Nebraska basketball ranks ninth in Big Ten preseason power rankings

Nebraska men’s basketball is ranked ninth in Jon Rothstein’s Big Ten preseason power rankings. The previous season saw Nebraska finish with a 28-7 record and reach the Sweet 16, where they lost to Iowa. This ranking comes as Nebraska aims to build off their Cinderella story from last year when they were projected to finish 14th. The team expects to benefit from key returning players such as Pryce Sandfort and Braden Frager, along with new transfers joining the roster. The upcoming season promises to have competitive potential for the Huskers.
