As Nebraska Basketball gets set to take on UC Riverside Tuesday night, there is one player in the lineup that I am particularly excited to watch. Yvan Ouedraogo is going to be an exciting player to watch, and as a freshman, he will definitely be a building block for the program in the future.
Measuring in at six-foot-nine, he has experience at the international level. He averaged 12.7 points and 9.7 rebounds during the FIBA U16 European Championships and his size and skill makes him the perfect candidate to be a double-double machine. The international game of basketball is said to be a lot harder than regular collegiate basketball.
