good team. Pretty big too with a 7'1,264 (Meah), 6'10, 242 (Morgan) and Berke at 6'10, 244 and he's their leading rebounder at 6.4 a game. Plus their leading scorer at near 20 a game and a 43% volume three point shooter (Williams) is 6'7, 215. Two other double digit scorers at near 12 a game are 6'6, 225 (Gary) and 6'4, 190 (Essegian), a 43% volume three point shooter. No skinny guys at Nebraska.
At 10-2 and averaging near 78 PPG vs opponents 67, they will be no pushover on their home court. They are 7-1 at home with their only loss coming at the hands of a pretty good 11-3 St Mary squad,77 to 74, in mid Nov. Interesting to see how Berke reacts and plays against some of his UCLA ex-teammates.
IMO, this is a winnable road game for the Bruins but they will have to play a solid and decent shooting game to do it.
