It’s opening night! The Huskers came into this one a 15 point favorite, and did not cover.
After getting front row seats for the exhibition game, I was directed to the “other” student section, behind the away team’s hoop. I showed up at the same time for both the exhibition and tonight.
For Fred Hoiberg’s first game, intensity surged through the arena, with the starters leading that surge. Immediately after the U16 media timeout the team received a standing ovation from everyone, leading 14-7.
The team looked just as quick and energized as they did in the exhibition, flying to the ball.
