“We have a bunch of scorers. And the team, we’re a real unselfish team. Everybody’s happy for one another’s success, and ultimately I think that’s probably going to be the biggest thing this season,” junior guard Trey McGowens said. “As long as we keep doing everything like that, I think we’re going to have a pretty successful season.”
Hoiberg Tuesday hadn’t yet decided on a starting lineup, but a group of six Huskers —McGowens, Allen Dalano Banton, Thorir Thorbjarnarson, Yvan Ouedraogo and Lat Mayen — comprise the group from which the starters will come.
That list of course does not include Kobe Webster, Shamiel Stevenson, and Derrick Walker, who all appear to be in line for playing time as well.
“We’re going to have different guys on different nights, and that has to be OK. You may have a game where you score 20, the next night you have four. If you win, everything is great, and that’s the bottom line,” Hoiberg said. “If everybody’s all about the team and all about the end result – winning – that’s the important thing. And we have stressed that a lot to this group, because we have so many people that are capable.
“It’s a tough job, but if you’re going to have a successful team, you’ve got to have role acceptance.”
