NU men's hoops notes: Lack of bench production; playing for a cause

Nebraska's coaching staff made a concerted effort to get the Husker bench more involved in Saturday's game.

The result: 52 minutes, 23 seconds played, three points and 11 rebounds, with all three points and eight of the 11 boards going to Tanner Borchardt.

The Huskers' reserves combined to shoot 1-for-9 from the field and 0-for-3 from three-point range with no assists, one turnover and one steal.

For comparison's sake, the four players Ohio State brought off its bench combined to go 4-for-17 from the floor for 14 points while grabbing 14 rebounds in 52:57 of playing time.
