, an official corporate partner of the NCAA, will present the winners with trophies during the weekends of the respective NCAA Men s and Women s Final Four. Velander is a two-year letterwinner under Coach Doc Sadler and is currently second on the Husker squad in scoring at 8.8 points per game. The Blacksburg, Va., native has averaged nearly three 3-pointers per game, as he paces the squad with 24 treys in nine contests. Velander has hit 24-of-47 (51.1 percent) from 3-point range this season to lead the Big 12 Conference in 3-point percentage and rank among the top 20 in the country. He is one of only three players in the league hitting better than 50 percent from long range. Velander is a two-time first-team academic All-Big 12 performer in the classroom and has earned Big 12 Commissioner s Honor Roll accolades four times. Last season he was also named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Honors Court for his achievements in the classroom. An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the CLASS Award was launched during the season to honor the attributes of college basketball seniors who remain committed to their university and pursue the many rewards that a senior season and complete college education brings. The list of basketball candidates includes a range of universities and conferences across the country. There are 30 male award candidates representing 27 schools and 14 conferences. The Big 12 Conference leads the way with five candidates. The women s award list includes 30 candidates from 18 conferences and the Big 12 Conference also landed the most candidates with five. The Lowe s Senior CLASS Award is in its eighth year for men s and women s basketball. Previous winners of the men s award include Juan Dixon of Maryland (2002), David West of Xavier (2003), Jameer Nelson of St. Joseph s (2004), Wayne Simien of Kansas (2005), J.J. Reddick of Duke (2006), Alando Tucker of Wisconsin (2007) and Shan Foster of Vanderbilt (2008).

20 HUSKERS.COM NEBRASKA GAME-BY-GAME NOTEBOOK (GAMES 1-9) GAME 1 VS. SAN JOSE STATE (NU 63, SJSU 46) The Nebraska Cornhuskers jumped out of the gate in fine fashion, using a 17-0 second-half run to keep San Jose State at bay in a victory at the Devaney Center. The Huskers went into halftime with an 18-point lead but saw it nearly vanish as, at one point, NU went more than eight minutes without a field goal. SJSU cut the lead to five before redshirt freshman Brandon Richardson and senior Paul Velander turned it up a notch on defense and redshirt freshman Toney McCray led the Huskers on offense as they picked up their sixth straight season-opening victory. McCray paced the squad with 17 points and nine rebounds while Velander added nine points on three 3-pointers. Nebraska harrassed the Spartans into 25 turnovers on the day while collecting 16 steals, the most under third-year coach Doc Sadler. GAME 2 AT TCU (NU 62, TCU 50) Playing in their first road game of the season, the Nebraska Huskers responded in strong fashion, holding off TCU for a victory in Ft. Worth. The win snapped a streak of 12 straight losses in true road openers, and was only Nebraska's third win in the Big 12 era in the first game of the season away from Lincoln. Nebraska shot the ball well from 3-point range, hitting 5-of-10 from beyond the arc in the opening period while overcoming 15 first-half fouls. NU used a 9-0 run to burst out to a lead at the break. The Huskers were up 16, 42-26, before the Horned Frogs mounted a comeback, pulling within seven, 46-39, before redshirt freshman Toney McCray drained a 3-pointer from the corner with the shot clock winding down to ignite the offense. Nebraska held TCU to just 10 field goals, including only three 3-pointers on 19 attempts, as the Horned Frogs shot just 27.0 percent from the floor. The 50 points were the fewest NU has allowed in a true road opener since GAME 3 VS. ARKANSAS-PINE BLUFF (NU 67, UAPB 53) Nebraska was sluggish to start but picked up the pace over the final minutes of the first half and held off a hard-nosed effort by Arkansas-Pine Bluff, 67-53, at the Devaney Center. The Huskers used a 17-3 run over the last 7:42 before halftime to go into the break up Sek Henry scored 12 of his 14 points in the opening frame while Steve Harley led the Huskers with 18 points in the contest. Nebraska forced 23 turnovers and won despite losing the battle on the boards, Along with Harley and Henry, Paul Velander added three 3-pointers for the third straight game and Brandon Richardson had the best of his young career, scoring nine points with two assists in 23 minutes. NU had 11 steals in the contest with Henry leading the way with four. GAME 4 VS. SAINT LOUIS (NU 71, SLU 57) Sek Henry and Ade Dagunduro jumpstarted the Husker offense and Nebraska executed the defensive gameplan to near perfection, running away with a victory over Saint Louis. Henry hit 7-of-8 attempts from the floor for a game-high 19 points, just one off his career high. He added four assists without a turnover, as Nebraska had just six turnovers as a team. Dagunduro added 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting, after entering the game with just 13 points in his first three games. He helped Nebraska hit 59.1 percent from the floor, including an impressive 65.0 percent in the second half. Saint Louis led on the boards, but were held to just 41.7 percent shooting. NU kept the Billikens off the scoreboard for just over six minutes while powering to a 9-0 run. The surge extended the Husker lead to 16 points with just over three minutes to play, sealing the victory. GAME 5 VS. CREIGHTON (NU 54, CU 52) Steve Harley scored a game-high 18 points, but it was his lone assist that made the biggest difference as Harley set up Ade Dagunduro's game-winner in the final seconds of a tremendous comeback victory. Harley, who hit 8-of-16 shots from the floor and tied his career high with six rebounds, had the ball on a designed play for him in the final seconds. With the shot clock off, Harley drove the lane with less than seven seconds remaining. As he got into the lane, Creighton hedged to the middle and while in the air, Harley fed the ball to a wide-open Dagunduro, who had an uncontested layup with 2.7 seconds remaining to give NU the win. Nebraska hit just 30.4 percent from the floor in the first half and trailed by 13 points at the intermission. NU used a 27-7 surge, including a 13-0 run that included three 3-pointers, to move back ahead and hold on for its fifth straight victory to open the season. The 13-point comeback tied the largest for a Husker squad under Coach Doc Sadler, equaling the mark set in 2007 on the road against Texas Tech. Dagunduro finished with 11 points while Cookie Miller's strong second-half play helped him finish with six assists, four rebounds and two steals off the bench as Nebraska won for just the second time in the last 10 regular-season matchups between the in-state opponents. GAME 6 VS. ALABAMA STATE (NU 80, ASU 51) Nebraska had four players record three 3-pointers apiece as the Huskers hit 14 treys on the night while running past Alabama State, 80-51, to end a four-game home stand at the Devaney Center. Steve Harley led the way with 16 points including a trio of 3-pointers while Ryan Anderson added 11 points by hitting 3-of-4 from long range. Anderson, who moved into the career top 10 for 3-pointers made with the effort, added a game- and career-best seven assists without a turnover. Nebraska posted 23 assists on the night as it hit 51.7 percent from the floor, including a blistering 56.0 percent from beyond the arc. Sek Henry was a perfect 3-for-3 from long range while Paul Velander added his fifth game with three 3-pointers. The Huskers also held Alabama State to 51 points on 36.0 percent shooting, including a paltry 25.0 percent from long range. GAME 7 AT NO. 19 ARIZONA STATE (ASU 64, NU 44) No. 19 Arizona State used a pair of key runs and strong second-half play by All- America candidate James Harden to ease past Nebraska, 64-44, at Wells Fargo Arena in Tempe. The Sun Devils evened the Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series with the Huskers at 1-1. NU defeated ASU, 62-47, last year in Lincoln. Nebraska came out strong and led by as many as five points as ASU had just one basket in the first 10 minutes of the game. The Sun Devils stormed back at the end of the period, using a 15-2 run to end the frame and go into the locker room with a advantage. After the break, a key 8-0 surge spurred by Harden knocked back the charging Huskers. Harden finished with 20 points, nine rebounds and six assists. The Huskers struggled against the ASU zone, hitting just 28.9 percent from the field with only Steve Harley (11 points) reaching double figures. GAME 8 AT OREGON STATE (OSU 64, NU 63) Ade Dagunduro's arcing shot from the baseline hit off the back of the rim and bounced away at the buzzer as Oregon State held on for a victory over the Huskers in Gill Coliseum as the Huskers dropped their second straight road game. The teams went back and forth all game, accumulating 11 ties and 20 lead changes before the Beavers got four free throws in the final 30 seconds from Daniel Deane to ice the game. Dagunduro put NU up on a pair of free throws with 11 seconds remaining before Deane had the ball stripped, but Cookie Miller was called for the foul to put Deane at the line with 8.3 seconds left. Deane hit both and Miller's jumper at the other end missed and went out of bounds with 1.1 seconds remaining to set up Dagunduro's final attempt. Dagunduro led the Huskers with 16 points while Toney McCray came off the bench for 13 points, seven rebounds and two steals. GAME 9 VS. IPFW (NU 75, IPFW 48) Nebraska was sluggish in the first half and trailed by five, 34-29, at the intermission following a 16-4 run by IPFW to end the period. But the Huskers, led by Steve Harley and Cookie Miller, caught fire on offense in the second half and clamped down defensively while posting their 31st consecutive non-conference home win to tie the school record. Harley scored a career-high 21 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the floor, helping Nebraska hit at a scorching 60.9-percent clip from the field. He had 12 points at the half and became the first Husker this season to eclipse the 20-point plateau. Miller continually set up Harley and his teammates, finishing with six assists without a turnover. He had four steals and seven points off the bench, although he started the second half, and helped Nebraska to a 31-8 run to put the game away. Defensively, the Huskers held IPFW to just 14 points on 21.7 percent shooting in the second period while forcing 24 Mastodon turnovers.
