The Devaney Center will serve as one of the four host sites, and the Huskers have already faced Valparaiso, Nebraska-Omaha and Tulane before hosting Kent State on Saturday. The event honors the many contributions of Joe Cipriano to the Nebraska basketball program. He served as the Huskers head coach from 1963 until 1980, when he died of cancer just four days short of the start of his 18th season. His teams at Nebraska posted a record and made three postseason appearances. He was a three-time Big Eight Coach of the Year (1967, 1978 and 1980) and his 253 wins at the time of his death were 167 more than any previous basketball head coach at Nebraska. Cipriano coached the Huskers to a 20-5 record and a No. 11 national ranking in , the Huskers first winning season in 15 years and the most wins at Nebraska since The team is considered by many to be the best basketball team in the program s 117-year history. The following season, he guided NU to its first postseason appearance, becoming the first Big Eight program to play in the NIT and his squad won the Big Eight Holiday Tournament, Nebraska s only title in the event s history. In the 1970s, his teams finished below the.500 mark only once, while his most successful Husker team of the decade was in , which tied the school record for wins at the time with a 22-8 mark and reached the quarterfinals of the NIT. Members of the Cipriano family will be recognized during Saturday s halftime ceremony, including Randy CIpriano, who served an assistant coach from the through the seasons.

5 5 NEBRASKA BASKETBAll Last Time Out Nebraska made the stops down the stretch when it had to, as the Huskers pulled out a win over Tulane. Nebraska didn t allow a field goal during the final seven minutes to overcome a three-point deficit and remain unbeaten. Trailing 55-52, the Huskers held Tulane scoreless for nearly five minutes, as seniors Dylan Talley and Andre Almeida supplied the offense. Talley s runner in the lane with 5:43 left pulled NU within one before Almeida, who did not attempt a field goal for the first 35 minutes, gave the Huskers lead on a mid-range jumper that kissed off the glass with 4:55 left. Almeida and Talley then combined on NU s biggest offensive play down the stretch, as Talley found Almeida wide open for a dunk to put Nebraska up with 1:45 left. On Tulane s next possession, the Green Wave got an offensive rebound and regained possession with 1:07 left. On the inbounds play, Jordan Callahan was fouled attempting a 3-pointer. Callahan, a career 73 percent shooter from the line, missed all three attempts. Tulane had two chances to tie or take the lead in the final minute, as Josh Davis, who led all players with 19 points and 12 rebounds, could not hit a jumper to tie the game with 21 seconds left before Callahan, who finished with 16 points including a trio of 3-pointers, missed another jumper with five seconds remaining. Ray Gallegos then clinched the win, hitting a pair of free throws with three seconds left to give NU a four-point lead. Gallegos and Dylan Talley led Nebraska with 14 points apiece. Worth Noting from the Tulane Game -Nebraska improved to 4-0 for the first time since the season. -Nebraska went 10-of-19 from 3-point range which was a season high. The Huskers had just 11 3-pointers in their first three games. -Freshman Benny Parker dished out a career-high seven assists and had just one turnover in 31 minutes. The Huskers also dished out a season-best 15 assists. -Andre Almeida finished with 10 points, marking his second straight game in double figures. Almeida, who had nine of his 10 points in the second half, also blocked a season-best four shots. It marked the seventh time in his career he has blocked three or more shots in a game. Almeida also played a career-high 25 minutes for NU. -The Huskers shot 50 percent for the second time in four games, going 20-of-40 from the field. -Nebraska was 2-of-7 from the line in the first half, but went 9-fo-12 after halftime. -Shavon Shields made his Husker debut after missing Nebraska s first four games with an elbow injury. -Mike Peltz s 3-pointer in the first half marked his first career points as a Husker. -Ray Gallegos tied his career high with four 3-pointers, which he also had against Valparaiso on Nov Tulane s 57 points was a season low, as its previous low was 61 against Georgia Tech on Nov. 9. A Good Milestone for Tim Tim Miles has gotten off to a fast start in his first season in charge of the Husker basketball program. Of the 27 head coaches in Nebraska basketball s 117-year history, Miles is only the sixth coach to start his Husker career with a 4-0 mark and just the second since 1920 to accomplish the feat. Creep, Walk, Crawl, Run With four new starters and a 10-player rotation which includes three current or former walk-ons, it has taken some time to implement a new offensive system and the headline has been a common mantra of Coach Miles during his first season on the job. NU shot just 40 percent in its lone exhibition game, but as improved to 46.3 percent through the first four games. Nebraska is also averaging just 11.5 turnovers per game despite having to replace its top three ball-handlers from last season. Last year, the Huskers averaged 16.0 turnovers in their first four contests. NU ranks fifth in turnovers per game in the Big Ten entering this weekend s action. Ubel Looks to Expand Game The veteran of the Husker lineup, senior Brandon Ubel has become a focal point to Nebraska s attack this season. The senior from Overland Park, Kan., leads the Huskers in both scoring (15.3 ppg) and rebounding (6.8 rpg), ranking eighth in the Big Ten in scoring and sixth in rebounding. He is one of four players in the top 10 in the Big Ten in scoring and rebounding entering the weekend, joining preseason All-Americans Cody Zeller (Indiana) and Deshaun Thomas (Ohio State) and Michigan s Tim Hardaway Jr. Ubel began his senior year in style, posting his second career double-double with career highs of 21 points and First-Year Husker Coaches to Win Their First Four Games Coach Record Year T.P.

Throughout his career, Ubel has been one of NU s top shooters, as he is a career 80.3 percent shooter from the foul line, including 82.5 percent during his junior year. He is now just two free throw attempts from qualifying for Nebraska s career list in free throw percentage, where he would rank fourth on the Husker career list. Ubel has the shooting range that reaches out to the 3-point line, including his freshman year when he went 11-of-21 from 3-point range. Ubel closed out his junior season by playing some of the best basketball of his career, averaging 9.3 points on 68 percent shooting, 5.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in the Huskers final six contests. He reached double figures in scoring seven times in , including a season-high 17 points against Iowa on Feb. 28, on a perfect 7-of-7 shooting from the floor. Return of the Redshirts While Nebraska had six returning letterwinners back from the team, it is a pair of returning redshirts who have taken the slack from a lineup which lost four starters from last year. Senior center Andre Almeida and junior guard Ray Gallegos have played major roles early on. Almeida missed all of last season following a knee injury after playing 30 games in , but has been healthy and playing solid basketball early on. He is averaging 8.8 points on 54 percent shooting, 5.0 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, ranking sixth in the Big Ten in blocked shots. After a slow offensive start, Almeida enjoyed one of his best games of his career against UNO on Nov. 18. Almeida totaled 19 points on 9-of-11 shooting, and matched his career best with seven rebounds. Against Tulane, the 6-foot-11 center keyed Nebraska s second half effort with 10 points, six rebounds and four blocks, scoring nine of his 10 points in the second half. He also played well defensively in NU s win over Valparaiso with five rebounds and three blocked shots In , he averaged 5.2 points on 56 percent shooting, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocked shots per game. Almeida reached double figures on five occasions, including a 20-point, seven-rebound effort in his debut against South Dakota. Two of Almeida s best efforts of came against a pair of top-five teams, as he had 10 points and seven rebounds at No. 3 Kansas and 10 points on 5-of-5 shooting and five rebounds in 15 minutes off the bench in Nebraska s win over third-ranked Texas. Almeida was a force on the defensive end, ranking sixth in the Big 12 in blocked shots. Gallegos used his redshirt year to get stronger and worked on improving his all-around game and the signs have been evident early in the season. Gallegos is 16th in the Big Ten in scoring at 13.8 ppg while shooting 41 percent from 3-point range. He has been in double figures in all four contests after reaching double figures just three times in his first two seasons. Gallegos is third in 3-pointers per game (3.0) and ninth in the Big Ten in minutes per game (33.5) after never playing more than 30 minutes in his first two seasons. Gallegos racked up a career-high 16 points, including a pair of 3-pointers, in the opener against Southern and had 14 points, including a career high four 3-pointers, in wins over Valparaiso and Tulane. As a sophomore, he played in 25 games, including a start in the season opener, and averaged 2.8 points and 1.0 rebound per game. The Salt Lake City native s best game of came against Grambling, when he came off the bench for 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting in 22 minutes of action. Gallegos is one of NU s most experienced players, as he ranks second among Husker returnees in both games played (56) and starts (5). Talley Takes Offensive Role Senior Dylan Talley came into the season as the Huskers most proven scorer and has shown versatility early in the season. The 6-foot-5 senior enters Wednesday s game averaging 13.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game - the only player in the Big Ten averaging at least 13 points, six rebounds and three assists per game entering this weekend s action. He is among the top 20 in the Big Ten in all three categories and comes off a 14-point, seven-rebound, three-assist performance in the Huskers win over Tulane. Talley put together one of his best efforts of his career against UNO, scoring 22 points and added five rebounds and four assists in the Huskers win. He also had 17 points 7-of-12 shooting and seven rebounds against Southern and showed he was more than just an offensive threat in NU s two-point win over Valparaiso. Talley was held to one point, but topped NU in rebounds (six) and assists (four) and held Horizon League Player of the Year Ryan Broekhoff to just 2-of-11 shooting. In his first season at Nebraska, Talley tied for the Big Ten lead in scoring by a reserve, averaging 8.9 points per game, as he was in double figures 11 times. Talley has been a prolific scorer throughout his collegiate career, earning America East Conference Rookie-of-the-Year honors in , averaging 11.8 points per game at Binghamton University. At Blinn (Texas) College, he was sixth nationally in scoring at 23.0 points per game. In 51 career games at the Division I level, Talley has been in double figures 28 times. Parker Makes A Point The lone freshman in the Husker starting lineup, Benny Parker became only the 10th freshman to start a season opener since Parker has been steady early on, averaging 6.5 points on 57 percent shooting and 3.0 assists per game. Parker is among the Big Ten leaders in assist-to-turnover ratio and has had one turnover Big Ten Freshman Leaders No. Player - School Asst.-to-TO Ratio 1.

7 7 NEBRASKA BASKETBAll or less in three of the Huskers four game. Parker dished out a career-high seven assists in Nebraska s win over Tulane. Against UNO, he had eight points - all coming in the second half - after sitting most of the first half because of foul trouble. Parker had seven points, three rebounds and three assists against Valparaiso on Nov. 15. Parker was a four-year starter at Sumner Academy of Arts and Science, leading the school to an mark and a pair of state titles during his high school career. As a senior, he averaged 24.8 points, 6.2 assists and 3.9 steals per game, winning the 2012 DiRenna Award, representing the top player in the Kansas City metro area. Of Nebraska s three active point guards playing this season, two are Division I newcomers, as junior college transfer Mike Peltz joined the team in October. Sophomore Trevor Menke is the Huskers other primary point guard, as junior college transfer Deverell Biggs will redshirt this season. RIvers Looks to Get into Offensive Flow Throughout the summer and the preseason, one Husker returnee who was flying under the radar was sophomore David Rivers. The 6-foot-7 wing totaled only 20 points and 16 rebounds in 19 contests as a freshman, but has added nearly 20 pounds since last year. Rivers improvement has been evident early on, as he has averaged 4.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game as the Huskers sixth man entering Saturday s game with Kent State. Rivers had seven points and five rebounds against Valparaiso and established personal bests in minutes (27), rebounds (six) and assists (three) in the opener against Southern. That followed on the heels of an exhibition game where he had nine points and five rebounds in 19 minutes off the bench. Shields Returns to Add Depth For the first three games, Nebraska relied on eight scholarship players, as Shavon Shields was sidelined by an elbow injury. He made his debut against Tulane and played 14 minutes after being cleared for practice on Tuesday. His return helps the Huskers depth, as NU has only nine scholarship players available for this year and one of them is former walk-on Trevor Menke. For the first three games, Nebraska only had six players crack the scoring column before Mike Peltz hit a 3-pointer in Wednesday s win over Tulane. Of NU s nine scholarship players, only four (Dylan Talley, Brandon Ubel, David Rivers and Menke) saw action during the season. Tall Tale When freshman Sergej Vucetic signed with Nebraska in early May, he was the first seven-footer to join the Husker program in over two decades. The last time NU had a seven-footer on the roster was during the season, when the Huskers had a pair of seven-footers in Rich King, who became a first round pick in the 1991 NBA Draft, and Kelly Lively.

Walk-on Tradition Continues While the Nebraska football program is nationally known for its walk-on program, Nebraska basketball has a pair of walk-ons playing significant roles this season. Mike Peltz joined the Husker roster in time for the start of practice in October. A two-year starter in junior college, Peltz has backed up Benny Parker at the point guard spot. Despite battling a sore knee, Peltz has averaged 15.0 minutes per game and has a 2-to-1 assist-to- Hendricks Training Complex -Opened on Oct. 13, 2011 after 17 months of construction -84,000 square feet (80,000 new and 4,000 renovated in athletic medicine) home for the men s and women s basketball programs and wrestling team -Two-level facility includes separate practice areas for the men s and women s basketball programs, expanded locked rooms and team lounges. -$18.7 million facility also features a 5,000-square foot weight room, a completely renovated athletic training area that tripled the size of the previous area at the Devaney Center and a nutrition station. -The facility features a two-story abstract net sculpture, as well as a granite fountain imported from China.
