Believe it or not, but basketball starts next week. The Cornhuskers play their first exhibition game against Peru State in Lincoln next Wednesday, October 27th. Yes, I have to remind the football folk that college basketball starts at a little over half way through the fall.
Fred Hoiberg has assembled what is probably one of the best lineups in Nebrasketball history. I’m not saying they will take home the Big Ten crown, but this team has the potential to really raise some eyebrows nationally while taking down some of the big boys.
Hopefully there will be enough early season wins to get the Husker faithful to focus their attention on the hoops team.
