Cary Cochran was Nebraska’s dead-eye closer and record-setting sharpshooter
Cary Cochran’s Nebraska calling card was elite shooting: in the 2001-02 season, he averaged 14.0 points and hit 43.0% from three while making 92.2% of his free throws, and he finished his career as the Huskers’ all-time leader in made threes. He wasn’t just a spacer — he could punish defenses from deep, handle pressure, and deliver big moments, like his career-high 27 points and school-record eight threes against Baylor in 2002. If your team wants a calm, high-IQ guard who bends defenses and thrives in late-game shot-making, Cochran fits beautifully.
