The Hoyas will face a Nebraska team with more weapons than its first-round opponent.
Georgetown (18-15) is coming off a spirited 85-82 win over Washington State. The Hoyas got 37 points from Malik Mack, who played without Jayden Epps, Micah Peavy, and Kayvaun Mulready.
All three were officially out with a sickness. Their status for Wednesday’s game hasn’t been determined.
Nebraska’s (18-14) firepower starts with Brice Williams.
Williams torched Arizona State with 30 points in the Huskers 86-78 win. Williams averages 20.3 points per game.
Juwan Gary scored 18 points, and Connor Essegian scored 17 off the bench. In the last 10 games, Gary is averaging 17.3 points per game.
Nebraska scored 56 points and shot 54.5% in the second half.
What to Expect From the Huskers
Nebraska’s head coach hasn’t strayed far away from his NBA roots. Hoiberg has the Huskers running pro sets on offense, and his defensive schemes will put them in rotation. They want a fast pace game that generates as many possessions as possible.
