The Nebraska Cornhuskers men’s basketball team moves to 1-0 to open the season for just the second time under head coach Fred Hoiberg. The Huskers took care of business against the Maine Black Bears, emerging victorious in a 79-66 win that never saw the team trail. UNL had three players hit double figures in scoring and one of those three notched a double-double with 10 rebounds in his first outing wearing the Husker uniform.
Seven different Huskers scored in tonight’s opener against Maine, but Lincoln native and North Dakota State transfer guard Sam Griesel led the way with 22 points in his debut in a UNL jersey.
