Nebraska beats South Dakota

Probably the most interesting aspect to tonight’s home game against South Dakota will be the medical report. Gary got an elbow in the eye early in the 1st half, spent a lot of time in the locker room and then sat on the bench for the rest of the game. Buyuktuncel left the game late in the first half and didn’t return, either.

But Essegian had a career night and was hitting 3’s one after another en route to his 29 point effort.

Final score, Nebraska 96, South Dakota 79.

Connor Essigian seems to be a possible replacement for Tominaga as a 3 point threat.

Greg Zimmerman, UNL '75
Overland Park, Kansas

He certainly was last night, and like Tominaga he makes things happen away from the ball, too. He had a great Freshman year at Wisconsin, and seems to be regaining that form again.
