The Nebraska Cornhuskers represent the University Of Nebraska–Lincoln in College Basketball . The program saw its first game in 1896 playing 7-on-7 basketball. The first collegiate game was against Nebraska Wesleyan University . At the end of the 2005-2006 season the program had 1,298 wins and 1,162 loses with 6 NCAA appearances and 14 NIT appearances. Doc Sadler is the current Nebraska men's basketball head coach. HISTORY While the University of Nebraska has experienced varying amounts of success for their intercollegiate athletic programs, men's basketball has been an exception. Nebraska has a distinction of one of the few major conference programs never to win a single game in the NCAA Tournament . In fact, in the over 90 years of varsity competition at the University, the first trip to the NCAA Tournament for Nebraska did not come until 1986 . Much of the team's success came under the tenure of Danny Nee , head coach from 1987 to 2000. Nee is the team's all-time winningest head coach with a record of 254-190. Nee led the Cornhuskers to five of their six NCAA Tournament appearances, six bids to the National Invitation Tournament , including the 1996 NIT Championship . Barry Collier , who led Nebraska from 2000 to August 2006, left to become athletic director at Butler University . He previously had been Butler's head coach from 1989 to 2000. TEAM HONORS
