Nebraska freshman forward Eduardo Andre did not participate in the Huskers’ season opener against McNeese State after receiving a positive COVID-19 test.
According to a statement from Nebraska, Andre is in isolation.
Andre isn’t named specifically in the statement, but he was the only player on Nebraska’s roster not present in the Huskers’ bench area.
NU coach Fred Hoiberg declined comment on Andre after the game.
According to NU’s statement, Andre “is in isolation and following all local and Lancaster County health guidelines.”
“We will also conduct all the necessary procedures included in the Big Ten Conference return to play protocols to ensure his health and safety before he returns to team activities.”
Like football, Big Ten basketball players must sit out 21 days before they can return to competition if they test positive.
