Nebraska Basketball won the first game of its international trip on Monday. The Cornhuskers defeated the Madrid All-Stars in overtime on Monday evening by a score of 89-84.
Brice Williams led all scorers with 28 points on 10 of 14 shooting. C.J. Wilcher added 18 points and 10 rebounds in the victory.
According to the Nebraska athletic department, NCAA programs can take a foreign trip once every four years. Nebraska’s last offseason trip was to Italy in the summer of 2019.
While speaking to reporters on a Zoom call after the game, head coach Fred Hoiberg says that point guard Ahron Ulis will not play during the trip. 247Sports reports that the school is investigating a situation involving the Iowa transfer.
“We’re gathering information on a situation that Ahron is dealing with and right now that’s all I can say about that matter.”
Nebraska will take the court next when they travel to Valencia on Wednesday. A photo gallery of Ahron Ulis’ Iowa career can be found below.
