Essegian and 3s Propel Nebraska Men’s Basketball to Victory Against South Dakota

The Nebraska men’s basketball team improved their record to 5-1 with a 96-79 victory over South Dakota, showcasing a strong offensive performance and impressive three-point shooting. Led by a career-high 29 points from Connor Essegian, the Huskers made a season-high 13 three-pointers. Coach Fred Hoiberg praised the team’s aggressiveness and ability to capitalize on opportunities against South Dakota’s press defense. Despite a strong offensive showing, Nebraska struggled with sloppy turnovers, particularly in the first half.
