Four games. Seven days. One crown.
A championship crown.
The Nebraska men's basketball program beat the UCF Knights 77-66 on Sunday to win the inaugural College Basketball Crown inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
It was a game that featured Husker basketball history. Brice Williams, NU's first-team All-Big Ten and all-everything player, broke James Palmer Jr.'s single-season scoring record (708).
Williams entered the game 17 points shy of breaking the record and did so with a 21-point effort against the Knights. Williams was one of three Huskers who scored at least 20 points.
Connor Essegian poured in 21 points — 14 in the second half — while Juwan Gary was his usual junkyard dawg self with 20 points, eight rebounds and two steals.
