List of Nebraska Cornhuskers men's basketball seasons

The program's first game was an 11–8 win over the Lincoln YMCA in 1897. Three years later, Nebraska played its first game against another university, a 37–5 victory over Nebraska Wesleyan. The program has an all-time record of 1,501–1,373, with seven NCAA Tournament appearances and 16 NIT appearances.

Nebraska Cornhuskers baseball

Nebraska has the distinction of being the only major conference program to have never won a game in the NCAA Tournament, and did not make the tournament until 1986. Much of the team's modest success came during the 14-year tenure of Danny Nee, Nebraska's all-time winningest head coach. Nee led the Cornhuskers to five of their seven NCAA Tournament appearances and six NIT bids, including the 1996 NIT championship, NU's only national postseason title. After Nee was fired in 2000, Barry Collier was hired and led the program for six years, until leaving to become athletic director at Butler University.[1] Nebraska then hired Doc Sadler from UTEP, who led the Cornhuskers through the school's transition from the Big 12 to the Big Ten, but like Collier, failed to make an NCAA Tournament appearance. Tim Miles took Nebraska to the tournament in his second season, but did not make it back, and was fired in 2019, when Nebraska hired former Chicago Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg.[2]

Notes
  1. There are several discrepancies between the official records of the University of Nebraska and Big Eight Conference. Years in question are 1910–11, 1912–13, 1920–21, 1924–25, 1929–30, 1932–33, 1945–46, and 1960–61. All values listed are from Nebraska's media guide
  2. The first postseason college basketball tournament, the NIT, was created in 1938. The NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship was created in 1939
  3. The Associated Press began compiling a weekly ranking of the top 20 men's college basketball teams during the 1950–51 season. Regular-season polls from 1949–60 had 20 teams, from 1961–68 had 10 teams, and since 1990 have had 25 teams. A weekly poll of college basketball coaches was introduced in 1965
