About The Event

After a tough overtime loss to No. 21 Miami, the Nebraska men’s basketball team looks to rebound, as the Huskers host Abilene Christian.

SCOUTING ABILENE CHRISTIAN
Fifth-year coach Joe Golding brings Abilene Christian to Lincoln on Saturday with a 3-4 record following a 86-75 loss to New Hampshire Thursday evening. A former player and assistant at ACU, Golding spent three seasons as an assistant at Arkansas-Little Rock, helping the school make an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2011 before returning to the school as the program’s head coach.

ACU welcomes back three starters and six lettwerwinners from a team that went 10-21 in 2014-15 and finished 12th in the Southland Conference. The Wildcats are in their third season of transition to Division I and typically start four seniors and a junior. Freshman Jaylen Franklin is the team’s leading scorer at 13.7 ppg and has come off the bench for the Wildcats. Freshman Jaren Lewis leads the team in rebounding at 6.9 per game and adds 9.3 points per game while averaging less than 20 minutes per contest.

Series History: Saturday’s game is the first-ever meeting between the two schools. Nebraska is 7-2 against the current members of the Southland Conference. The Abilene Christian is one of four first-time opponents on the 2015-16 schedule.
