Huskers Lean on Next-Man-Up Depth After Frager Injury
Nebraska weathered Braden Frager’s ankle sprain by implementing a ‘next-man-up’ approach and pulling away to beat Washington 76-66, extending the unbeaten streak to 19-0. Pryce Sandfort led with 23 points as NU benefited from balanced scoring and improved pace, even as coach Fred Hoiberg signals continued lineup tinkering. With Minnesota and then Michigan on a tight schedule, the Huskers face a test of depth and continuity as Frager’s status remains uncertain.
