Players to Watch:

Fifth-year Senior D.J. Newbill (#2) is the leading scorer in the B1G @ 20.7 ppg;  with 3.2 assists and 4.9 Rebounds.  He can score from anywhere; Huskers’ best bet is to try to keep him shooting 3s from the perimeter, not his strongest point.

Junior Brandon Taylor (#10) averages 9.3 points per game and has made 37  3-pointers.

Freshman Shep Garner (#33) averages 9.1 ppg.

All three players have made 50 3-Ptrs each.

EDIT:  Bracket Listing shows the game being carried on ESPN2 !!!!!! (instead of ESPNU)

Good eye. That's a missed transfer from my previous Penn St stuff
