INDIANAPOLIS — Noah Vedral and Brant Banks, the two Nebraska football players added to the Husker basketball roster for the Big Ten tournament, are essentially emergency options Wednesday night against Indiana, Fred Hoiberg said in a call with reporters.
Freshman guard Charlie Easley has essentially been playing "on one leg" for the last week or so, Hoiberg said. Easley will give it a go Wednesday night against Indiana, but if he isn't able to stay in the game, then Vedral and Banks become a part of the equation.
Hoiberg said he called NU football coach Scott Frost a few days ago to ask about potential reinforcements, while also being mindful of not wanting to interfere with spring practice.
