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.

A 6-foot-8 guard from Slovenia, Kavas had been on the court for less than a minute Saturday before coming out of a scrum for a rebound holding his left hand.
