It's been a whirlwind season already for redshirt-freshman Braden Frager. He started the season as the Huskers' sixth man but showed enough in the team's first six games that on Tuesday night, he was promoted into the starting lineup.
While even Frager would admit his first collegiate start was far from perfect, it was good enough that excitement continues to circulate around the young guard. One of the biggest things to get excited about is that even when he struggles in one area, he doesn't let that take his entire game down.
Frager, who was just a day off from being named Big Ten Freshman of the Week, played 31 minutes on Tuesday night against Winthrop.
