Hoiberg, New-Look Huskers Ready For Debut

Seems we've been talking so long about how new the Nebraska men's basketball team is, that it's really not so new anymore.

Imagine actually being a part of the process.

"It's a whole new team," senior graduate transfer Haanif Cheatham said, "but we feel like we've been playing together for a couple of years."

Now, if the court product mirrors that when Nebraska christens the 2019-20 season Tuesday night against UC Riverside, first-year coach Fred Hoiberg will consider his debut a rousing success.

If you need a crash course, or a quick reminder, Nebraska, coming off a 19-win season in which it qualified for the National Invitation Tournament, begins the Hoiberg era with 14 new players on its roster.
