(BCSNN) — Nebraska and men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg have agreed to a three‑year contract extension after he guided the Cornhuskers to a school‑record 15 Big Ten wins.

The university announced the deal Monday, days before the Huskers enter the Big Ten Tournament as the No. 2 seed. Hoiberg is now under contract through the 2031–32 season after previously signing a two‑year extension in 2024.

"Fred has built this program step by step, and his leadership has Nebraska positioned to continue to compete at a high level in the Big Ten Conference and nationally," said Nebraska athletic director Troy Dannen. "Fred is one of the most respected coaches in the country by his peers, and his success has been recognized throughout the college basketball world."

Nebraska enters postseason play at 26–5, having won 20‑plus games in three straight seasons for the first time in school history.

"We have a long family history with the University of Nebraska, and the support we have received over the last seven years is truly remarkable," said Coach Hoiberg. "We are blessed with world-class facilities, but the people are what make Nebraska special. Our goal is to continue building a program that our fans can embrace and have pride in because it represents the values of Nebraska."

The Huskers also reached a program‑best No. 5 national ranking in January. The extension reinforces the program’s confidence in Hoiberg’s leadership during one of the most successful periods in team history.
