NBA star Dwyane Wade asks Huskers for a win over Ohio State
Published:
Dwyane Wade wants some bragging rights in his locker room in Cleveland.
Prior to Nebraska’s game against Ohio State on Saturday, Wade — who’s a known Nebraska fan thanks to the influence from his wife Gabrielle Union — asked the Huskers for a victory this weekend.
Wade noted that he’s got one too many Buckeye fans in the locker room and he doesn’t want to have to listen to them brag about the game for the rest of the season.
@Huskers I don’t ask for much but tonite I need your best. I have a few @OhioState fans in our locker room. Pls and 🙏🏾!!!

After a lengthy career in Miami, Wade played in Chicago last season but is in Cleveland, joining his old friend and teammate LeBron James. And, of course, King James is a well-known Ohio State supporter.
Earlier this year, Wade and Union attended Nebraska’s home contest against Rutgers. The Huskers knocked off the Scarlet Knights to open B1G play a few weeks ago.
If Nebraska wants to pull off the upset tonight, it’ll need some Dwyane Wade-like magic.
