Nebraska announced several additions to future football schedules today, highlighted by a home-and-home series with long-time Big Eight and Big 12 foe Oklahoma State.

Oklahoma State will travel to Memorial Stadium on Sept. 16, 2034, with Nebraska returning the game in Stillwater on Sept. 15, 2035.

In addition to the home-and-home series with Oklahoma State, Nebraska also announced a date change for a future game with South Dakota State, two newly scheduled games with UTEP and single games against Louisiana-Monroe and Ohio.

"The first time Scott Frost and I sat down to discuss scheduling philosophy, we both shared a goal of making an effort to play former conference opponents," Nebraska Athletic Director Bill Moos said. "It is exciting to add Oklahoma State to our football schedule, and we will continue to explore additional opportunities for games in our part of the country.

"The Big Ten schedule gives our fans the opportunity to visit some of the nation's best college football environments, but the reality is many of those places are a long way from Nebraska. Games against schools like Oklahoma State, Colorado and Oklahoma are driveable and affordable trips for Husker fans."

Nebraska leads the all-time series with Oklahoma State 37-5-1, winning the most recent matchup in Stillwater in 2010. The matchups with the Cowboys give Nebraska eight games on future schedules against former Big Eight/Big 12 schools.  Nebraska plays Oklahoma in 2021 and 2022 and again in 2029 and 2030. The Huskers will play Colorado in 2023 and 2024, after a home-and-home series with the Buffs in 2018 and 2019.

The games with UTEP, Louisiana-Monroe and Ohio will be the first-ever for Nebraska against each of those schools. The Huskers have a notable tie to Ohio, with the Bobcats led by former Husker head coach and player Frank Solich, who is entering his 16th season as Ohio's coach in 2020. The date change with South Dakota State moves the second game in a three-game contract which was originally scheduled for 2024 to Sept. 7, 2030.

Oklahoma State: Sept. 16, 2034 in Lincoln; Sept. 15, 2035 in Stillwater

South Dakota State: Sept. 7, 2030 in Lincoln, replaces game previously scheduled for Aug. 31, 2024 in Lincoln; Nebraska also hosts South Dakota State in 2020 and 2028

UTEP: Aug. 31, 2024 and Sept. 2, 2028, in Lincoln

Louisiana-Monroe: Oct. 18, 2025, in Lincoln

The announcements complete Nebraska's non-conference schedules for the 2025, 2026 and 2028 seasons. The Huskers have single non-conference games remaining to fill in 2024 and 2027.

LeBron James' 12th triple-double of the season and Anthony Davis' hot hand led the Los Angeles Lakers to a 120-116 overtime win at Denver. The Lakers snapped the Nuggets' four-game winning streak and take a four-game lead in the Western Conference over second-place Denver into the All-Star break. Jamal Murray scored 32 points for Denver but Nikola Jokic was in foul trouble late in the game and had some big turnovers and missed shots down the stretch. The Nuggets had their four-game winning streak snapped.

The Indiana Pacers took advantage of a 10-0 fourth-quarter run to snap a six-game losing streak with a 118-111 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. T.J. Warren had 35 points and Malcolm Brogdon had 17 points and 13 assists to lead the Pacers. Bucks All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo&nbsp; missed his second straight game since his girlfriend gave birth to the couple's first child. Milwaukee still made it difficult after methodically trimming a 25-point deficit to four early in the fourth. The Pacers scored 10 straight and the Bucks couldn't get closer than seven as their five-game winning streak ended. Donte DiVincenzo scored 19 for Milwaukee.

The Toronto Raptors had their franchise-record winning streak stopped at 15 games with a 101-91 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The defending NBA champions were hoping to keep rolling right into the All-Star break but couldn't find the form that helped them average 121.2 points and shoot 50% over the previous 15 games. This time, the Raptors hit only 37.8%, with Kyle Lowry's triple-double coming on a night the All-Star point guard was just 4 for 13. Caris LeVert scored 20 points for the Nets, who ended a six-game losing streak against the Raptors. That included a loss Saturday in Toronto, where LeVert scored a career-best 37 points.

Trae Young led the Hawks with 27 points and 12 assists.

Luka Doncic had 33 points and 12 rebounds in his return from a seven-game absence because of a sprained ankle, leading the Dallas Mavericks to a 130-111 victory over the Sacramento Kings. Doncic added eight assists in the All-Star starter's final game before the All-Star break. It's the second time Doncic has missed games with a sprained right ankle. Kristaps Porzingis had 27 points and 13 rebounds with his fellow Euro star back. Buddy Hield scored 22 points for the Kings. Sacramento was never closer than 11 in the second half.

Devonte' Graham scored 28 points and Malik Monk added 25 to lead the Charlotte Hornets to a 115-108 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Bismack Biyombo had 14 points and 10 rebounds for Charlotte, and Miles Bridges scored 20.&nbsp;The Hornets rallied from a double-figure deficit to spoil D'Angelo Russell's home debut with Minnesota. Russell had 26 points and 11 assists. The Timberwolves played without Karl-Anthony Towns but led for most of the first three quarters.

Aaron Gordon scored 25 points and Markelle Fultz added 21 as the Orlando Magic rallied to beat the Detroit Pistons 116-112 in overtime. Gordon, who also had nine rebounds and nine assists, hit consecutive 3-point shots late in the fourth quarter to help Orlando erase a seven-point deficit.

Devin Booker scored 27 points, Kelly Oubre Jr. added 15 and the Phoenix Suns held on for a 112-106 victory over the Golden State Warriors. Phoenix won for just the second time in eight games and goes into the All-Star break with a 22-33 record. The Suns have already surpassed last season's total of 19 wins. Golden State fell to 12-43, the worst mark in the NBA. Andrew Wiggins led the Warriors with 27 points.

Brandon Clarke matched his career high with 27 points, Ja Morant had 20 points and nine assists and the Memphis Grizzlies went into the All-Star break with a 111-104 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.&nbsp;De’Anthony Melton and Jonas Valanciunas scored 12 points each.

Two people familiar with the decision say Colorado coach Mel Tucker has agreed to lead Michigan State's football program. The people spoke Wednesday morning to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the hiring had not been announced. One person said the school scheduled a meeting later in the day to approve the hire. Colorado hired Tucker in December 2018, and gave him a shot to run a program after he was Georgia defensive coordinator. The Buffaloes were 5-7 last season. Tucker succeeds Mark Dantonio, the school's all-time winningest coach. Dantonio retired as coach less than two weeks ago.

Teams improved to 4-0 in salary arbitration this year when the Colorado Rockies defeated catcher Tony Wolters, who will earn $1.9 million rather than his request for $2,475,000. The 27-year-old made $960,000 last year, when he hit .262 with one homer and 42 RBIs in 411 plate appearances. Players who previously lost this year were Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson, Minnesota pitcher José Berríos and Atlanta reliever Shane Greene. Dodgers reliever Pedro Báez asked an arbitration panel for a raise to $4 million on Tuesday and Los Angeles argued he should be paid $3.5 million.

Teams announced for 2020 Nebraska Shrine Bowl

LUBBOCK, Texas – February 8, 2020 – Chadron State College senior outfielder Angelica Maples hit three home runs Saturday, including a three-RBI shot against Texas-Permian Basin's top returning pitcher from 2019, as the Eagles clipped the Falcons 13-2 but fell 10-5 to Oklahoma Baptist University in Lubbock.

Maples hit solo homers in both games as well. She finished the day 3-for-7 with five RBI and three runs scored.

CSC scored its first two runs of the day on solo homers after OBU grabbed a 3-0 lead in the second. Bison pitcher Katie Long struck out four of the first six Eagles batters, before Maples caught her to lead off the third inning.

Leading off the fourth, CSC freshman third baseman Sloane Quijas repeated the feat, and the game was tied three batters later, when freshman Mackenzi Kroll sacrificed junior Alyx Gragg forward and senior Allie Mason singled her home to make it 3-3.

OBU used a pair of home runs and a CSC error to break the game open in the bottom of the fourth, going 6-for-9 in the inning and claiming a 10-3 advantage.

Kroll's two-run shot in the sixth, which plated Gragg making it 10-5, was the only other time the Eagles managed to score. It was a second consecutive game in which Kroll, who pinch-hit for Bailey Rominger on Friday, managed to put a pitch over the wall.

Junior Tia Kohl took her second loss in as many days for the Eagles, while Aspen Younce, entering a tie game in the fourth, was credited the win for the Bison.

CSC fared much better in the latter half of the day, when Gragg's RBI single in the first inning against UTPB, and her two-run homer in the second, provided all the offense needed in a 13-2 afternoon romp.

Gragg batted 4-for-4 in the win, finishing the day 6-of-8 with five runs scored to lead Chadron State.

Freshman DeAnna Barrera scattered four hits over six innings and struck out eight, leading the Eagles to victory for the second time in as many tries. Permian Basin Freshman Abby Cousins took her first loss of the season.

Highlights from the second game include two of Maples' three home runs on the day, as well as the Eagles' final two at-bats, when everyone in the first seven batting slots got at least one base hit, and CSC piled up nine runs to end the game in the sixth.

CSC concludes its Lubbock trip with two more contests on Sunday.

The Eagles, who are now 2-2 after two days, play Southern Nazarene University at 11 a.m. MT. They conclude with a non-conference game against the University of Colorado Colorado Springs at 1 p.m. That final contest was added at the last minute to replace a cancelled matchup with Eastern New Mexico.

CSC 🥎: Eagles homer six times in Saturday split

Eagles comeback falls short against Mountain Lions

By: John Murphy, CSC Sports Information Assistant

CHADRON, Neb. – Chadron State narrowed the UCCS lead to three with 49 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, but were unable to overcome a 22-5 first quarter deficit Saturday night, falling to the Mountain Lions 70-64.

CSC falls to 5-21 on the season and 3-14 in the RMAC. UCCS improves to 7-16 and 6-11 in conference play.

The Mountain Lions outscored the Eagles 22-5 in the first quarter and led 43-29 at half.

"We got down too far in the beginning," said CSC Head Women's Basketball Janet Raymer, "and we just couldn't quite get out of that hole.

CSC outscored their opponent by two in the third quarter and six in the fourth, and lowered the UCCS lead to three twice, but missed four of their final five field goal attempts in the final minute.  UCCS made five of six from the charity stripe in that timeframe to seal the win.

The Eagles shot 41.5 percent (22-53) from the field in the loss. Seven of their 23 three-pointers were good and 13 of 22 attempts from the charity stripe were made.

After shooting 56 percent in the first half, UCCS finished the game 44.4 percent (28-63) from the field. The Mountain Lions only made two of their 16 shots from behind the arc, but converted 12 of 16 free throws.

Chadron State had 19 turnovers in the loss, compared to the visitors 11. The Eagles turnovers resulted in 21 Mountain Lion points, while CSC scored seven points off the Mountain Lion turnovers.

"We turned the ball over too much, and we got into an uphill battle. That's not the battle we want. We want to battle even," Raymer said.

Both teams had 34 rebounds in the contest.

Taryn Foxen led both teams with 20 points, followed by Jessican Lovitt with 11 for the Eagles. Jori Peters scored five points, to go along with a team high seven rebounds and five assists.

Ellie Moore led the Mountain Lions with 12 points. No other UCCS players scored in double-figures, but six different players had eight points.

CSC returns to the road as they travel to their only south opponents. The Eagles will face South Dakota School of Mines on Friday and Black Hills State on Saturday. Both teams defeated Chadron State two weeks ago.

CHADRON, Neb. -- February 8, 2020 -- The struggles continued for the Chadron State College men's basketball Saturday night, when Colorado-Colorado Springs broke a 54-54 tie midway in the second half and went on to defeat the Eagles 75-62 in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference contest in Chadron.

Chadron State shot 53.8 percent (14-26) from the field in the first half while building a 40-34 halftime lead. But the Eagles went cold in the second half when they hit just 29 percent (9-31) and were outscored 41-22.

Things got worse the longer the game continued for the hosts. They made only three of 15 field goal tries in the final 8 ½ minutes after they'd tied the score at 54 on an old-fashioned 3-point play by freshman Andre Sepeda.

Colorado Springs, now 15-7 overall and 11-6 in the RMAC, didn't blister the nets, making 11 of 30 shots (36.7%) in the opening half and 13 of 27 (48.1%) in the second half for 42 percent overall. But the Mountain Lions sank 10 three-pointers, twice as many as the Eagles, and outscored the hosts 17-11 from the free throw line.

Seniors Padiet Wang and Blend Avdili each scored 15 points to lead the visitors, while junior Parker Gaddis contributed 14 and freshman Alijah Comithier 12.

Chadron State's leading scorers were senior Brian Rodriguez and freshman Andre Sepeda with 16 apiece. While Rodriguez is the Eagles' leading scorer with a 16.7-point average, it was the first time Sepeda had scored in double figures.

Coach Houston Reed said he appreciated the energy the 5-foot-8 Greeley, Colo., product provided. Sepeda was six of eight from the field, including three of five from behind the arc, and the free shot.

"We needed a little spark tonight and got it from Andre," the coach noted.

Reed also liked the three consecutive layups provided by center Jacob Jefferson, in less than two minutes early in the second half, one of them after he'd grabbed a rebound. But Reed said in the final analysis, the Eagles "simply struggled to put the ball in the basket in the second half."

Colorado Springs--Padiet Wang 15, Blend Avdili 15, Parker Gaddis 14, Alijah Comithier 12, Pat Lanipekun 8, Ed Bourke 4, Geoff Kelly 3, William Becker 3, Johnnie Jones III 1. Totals: 24-57 (10-28) 17-24, 75 points, 36 rebounds, 6 turnovers.

Chadron State--Brian Rodriguez 16, Andre Sepeda 16, Jacob Jefferson 10, Stephon Bell 9, Kayden Sund 5, Colby Jackson 2, Kenan Gray 2, Kevin DiMarco 2. Totals: 23-57 (5-20) 11-13, 62 points, 37 rebounds, 12 turnovers.

Eagles showcase new talent on opening day with split in Lubbock

LUBBOCK, Texas – February 7, 2020 – Chadron State College softball opened its 2020 season on Friday at the Lubbock Sports College Invitational, hosted by Lubbock Christian University. The Eagles split their first two games of the year, defeating Fort Hays State University 4-1 before falling 7-1 to their hosts.

All eight Eagles who started and ended the game in the batting order were able to reach base safely in CSC's earlier game against Fort Hays.

Meanwhile true freshman DeAnna Barrera, getting her first college start in the circle, kept a sheet clean of earned runs, giving up only one score in the first on a throwing error.

The rest of the scoring was done by Chadron State. Sophomore shortstop Bailey Marvel singled on in the third, stole second, and came home on an RBI single by freshman Sloane Quijas. Later, Quijas came in as well, scoring the winning run on a single by Ellie Owens.

After senior Bailey Rominger led off the fourth with a walk, consecutive singles by Marvel and freshman Addison Spears scored Rominger, putting CSC up 3-1.

Finally, Gabby Russell drove in Angelica Maples in the fifth inning to punctuate the score at 4-1.

The loss was the first of the season for Fort Hays, which defeated Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference member UC-Colorado Springs 14-10, earlier in the day, to begin its season

The Eagles left six baserunners stranded in the later game, which was decided by the same number of runs. Those were scattered over five separate innings, however, as Lubbock pitcher Jordan Wehr scattered four hits and a walk.

Each side committed only one error, but both shook off the dust early. The Chaps gave the Eagles a baserunner with a muffed throw in the top of the first, and advanced her on a wild pitch. Later in the inning, a walk put a Lubbock runner on the bases, and after two steals, a CSC error put her across the plate, giving the home team a 1-0 lead.

When Rominger homered to lead off the fifth inning, the Eagles finally busted their four-inning scoring drought and tied the game at one apiece.

However, the Chaps' bats finally began to ring true in the bottom of the fifth, and they ended CSC pitcher Tia Kohl's one-hitter with four runs on five base hits. They added two more runs on two hits in the sixth, for insurance.

Lubbock Christian remained perfect at 5-0 with the win, while CSC begins the season 1-1.

The Eagles are back in action at 9 a.m. MT on Saturday, with a morning game against Oklahoma Baptist University. They are scheduled to play Texas-Permian Basin at 1:30 p.m.

Colorado Mines cruises in men's game, 81-47

By: Con Marshall, CSC Sports Information

CHADRON, Neb. -- February 7, 2020 -- Colorado School of Mines broke a 16-16 tie midway through the first half, went on to build a 44-29 halftime margin and continued to pull away from homestanding Chadron State for an 81-47 victory Saturday night in a men's Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference basketball game. 

The Orediggers, now 15-8 for the season and 11-5 in the conference, shot 48 percent from the field in each half while finishing 28 of 58 for the game. Their point total included 11 of 31 from 3-point range and 14 of 17 at the free throw line.  

The visitors also outrebounded the Eagles 40-29, leading to a 17-4 margin in second chance points. They also had a 16-8 advantage in points off turnovers and a 34-18 spread in points in the paint. 

Although Mines jumped out to a 7-0 lead, the Eagles made seven of their first 11 shots to go ahead 16-13. That proved to be their only lead.  Chadron State finished the first half 12 of 24 from the field, but was just two of four from the free throw stripe to account for much of its 15-point intermission deficit  

Chadron State connected on just six of 29 field goal attempts in the second half while falling farther and farther behind. The Eagles' 47 total points are their season low by a dozen. 

"We had a lot of shots that we're capable of making, both those from four to six feet away and open shots from the perimeter, that didn't go down tonight," Chadron State Coach Houston Reed. "I'm frustrated and the players are frustrated, but I'd rather have guys who are frustrated than those who are apathetic. I know they'll keep working. We're a much better team than our won-loss record." 

The Eagles are now 3-19 for the season and 2-13 in the conference. 

Four Orediggers scored in double digits, led by junior forward Michael Glen with 19 points on seven of nine from the field, including two-of-two from behind the arc three-of-three at the line. Glen also was the leading games rebounder with nine.  

Kobi Betts added 13 points, Titus Reed 12 and Joe Miks 11 for Mines.  Each is also a junior.  

Chadron State's only double figure scorer was Brian Rodriguez with 12, all in the first half. He did not play in the second half after drawing his fourth foul on a technical just before halftime.  Colby Jackson and Kenan Gray each finished with eight points. 

The Eagles will host Colorado-Colorado Springs on Saturday night while Mines will return to the Denver area to play Metro State.  Colorado Springs toppled the Roadrunners 70-47 Friday night.  

Colorado Mines--Michael Glen 19, Kobi Betts 13, Titus Reed 12, Joe Miks 11, Brendan Sullivan 7, Luke Golter 7, Bede Hooper 5, Ben Boone 3, Austin Means 2, Paul O'Leary 2. Totals: 28-58 (11-31) 14-17, 81 points, 40 rebounds, 10 turnovers.

CHADRON, Neb. -- February 5, 2020 --&nbsp;The Chadron State College football program received 37 National Letters of Intent from prospective student-athletes on Wednesday, the first day of the 2020 high school signing period for NCAA Division II football.

"I'm really excited about this year's recruiting class," said CSC Head Football Coach&nbsp;<a href="https://chadroneagles.com/coaches.aspx?rc=387">Jay Long</a>. "We addressed many of our needs. There are a good balance of kids in the class who will have an opportunity to develop in the long term, and kids who will be able to compete right away."

The class consists of 18 who were recruited to play offense, 17 defensive players, one specialist, and one all-around athlete. Four are transfers who have previously played in college, while 33 were recruited out of high school.

At least 20 of the new signees have earned all-state recognition of some sort, with numerous conference, area, or regional accolades among them as well.

Five who signed letters for athletic scholarships are from Nebraska, starting right at home with Cooper Heusman&nbsp;of Chadron, who is expected to continue CSC's tradition of outstanding tight ends. Another local product is Sioux County's Tommy Watson, a six-man first team all-stater for the Warriors, who will be classified as an all-around athlete. One of the state's most highly-regarded quarterbacks is Clayton Murphy of Ogallala, who was responsible for dozens of touchdowns for the Indians. Finally two midstate&nbsp;linemen, Kien Martin of Overton and Chi Onate of Gibbon, round out the five from the home state.

They include a quarterback-receiver combo from Thunder Basin High in Gillette. Both receiver Blaine Allen and shot caller Mason Hamilton were first team all-state selections, with Hamilton making the Casper Star-Tribune Super 25. Other Super 25 members for 2019 include&nbsp;Jeydon Cox, a running back from Jackson, and&nbsp; Dax Yeradi&nbsp;of Wright, who is a three-time first team all-state selection at defensive back. Charles Beaudrie of Cody and and Dawson Hatch of Buffalo will also compete at defensive back, while Dean Shaw of Afton is brought in as a all-purpose back.

A whopping 17 of this year's class hail from Colorado.

Javian Byrd is a junior defensive back transfer from Golden West College in California, who originally enrolled at CSU-Pueblo. He attended George Washington High in Denver. The other 16 are high school recruits.

Offensive linemen Tyler Carpenter of Broomfield High and Sy Spitz of Lamar are both first team all-state selections, while defensive lineman Carson Berghuis&nbsp;of Wray and kicker Alberto Perez of Kersey were second teamers in their respective classifications. All-state honorable mention went to tight end Peter Krohn of Fort Collins, Hunter O'Connor of Legacy High in Broomfield, and receiver Grant Swenson, a teammate of Carpenter's. A total of six new Eagles are from Broomfield this year, adding receiver River Juarez of Broomfield High and linebacker Adam Lynch of Legacy.

Rounding out the front rangers are defensive lineman Jakob Chirico of Highlands Ranch, O-linemen Josh Gade of Northglenn and Ty Gish of Parker, linebacker Xavier Harrell of Centennial, lineman Jacob Nasalroad of Aurora, linebacker Tate Satterfield of Fort Collins, and defensive back Creighton Trembly of Longmont.

Three of four Californians in the signing class are transfers.

Matthew Bunnel, originally from San Juan Capistrano will transfer from Saddleback College. He projects as an outside linebacker or defensive end at 6-3, 250 pounds.

Monterey Peninsula College sends Jonathan Gonzalez, a 6-2, 178-pound defensive back who started on both offense and defense for the Lobos.

Jalen Starks, who was once listed as a 6-0, 265 pound fullback on the UCLA roster, brings a new look to the CSC running backs room. He is from Van Nuys.

The remaining recruit from the Golden State is Ronald McFoy, a defensive back from Rancho Verde High in Moreno Valley.

The lone South Dakota signee this year is Nick Lembke, a linebacker out of Rapid City's St. Thomas More High.

The remaining members of the signing class include defensive lineman Jamar Jackson of Greenville, Alabama, tight end Lloyd Love of Tucson, Arizona, and running back Jahon Moore of Hillside, N.J.

The players listed above are only the first to sign indicating their intent to join the Eagles. More are likely to follow in the weeks and months ahead.
