Husker hoops could be without Burke, Cheatham, on road at No. 9 Maryland

Mired in an eight-game losing streak, the Nebraska men's basketball team could be down two key players when it takes on No. 9 Maryland Tuesday night.

Husker coach Fred Hoiberg Monday said starters Haanif Cheatham and Dachon Burke are both questionable for Tuesday's game against the Terrapins.

Cheatham hasn't done any live work since he left the Iowa game with a bruised calf. The senior guard was helped off the court with about 10 minutes to play.

Hoiberg said Cheatham did some jogging Monday morning, and the Florida native was shooting free throws as NU wrapped up Monday's practice.
