Husker hoops guard Burke announces he won't play in Big Ten tournament

Dachon Burke won't travel with Nebraska to the Big Ten tournament, and it appears his days with the Huskers men's basketball team could be coming to a close.

Burke announced in a tweet just before 2 a.m. Tuesday that "I've decided my best course of action moving forward is to focus on my academics and prepare for graduation."

Burke is a junior, eligibility-wise, after sitting out last season to satisfy NCAA transfer rules after coming to Nebraska from Robert Morris. He is on track to graduate this spring and would be able to transfer freely to another program if he chooses.
