The Huskers have nine letterwinners returning as well as a promising group of newcomers for sixth-year coach Tim Miles.The returnees are led by guards Glynn Watson Jr. and Evan Taylor, who have been a steady influence.

Taylor, who averaged 5.2 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in his first season at NU, has continued his improvement, averaging 8.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in the two exhibition games.
