LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s celebrated hiring of Fred Hoiberg has not yet sparked a turnaround in the long-suffering basketball program. Hoiberg is in his third season in Lincoln and is 20-54 overall and 5-38 in the Big Ten. His .270 winning percentage is the lowest through any Nebraska coach’s first 74 games.

The Huskers play at Rutgers on Saturday.
