Braden Frager - Stellar off the bench in win Frager accumulated 15 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 90-60 victory over Wisconsin.
Impact Frager's 15 points were the most he's scored in four games, aided by three triples as the Huskers buried Wisconsin. But more than the scoring, Frager also added a post presence off the bench with six boards, and dished out a season-high three assists. The freshman forward is averaging 11.9 points and 4.3 rebounds off the bench for Nebraska -- he's been tremendously valuable.

Jamarques Lawrence - Seven dimes in easy win Lawrence finished with five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and seven assists over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 90-60 victory over Wisconsin.
Impact Nebraska's offense was humming all night against a hapless Badgers' defense, but Lawrence couldn't get in on the action, at least from a scoring perspective. He was just 2-of-7 from the field and has now been held to single-digit points in each of his last five games. The point guard did dish out a season-high seven assists, thriving as a facilitator, but he's been quiet as a scorer as of late.

Pryce Sandfort - All-around effort in beatdown Sandfort ended with 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 90-60 victory over Wisconsin.
Impact Sandfort is in the midst of a career year, and had another excellent outing against Wisconsin, turning in an all-around performance with 14, four and three. The Iowa transfer, who's been a bench player for his entire career, is flourishing with Nebraska, averaging 15.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

Sam Hoiberg - Gets it done vs. Badgers Hoiberg closed Wednesday's 90-60 win over Wisconsin with 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes.
Impact Hoiberg didn't jump off the screen in Nebraska's smackdown of Wisconsin on Thursday night, but he didn't need to as the Huskers cruised to a 30-point win to start 10-0 for the first time in school history. Hoiberg had been rather inconsistent, especially from a scoring standpoint, early in the season. Now, he's logged back-to-back double-digit scoring outings and is shooting 64.7 percent from the field in his last two games.

Berke Büyüktuncel - Bothers Badgers all night Buyuktuncel chipped in 14 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 90-60 victory over Wisconsin.
Impact Buyuktuncel's activity in the paint gave Wisconsin problems all night long, and he scored an uber-efficient 14 points on five shots. The forward also put in work on the glass, swatting two shots while pulling down five rebounds. Buyuktuncel hadn't hit double figures since Nov. 15, but this kind of performance could ignite him moving forward.
