Forget scoring streaks, these guys are winning at life off the court, and everyone's buzzing about it.

Maui Magic and Lakeside Lovin' Kicked Things Off

This whirlwind of romance kicked off on May 29, when Huskers forward Pryce Sandfort got down on one knee for his longtime love, Alaina Ashmore. Seriously, the pics they shared on social media from their romantic proposal in Maui, Hawaii, were absolutely stunning! Their caption said it all: "Here's to forever." You love to see it, right? And get this, Cale Jacobsen's partner, Bergen Reilly, and Sam Hoiberg himself were in the comments, already hyped for the happy couple.

But the love train didn't stop in Hawaii. Just a few days later, on June 1, Huskers guard Cale Jacobsen kept the momentum going. He proposed to his sweetheart, Bergen Reilly, who's also an incredible athlete playing Nebraska volleyball! The setup was pure romance, a lakeside setting where Jacobsen had lined a picnic blanket with flowers and a bunch of photos of them together. Talk about setting the scene! Their post was captioned with an enthusiastic "Forever and ever!" for the rising seniors.

Cliffside Proposal Completes the Trio and Coach Hoiberg Weighs In

Just when you thought the universe couldn't handle any more love, Sam Hoiberg, whose ties to his significant other, Bella Gregg, go all the way back to 2021, added to the incredible story. On June 3, Sam shared his own fantastic news, announcing his engagement to Bella! His proposal was just as epic, taking place on a rocky cliff overlooking the sea. Sam couldn't contain his excitement, writing, "Can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you! ♥️" And of course, his newly engaged teammates were right there in the comments section, cheering him on.

It's not just the players feeling the love, either. Men's basketball coach Fred Hoiberg, after this incredible flurry of proposals, perfectly summed up the vibe during a press conference on June 2: "Love is in the air in Husker Basketball right now." He's not wrong! This trio of engagements even followed another teammate, Trevan Leonhardt, who married Milly Leonhardt on May 23, with engagement photos that looked like they were straight out of a magazine, set in a rustic lakeside spot. What an unbelievable stretch for the Cornhuskers!
