We start with a full Huskers vs Maryland recap, and the headline is simple: Nebraska is finally stacking the kind of performances we’ve been begging for. The Huskers played great team basketball in the first half, got off to a fast start, and set the tone defensively by making every look difficult for Maryland. Then they came out even stronger after halftime — a better second half, even more connected defense, and the kind of game where you could feel Nebraska imposing its will.

But to take the next step, we’ve got to talk about the interior. Nebraska needs more from Rienk Mast — more consistency, less foul trouble, and more of that “star power” we know he has. If he becomes a steady two-way presence, it raises the ceiling of this team in March.

Then we flip over to football because spring training started this week, and the storyline is wide open.

Husker Nation, welcome in to another episode of the Bleav in Nebraska Podcast — I’m your host Bryan Colbert Jr.

We open with Nebraska hoops suffering another tough loss to a ranked opponent — an overtime loss to Purdue — and the frustrating part is the same themes we’ve been calling out all season showed up again: a slow start, losing the rebounding battle, foul trouble, and not getting to the free-throw line enough. Nebraska did fight back in the second half to force OT, but once you get to overtime, the margin is thin — and Purdue won the glass when it mattered most. We also talk about Rienk Mast fouling out, why it hurt, and how Nebraska’s lack of size in the paint keeps getting exposed. With only seven games left, it’s officially cleanup time — because these mistakes can’t keep repeating.

Then we shift to Husker football as Nebraska announces the Spring Game will be in March and tickets are officially on sale — we’ll hit what that means for fans and the early storylines heading into spring ball.

To close the show, we bring back one of your favorite segments: Bleav It or Not — will Anthony Colandrea win the starting QB job in 2026? ESPN’s projection has him starting the opener, but Nebraska’s QB battle with TJ Lateef is going to be one of the biggest storylines of the offseason.

HUSKER NATION — welcome in to another episode of the Bleav in Nebraska Podcast!

We start with a surprising staff twist: Nebraska’s new safeties coach Miles Taylor is leaving for the Baltimore Ravens before he even coaches a game in Lincoln. We break down what it means for Matt Rhule and DC Rob Aurich, why NFL opportunities move that fast, and how Nebraska responds to keep continuity on defense.

Then we flip the energy with a big recruiting win: 4-star DT Dylan Berymon commits to Nebraska’s 2026 class. We talk why adding talent inside the defensive line is such a huge deal in the Big Ten and why Berymon fits the identity Aurich wants to build.

We close with Husker hoops — back-to-back losses to Michigan and Illinois, what went wrong (especially on the glass and at the free-throw line), and why Rutgers is the perfect “reset” game before a major showdown against No. 12 Purdue led by senior guard Braden Smith. Stay tuned for a Husker Hoops Pregame Show next.
