The Nebraska basketball team is officially off to the best start in program history, and one of the things that makes the team so good is that there are plenty of reasons why. Pryce Sandfort's 32 points were a big reason why the Huskers beat Illinois on Saturday. Still, while he didn't light up the box score, Sam Hoiberg was the guy who got Illini coach Brad Underwood's attention.
After the game, Underwood, who was far from happy about his own team's performance, sung the praises of the coach's son. Chief among the reasons why he like Hoiberg's outing so much is that he did "all the little things" right.
