Huskers snuff Buffs

Colorado's Richard Roby (23) has his shot blocked by Nebraska's Aleks Maric (21). NU crushed CU on Sunday in Lincoln, Neb., and claimed the No. 7 seed in the Big 12 tourney.

? Aleks Maric led Nebraska in every statistical category in his final home game, leading the Huskers, 68-49, over Colorado in a send-off to remember.

The 6-foot-11 senior from Sydney, Australia, has 17 points, 16 rebounds and six assists to pace Nebraska, which opened a 22-point halftime lead.

“Aleks, wow, what more can you ask of a guy?” Nebraska coach Doc Sadler said.

Maric admitted to some tears after the game.
