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.
