Nebraska will try to make December start like the previous month finished when it hosts North Florida in a non-conference game Sunday afternoon in Lincoln, Neb. The Cornhuskers (5-1) are a 3-point loss to Saint Mary's from being unbeaten this season, but their signature performance was an 11-point win at in-state rival Creighton, then ranked No. 14, on Nov. 22. Nebraska most recently beat South Dakota 96-79 on Wednesday behind a career-high 29 points from Connor Essegian for their 16th consecutive home victory dating to last season. "You see what happens when the first couple go down -- it's the domino effect that goes on to the rest of the team," Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg said of Essegian, a transfer from Wisconsin.
