Big outing in win Hoiberg provided 18 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 69-50 victory over Maryland Eastern Shore.

Impact Hoiberg wasn't all that active in Nebraska's first two games, but he changed that in a Tuesday night win over Maryland Eastern Shore. The guard shot a blistering 70 percent from the field and was active everywhere else with seven boards, four steals and four dimes. Hoiberg has been active as a facilitator and on defense so far this season, but these are the kinds of nights he's going to need to have should Nebraska exceed expectations.

Back in starting lineup Hoiberg is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Hoiberg came off the bench in the 49-46 loss to Michigan, but he returns to the first unit for this matchup. He's started in eight of his previous nine appearances, averaging 3.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game in that span.

Scoreless in consecutive games Hoiberg produced zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one assist and one steal across 13 minutes during Wednesday's 89-72 loss to Penn State.

Impact While Hoiberg is typically known as a player who does all the little things correctly, but doesn't necessarily carry much fantasy value, he hurt more than he helped in Wednesday's loss. Not only was he held scoreless for the second game in a row, but he matched his season high with four turnovers. Over his last three games combined, he has more turnovers than points. Across eight games as a starter this season, Hoiberg is averaging 3.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists.

Productive against South Dakota Hoiberg provided nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and three steals in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 96-79 win over South Dakota.

Impact Hoiberg chipped in a season-high nine points, two rebounds, one assist and three steals as the Cornhuskers took down South Dakota on Wednesday night. The 6-foot junior has struggled to get going this season, averaging just 1.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 1.7 steals on 18 minutes per game this season. Hoiberg came into Wednesday's contest with a 9.1/0/0 shooting line, so this game marks a step in the right direction after a brutal start.

Impact Hoiberg was a major factor during a tense game, coming up with a late steal to secure the victory. He's shown some proficiency as a role player, so there's plenty of work to do as he progresses in his college career.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Keisei Tominaga is part of the Cornhuskers' starting lineup again. Hoiberg will try receiving a role similar to what he got at Maryland on Jan. 28. However, fantasy managers should consider that unlikely.
