Fred Hoiberg, Nebraska hoops waiting to make decision on Sam Griesel for Purdue game following recent illness
Published:
Fred Hoiberg updated what Nebraska’s plans are for dealing with Sam Griesel per Stadium’s Jeff Goodman. Griesel was not able to play against Indiana on Dec. 7.
Griesel played a huge role in the recent upset win over in-state rival Creighton. Griesel finished the game with 18 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists. In Griesel’s absence, the Huskers lost 81-65 to the Hoosiers.
Hoiberg is planning on seeing how Griesel looks at the team’s shoot around before making a final decision.
Nebraska’s Sam Griesel will be re-evaluated this morning at shootaround and then a decision will be made about his availability against Purdue, Fred Hoiberg told @Stadium. Griesel missed last game at Indiana due to illness. Had 18, 12 and 7 in win at Creighton last week.

Nebraska is 6-4 after suffering a loss to Indiana. It won’t get any easier for the team as Purdue is up next on the schedule. The Boilermakers are 9-0 and are the No. 4 team in the country. Luckily for Nebraska the game is going to be played in Lincoln.
It may be a tough task for the Huskers to slow down the likes of Zach Edey. Edey has been on a mission this season averaging 22.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 1 assist per game.
Tipoff will be at 2:15 p.m. ET on BTN.
