B1G previews to recommend

[Handy Johnson]

I haven’t perused any of the traditional Athlon/Lindy’s publications nor any on-line material for that matter. Has anyone come across a preview they would recommend? Also, has the Plain Dealer pre-season poll come out & I just missed it...?

Here's an extract from 49r's link above that seems particularly germaine!

What are the Cornhuskers facing this season?

A new era in Nebraska basketball tips off this season. The Cornhuskers moved on from seven years under Tim Miles, and now welcome former Iowa State and NBA head coach Fred Hoiberg as their new head man.

The stark changes aren’t just evident from the staff side. Nebraska is only returning two players from last year’s squad - redshirt junior guard Dachon Burke Jr. and junior guard Thorir Thorbjarnarson. Of the two, only Thorbjarnarson logged minutes last season.

So expect some difficulties for Nebraska this season as they mold new people, systems, and processes in place in this new era.

Not surprisingly, Nebraska is going easy on itself in the non-conference slate, but it will potentially be tough sledding once the Cornhuskers get to conference play. Let’s take a look at Nebraska’s schedule right now.
