Nebrasketball: Hoiberg Wins Rematch With Iowa 76-70

After starting off 1-1 in conference play with a win over Purdue and loss to Indiana, Nebraska fell to Rutgers at home last Friday night. Tonight, they had an opportunity to return to .500, could Cam Mack and the boys get it done?

Contain Luka Garza, and force Iowa to make outside shots. That was Hoiberg’s game plan, and many other coaches game plans prior in the season against Iowa. There’s no way to completely take away Garza. Early in the game, the strategy worked out well.

The Huskers jumped out to a 7-0 lead and managed Fran McCaffery to receive a technical foul, just about three minutes into the game.
