Corn Flakes: Nebraska Basketball Teams Remain Unbeaten

The Husker basketball teams both moved to 12-0 and are on a roll to start the season

Both Husker basketball teams won on Sunday to move to 12-0. Both teams fell behind early and looked like they had long layoffs as they knocked off early rust. Berke Buyuktuncel notched the second triple-double for Nebrasketball this season and only the fourth such performance in the program’s history.

Both teams have been fun to watch, even if they did have slow starts yesterday. Everyone has a week off before the ladies start conference play and the men finish up their non-conference schedule.

How about them Aggies? (yuck)

The Texas A&M women swept Kentucky to win their first national volleyball championship. Given the way they played against the Huskers, I am not surprised to see this result. They had the attitude and edge at the right time of year.
