Following the indefinite suspensions of guards Dachon Burke Jr. and Cam Mack, the shorthanded Nebraska men's basketball team has turned to an unlikely source for help—the football team.
The Cornhuskers, down to seven scholarship players after the suspensions, have bolstered their roster by adding quarterback-turned-guard Noah Vedral and offensive tackle-turned-forward Brant Banks, just in time for the Big Ten tournament. Nebraska will face Indiana in the first round.
Vedral, a freshman, spent last football season primarily as the team's backup quarterback, appearing in six games with two starts. His best performance came against Indiana, perhaps a good sign should he see the court on Wednesday.
