[Husker] Oregon 68, Nebraska 56

[Tommy Thompson]

First time I've had a chance to watch the Basketball team play this year.  I 
was very impressed with the hustle and attitude of the players, which kept 
them in it until the end.   They really look like they enjoy playing for 
Sadler.  I think the Huskers might actually end up with a decent program in 
a couple of years.  I think they'll be competitive in the Big XII this year.
