If the Nebraska men's basketball team is going to go down this week at the Big Ten Tournament, the Huskers are at least going to make it interesting.
The Huskers announced Tuesday afternoon that Nebraska football players Noah Vedral and Brant Banks both traveled with NU to Indianapolis and will be available for Wednesday's first-round game against Indiana at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Tip time will be approximately 7:30 p.m.
So just like last season, Nebraska will play in the Big Ten Tournament with seven scholarship players. But unlike last year, the Huskers are bringing in reinforcements from the football squad instead of unleashing walk-on Johnny Trueblood on an unsuspecting opponent.
