About NebraskaBasketball
Commitment. Teamwork. Unity. Loyalty. All are trademarks of a Barry Collier-led team, and all are necessary ingredients for the one thing every Husker is focused on: success.
After three years building the foundation of the program, Collier and the Huskers started to see that effort transform into tangible results in 2004.
Nebraska earned its first postseason berth in five years – and first under Collier – while posting an 18-13 record in 2003-04. It was a seven-game improvement in the win column over the previous season and marked the seventh time Collier had led his team to either an NIT (four times) or NCAA Tournament (three) berth. In 15 seasons as a head coach, Collier has led his team to winning campaigns 10 times, including eight seasons with at least 18 victories.
Nebraska 's 2004 NIT run lasted three games, with the Huskers reaching the second round of the tournament for the 12th time in school history. NU avenged its only non-conference loss of the season with a one-point road victory at in-state rival Creighton in the opening round of the NIT, and followed with an eight-point home win over Niagara. After a quick turnaround, the Huskers made a valiant second-half comeback before falling one point short at Hawaii to end the season.
Collier helped Nebraska post 15 home wins on the season, the second-highest total in Devaney Center history. During his four years in Lincoln, Nebraska has averaged 11 home wins per season, including at least one home victory over a ranked team each year.
In 2004, the Huskers picked up a pair of victories over ranked opponents, marking the first time since 1998-99 that Nebraska earned multiple wins over ranked squads. After losing a pair of two-point games against ranked foes earlier in the season, Nebraska got one in the win column when it dismantled No. 12 Kansas, 74-55. The Huskers then made it two straight wins over ranked teams at home when it ran past No. 25 Texas Tech, 72-44. The 28-point win marked NU’s largest margin of victory over a ranked squad ever, while the 19-point win over KU ranked fourth all-time. Three of Nebraska’s four largest margins of victory all time over ranked teams have come in the past two seasons under Collier.
Nebraska ’s success in 2004 came as a result of an opportunistic defense that led the Big 12 in field-goal percentage defense and scoring defense in the regular season. Overall, NU finished the season 20th nationally in field-goal percentage defense (.400) and 38th in scoring defense (62.9 ppg). The scoring defense was the best at Nebraska since 1983-84 while the field-goal percentage defense tied for NU’s best mark since 1960-61.
The Huskers were a more aggressive scoring team throughout the season after making major strides in a new attacking offensive scheme. Nebraska ranked 41st nationally in scoring margin (+7.6) while averaging 70.5 points per game, up from 63.3 ppg the previous year. It was the largest single-season gain in offensive output by the Huskers in 39 years.
Senior forward Brian Conklin set the school and Big 12 single-season record for three-point shooting by hitting 55.9 percent from outside the arc. He helped Nebraska make at least 200 three-pointers for just the second time in school history and the second time under Collier.
Under Collier’s guidance, three Huskers earned postseason honors in 2004. Nate Johnson, the team MVP, earned third-team All-Big 12 accolades from the coaches and was a USBWA All-District selection before being selected in the second round of the USBL Draft. After a strong season with the Kansas Cagerz, Johnson played in the summer league for the NBA's L.A. Lakers and earned a training camp contract where he will attempt to make the Lakers' opening-day roster.
Along with Johnson, Corey Simms was selected to the Big 12 All-Bench team in 2004, while Marcus Neal Jr. was chosen to the All-Newcomer squad by the league’s sportswriters.
In the classroom, the Huskers were just as successful by picking up a league-record six first-team academic All-Big 12 honors. Under Collier, NU has now had nine first-team academic all-league picks the past four years, after NU gained just five selections over the previous decade.
Since Collier was hired as the 25th head men's basketball coach at Nebraska on April 5, 2000, he and his staff have assembled a squad that represents the program and university in a first-class manner, both on the court and off. Collier emphasizes toughness, discipline and unselfish play-making every day, while allowing his players to utilize their talents and exhibit creative play-making skills.
Those talents have led to six players earning all-conference honors. Johnson was the first repeat winner under Collier, as he and Andrew Drevo were named honorable-mention all-conference as juniors. The pair finished their careers as the highest-scoring transfer tandem in school history. Drevo also went on to a professional career as he signed to play the 2004-05 campaign in Sweden.
With a strength of schedule that ranked in the top 60 in the country for the third straight season in 2002-03, Nebraska allowed opponents to hit just 40.8 percent from the field, while its three-point field-goal percentage defense was even more impressive. The Huskers led the Big 12 Conference by allowing a school-record low 30.2 percent from outside the arc.
In 2001-02, the Huskers set a school record with 18 three-pointers against No. 1 Kansas at the Devaney Center. Nebraska pushed the top-ranked team in the country before falling by a single point. It would have been the second win over a ranked team that season, as NU had already defeated No. 23 Texas Tech at the Devaney Center before a sellout home crowd.
Nebraska finished the 2002 season by setting team records for three-pointers made (267) and attempted (729) while ranking third in the nation in three-pointers made per game (9.5). The Huskers also had the third-fewest turnovers in school history with just 317 in 28 games to rank sixth nationally (11.3), and set a single-game team record with just three turnovers at Iowa State, including only one in the first half.
Cary Cochran and John Robinson II claimed honorable-mention All-Big 12 honors, with Robinson also being named to the Big 12's All-Improved team. Cochran set NU single-season (89) and career (268) records for three-pointers and led the nation in free-throw percentage (92.2) in his final year as a Husker.
In Collier's first season guiding the program in 2000-01, the Huskers allowed nearly five points per game less to opponents than the previous year, including allowing 16 fewer points per game on the road. NU also improved its field-goal shooting percentage, as it finished among the top 15 teams in the nation by hitting 48.7 percent from the floor.
Collier’s desire to stress defense as the key to winning games was music to Cookie Belcher’s ears. Belcher finished his career ranking third in NCAA history with a school- and league-record 353 steals. Both Belcher and center Kimani Ffriend were named to the Big 12 All-Defense team, while Belcher was a second-team all-conference selection by both the coaches and Associated Press. Ffriend was a third-team pick by the AP, while he and forward Steffon Bradford were honorable-mention all-league selections by the coaches.
Getting to the postseason is the direct goal every year for a Collier-led team. Collier, who came to Nebraska after spending 11 years as head coach at Butler, knows how to get there after finishing his tenure at his alma mater as the winningest coach in Bulldogs’ history.
About the Stadium
Named after longtime NU athletic director and football coach, the Bob Devaney Sports Center is home to the Husker men's and women's basketball, gymnastics, swimming and diving, track and field and wrestling teams.
The Bob Devaney Sports Center received extensive renovations in 2000, featuring two HuskerVision replay screens, hustle stat boards and digital message boards. The new sound system, lighting system and ring of honor add to the atmosphere in the arena, as do the addition of chairback seating on the arena floor.
Also in 2000, fans at the Devaney Center saw the addition of a Husker Hall of Fame and a Husker Walk of Fame. The displays in the concourse areas highlight more than 100 years of Nebraska athletics and 25 years of women's athletics at the university.
With a capacity of 13,595, the Devaney Center has hosted numerous NCAA postseason events since opening its doors in 1976. The Husker men's basketball team has enjoyed playing on the Devaney Center court, as NU has a 332-103 record at home through the 2003-04 campaign. The Huskers have posted less than eight home victories just once (1976-77) in the 28-year history of the Devaney Center.
The Husker men's basketball team has seen recent renovations to the team's locker room and ready room, as well as in the coaches' offices. Current renovations in the locker room include an expanded area for dressing and team meetings, as well as a new entryway and audio/visual center for watching game film.
The Devaney Center boasts a top-notched weight room in the facility, making strength training useful tool before or after practice. The weight room is part of three weight rooms available to NU student-athletes, as the Husker Power program is the model of excellence in strength training for schools around the nation. Ross Buckendahl, a three-year letterwinner for the Husker basketball team in 1999, 2000 and 2002, was named the 2002 Husker Power Athlete of the Year for his work in the Devaney Center weight room.
