NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

05/14/2010 - Lincoln, NE (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nebraska announced on Friday that women's head basketball coach Connie Yori received a three-year contract extension through the 2014-15 season.

The National Coach of the Year, Yori led Nebraska to its best season in program history in 2009-10, going 32-2 with a perfect 16-0 conference record and the school's first regular season conference title. The Cornhuskers earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to their first Sweet 16.

"I am extremely appreciative of the commitment (athletic director Tom) Osborne, (executive associate athletic director) Marc Boehm and our entire administration have shown to our entire program," Yori said. "Winning in the Big 12 Conference brings great challenges every night, but we have proven that we can succeed. Hopefully we can build on that success over the next few years."

Yori, whose contract was set to expire in 2012, will receive a salary raise to $660,000 per season starting in 2010-11. Hired in 2002 after 10 years at Creighton, Yori has a 153-99 record at Nebraska and a 348-239 mark overall in her collegiate coaching career, which also included a stint at Loras.
