Roby making gains

Well, look on the bright side.

Isaiah Roby, sidelined for months with a pelvic injury, is proud to say he can now bench his body weight.

“When I first got here, it was kind of embarrassing to be in the weight room, honestly,” said Roby, a freshman wing on the Nebraska basketball team.

Roby, from Dixon, Illinois, arrived in Lincoln in June weighing 197 pounds and able to bench press 175 pounds.

“I remember in high school they tell you that you should always be able to bench your weight,” Roby said.
