Sometimes, a basketball career ends quietly in the middle of the night.

Nebraska senior forward Matej Kavas announced on Twitter early Sunday morning that his college career was over following the hand injury he suffered in the first half of Saturday's game against Wisconsin.

Kavas announced the news at 2:42 a.m. Sunday, and NU made the news official with a midday news release.

"It is disappointing to see Matej’s college career end because of an injury,” Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg said in the release.
