Husker hoops notes: Taylor shines again while coming off bench

Related Topics: Anton Gill, Illinois

Replaced in the starting lineup by Anton Gill against Illinois, Taylor responded with 13 points. Against Michigan, Taylor came off the bench for five points while pulling down a team-high seven rebounds and adding three steals in 27 minutes.

He also sparked Nebraska's defense in the first half with a head-first dive to corral a loose ball and force a Michigan turnover.

The 20-point loss wish Michigan's largest this season, surpassing a 15-point defeat at North Carolina, and the margin of defeat since December 8, 2015 at No. 19 SMU in an 82-58 loss, and the most lopsided loss to an unranked team since March 15 2007 when Florida State beat the Wolverines 87-66 in the second round of the NIT.
