Nebraska Men's Basketball finished its 2026-27 exhibition schedule 1-2, but what did we actually learn about Fred Hoiberg's Huskers before the regular season begins? Photo in thumbnail courtesy of Nebraska Athletics.

NTV Sports' Randy Silver breaks down all THREE exhibition games against Saint Louis, BYU and Kansas State, combining individual and team statistics to identify Nebraska's biggest strengths, concerns, breakout players and potential starting rotation.

After a historic 2025-26 season featuring 28 wins, Nebraska's first NCAA Tournament victory and a Sweet 16 appearance, expectations are higher than ever in Lincoln.

But with several key contributors gone and new faces stepping into major roles, can the Huskers build on last season's success?

🔥 Braden Frager & Pryce Sandfort: Could Nebraska have one of the best scoring duos in the Big Ten? Frager exploded for 28 points against Kansas State, while Sandfort added 23.

📊  Combined Exhibition Statistics: We examine all three games, comparing Nebraska's shooting, rebounding, assists, turnovers and defensive performance against its opponents.

🚨 Nebraska's Biggest Concern: The Huskers allowed 38 made three-pointers across three exhibition games. Can Fred Hoiberg fix the perimeter defense before Big Ten play?

🎯 Trevan Leonhardt: Nebraska's new point guard brings size, defense and court vision, but does he need to become more aggressive offensively?

🏀  Boden Kapke & Damon Wilkinson: How will Nebraska replace last season's production in the paint? We examine rebounding, interior scoring and the importance of stretching the floor.

⭐ Jacob Lanier: The freshman shot 7-of-12 from three-point range during exhibition play. Could he become Nebraska's surprise offensive weapon?

📈 Connor Essegian, Taj DeGourville & Cale Jacobsen: Who has earned a spot in Hoiberg's regular rotation, and who still has something to prove?

🏆 2026-27 Season Outlook: We project Nebraska's rotation, examine its upcoming schedule and discuss whether the Huskers can make another NCAA Tournament run.

Nebraska opens the regular season Monday, Nov. 2, against Le Moyne at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
