Outlook

	The Gophers and Cornhuskers will meet again in March.

In just its second year playing Big Ten basketball, Nebraska hopes it can make a little noise as the Cornhuskers transition into what they hope will be a contender in years to come.

Tim Miles, who was the head coach at Colorado State last year and took over for the fired Doc Sadler, has a team with only one returning starter in Brandon Ubel. Miles has been making progress on the recruiting trail, but it may take a little while before he sees the Cornhuskers make a move in the Big Ten.

The Cornhuskers lost 73 percent of the team's minutes from last year's squad, meaning a lot of inexperienced players are getting a chance to contribute this year. To take some of that burden, they are relying on a pair of freshmen and a couple of transfers.

Nebraska is off to a 2-6 start in the conference season. While the transition to better basketball may take a little while, the Cornhuskers hope to finish strong during this steppingstone season as they wait for Miles recruits to hit the hardwood.
