For maybe the only time while Fred Hoiberg is the coach, the Nebraska men's basketball team is going slow.

The Huskers can officially return to the practice floor beginning Monday for the first supervised summer workouts in a revamped offseason schedule necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. But don't expect NU to go full-bore out of the gate.

"I’m excited. I’m excited to start working with our players on Monday. They’ve done a really good job, to this point, of coming in with their voluntary workouts, and they’ve done a great job in the weight room," Hoiberg told the Journal Star earlier this week.
