Ready or not, Husker hoops dives into rugged early Big Ten schedule
Nebraska guard Dachon Burke Jr. (11) loses the ball as he collides with Southern Utah’s Dwayne Morgan (25) in the second half Nov. 9 at Pinnacle Bank Arena.This won't be anything Fred Hoiberg hasn't seen before.
But that doesn't mean the next few days for the Nebraska men's basketball team will be easy. Not by any stretch.
The Huskers take their turn dipping into Big Ten play with a trip to Indiana on Friday night. Then NU turns right around and plays Purdue on Sunday afternoon in Lincoln.
It's a quick turnaround — in fact, it is the shortest time between opening conference games of any team in the league, and the shortest break NU will have between games the rest of the regular season.
