FOR OPENERSNebraska begins its 123rd season of basketball on Tuesday evening against Mississippi Valley State. Here are some facts

and figures about season openers for the Husker basketball program. The Nov. 6 opening date is the earliest in school history. The previous earliest start came in the 2013-14 season

when Nebraska faced Florida Gulf Coast on Nov. 8, 2013. Nebraskais83-39(.680)all-timeinseasonopenersandhaswon17straightseasonopenersdatingbacktoan87-83

setback at Oral Roberts to begin the 2000 season. Nebraska is 26-2 in its past 28 season openers dating back to the 1990-91 campaign. The last time Nebraska lost a season opener at home was 1980 when NU fell to Wyoming, 62-59, in overtime. The

Huskers have won 28 straight season openers at home since that loss. Under Tim Miles, the Huskers have won all six of their openers by an average of 21.0 points. The 46-point win over

Mississippi Valley State in 2015 was the 12th-largest margin in school history.

EXHIBITION RECAPBehind 12 points and 10 rebounds from Isaiah Roby and a solid defensive effort, Nebraska cruised to a 75-40 win over

Wayne State at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Nov. 1.Roby, who nearly had a double-double in the first half with eight points and eight boards, led a balanced attack that

saw James Palmer Jr. reach double figures with 10 points. In addition, four other players had at least eight points while all 12 players who saw action broke into the scoring column.

The Huskers limited Wayne State to just 23.5 percent shooting, including 5-of-22 from 3-point range, and enjoyed a 56-35 advantage on the glass. Wayne State was within 14-9 midway through the first half before Glynn Watson Jr. sparked a 7-0 spurt with a 3-pointer to give NU a 21-9 cushion after a basket from Amir Harris. The Wildcats pulled to within 30-19 after a basket from Nate Thayer, but Nebraska closed the half on a 9-2 run to build an 18-point halftime cushion.

Inthesecondhalf,theHuskersquicklypushedtheleadto22afterbasketsfromPalmerandRobybeforetheWildcatstrimmed the lead back to 19, the last time at 45-26 after a Kendall Jacks basket. NU took over, using a 9-1 run capped by consecutive baskets from Watson, the last of which doubled up the Husker lead at 54-27 with 13:05 left.

SCOUTING MISSISSIPPI VALLEY STATEUnder fifth-year Head Coach Andre Payne, Mississippi Valley State looks to rebound after going 4-28 last season. The

Delta Devils return eight letterwinners, including four players who made at least 13 starts last year. Before taking over the MVSU program, Payne spent seven seasons at Wiley College, an NAIA program in Texas. He guided the school to three 20-win seasons, including a 25-7 mark in his final year at the school.

Nebraska won the only previous matchup, a 97-51 victory to open the 2015-16 season. Glynn Watson Jr., Tanner

Borchardt and Johnny Trueblood are the only Huskers who played in that matchup.

WHAT'S BACK FOR THE BIG REDThe Huskers enter the 2018-19 season welcoming back three starters and nine letterwinners from a team that went

22-11 and finished tied for fourth in the Big Ten with a 13-5 mark.

10.5)forthefirsttimesincethe1992-93season(EricPiatkowski,14.3;DerrickChandler,12.3;JamarJohnson,11.2).InTimMiles' first six seasons, the Huskers returned a total of six double-figure scorers. During the 1992-93 season, the Huskers won 20 games and finished tied for second in the Big Eight Conference. With the return of junior Isaiah Roby, Nebraska brings back its top-four scorers for the first time since the 2003-04 campaign.

50-50 CLUBJunior forward Isaiah Roby is one of only two returning power conference players to total 50 blocks and 50 assists last

season, joining Missouri’s Jontay Porter, who will miss the 2018-19 season with a torn ACL. Roby led the Huskers in blocked shots and was fourth in assists despite starting just 13 contests. Roby is also one of four Huskers to ever have 50 blocks and 50 assists in a season, joining Aleks Maric, Venson Hamilton and Rich King.

WATSON RETURNS AS 1,000-POINT SCORERFor just the second time this decade, Nebraska returns a 1,000-point

scorer to the lineup, as Glynn Watson Jr. enters his senior year with 1,041 career points. It is the 10th time in program history that the Huskers had a returning 1,000-point scorer and the first since Shavon Shields in the 2015-16 campaign. Watson is one of two Huskers with 1,000 career points, as Isaac Copeland enters his senior year with 1,053 career points between his time at Georgetown and Nebraska. James Palmer Jr. is just 174 points away from joining the 1,000-point club. Nebraska 3,432 returning points ranks 13th nationally entering the

2018-19 season. Among Big Ten programs, only Iowa, which 4,246 returning points has more points returning that the Big Red. Watson is one of three alumni of St. Joseph to reach 1,000 points at

Nebraska,joiningCarlHayes(1,136,1990-92)andCliffordScales(1,136,1988-91). Watson is also ninth on NU’s career steals list with 137 and needs 74 assists to crack the Huskers’ career top-10 list in

that category.

In all, nearly 15,000 season tickets have been sold for the 2018-19 season, including the Red Zone student section.

Since moving into PBA in 2013-14, the Huskers have ranked in the top-15 in attendance nationally all five years, and are one of only nine schools in the country to average 15,000+ fans per contest in that span.

PROTECTING THE VAULTThe Huskers have been strong at protecting its home court at Pinnacle Bank

Arena since it opened in 2013-14. NU begins the 2018-19 season with the longest home winning streak among

power conference schools and the ninth-longest home win streak in Division I. With a win over Mississippi Valley State, Nebraska would tie its longest

winning streak since moving into Pinnacle Bank Arena. NU won 12 straight between Jan. 20-Nov. 18, 2014. NUhasposteda59-24(.711)recordinPinnacleBankArenasinceitopened

then-No. 13 Kansas on Dec. 16. NU's .941 home winning percentage is the best since the 1982-83 campaign, while the 16 home wins was one shy of the school record. Nebraska went a perfect 9-0 at home in Big Ten play and won its two Big Ten home games against ranked teams

by an average of 15.0 points per game. NU's 9-0 mark - the only unbeaten mark in the Big Ten - marked the first time the Huskers went unbeaten in conference play at home since the 1965-66 season. All of the other eight seasons with a perfect conference home record were between 1908 and 1921.

GATES JOINS HUSKER STAFFThe only new face on the Husker bench is a familiar one to Big Ten fans, as Armon Gates joined the Husker coaching

staff this past May. Gates, a native of Chicago, returns to the Big Ten after recently serving as associate head coach at the University of Florida under Mike White. Gates has coached and developed all-conference performers at three schools during his coaching career.

A proven program builder who has enjoyed success at the Division I, Division II and NAIA levels, Tim Miles was named the 27th basketball coach at the University of Nebraska on March 24, 2012. He is believed to be the only active coach who has made national tournament appearances at four-year schools at the Division I, Division II and NAIA levels.

In 2017-18, Miles guided Nebraska to one of its most successful seasons in school history. The Huskers won 22 games, a total which ranks second on school charts. Nebraska went 13-5 in the Big Ten, breaking a school mark for conference wins which had stood for more than five decades. James Palmer Jr. and Isaac Copeland Jr. both earned All-Big Ten honors, while Palmer also captured first-team all-district honors by the NABC and the USBWA.

During the 2016-17 season, the Huskers won a pair of games over ranked teams, including Big Ten regular-season champion Purdue, as they played 20 games against teams which reached postseason play. In 2015-16, Miles guided a youthful Husker team to 16 wins against a schedule featuring 11 ranked opponents. Shavon Shields repeated as a first-team Academic All-American and was a second-team All-Big Ten pick.

In 2014-15, the Huskers garnered their first national ranking since 1995 and enjoyed record-setting attendance numbers, establishing a school-record attendance of 15,569 fans per game to rank 10th nationally. Terran Petteway earned All-Big Ten honors for the second straight year and earned an invitation to training camp with the Atlanta Hawks.

In 2013-14, Miles was named Big Ten Coach of the Year and Jim Phalen National Coach of the Year after guiding the Huskers to an 11-7 Big Ten mark and a fourth-place finish after the team was picked to finish 12th in the preseason. NU’s 11 conference wins were its highest total since 1965-66, while the fourth-place finish was the Huskers’ best since 1997-98. Miles became the first Husker coach to garner conference coach-of-the-year accolades since 1991 after guiding the Huskers to their first NCAA appearance in 16 years.

Before taking over the Nebraska program, Miles spent the previous five seasons building the Colorado State program. He increased his victory total in each of his five years at CSU, culminating in a 20-12 record and the school’s first NCAA appearance in nine seasons during his final year in Fort Collins. After winning 16 games in his first two years, his teams went 55-41 over the last three years, reaching postseason play in each campaign.

The 2011-12 Rams posted the school’s first 20-win season since 1997-98 while playing a schedule that was rated as the fourth-toughest in the country. Colorado State set a school record with three wins over ranked teams and placed three players on the All-Mountain West teams, and Miles was named the District VIII Coach of the Year by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association for his efforts. The Rams, one of four Mountain West teams to receive bids in the 2012 NCAA Tournament, averaged 70.1 points per game on the season and topped the Mountain West Conference infield-goalpercentage(47.1),3-pointpercentage(40.0)andfreethrowpercentage(76.8).

With 24 years of experience as a head coach at five institutions, he has compiled a career record of 380-317 that includes three conference championships and eight postseason tournament appearances, including NU's 2017-18 NIT appearance.

Before taking over the Colorado State program, Miles spent six seasons at North Dakota State, guiding the Bison through the transition to the Division I ranks. He won at least 16 games in each of his final five seasons at the school, including the program’s first three years at the Division I level. Miles’ tenure at NDSU was highlighted by a pair of road wins over top-15 squadsinhisfinaltwoseasons.

Miles showed his ability to turn around programs during his tenure at Southwest Minnesota State University. He took a program that had only one winning season in the previous decade and went 78-39 in his four seasons at the school, recorded the first 20-win season in school history, and led Southwest Minnesota State to its first back-to-back winning seasons in more than two decades.

MilesbeganhisheadcoachingcareeratMayville(N.D.)StateUniversity,guidingtheprogramtoa35-22recordfrom1995to 1997 and a pair of conference titles. He began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Northern State for six seasons from 1989-90 through 1994-95 and helped the Wolves to five NAIA playoff appearances and five regional titles. He was the recruiting coordinator for NSU and was responsible for bringing in and coaching five All-Americans at that school.

A native of Doland, S.D., he graduated from the University of Mary in Bismarck, N.D., in 1989 and earned a master’s degree in health and physical education from Northern State in Aberdeen, S.D., in 1990. He was inducted into the University of Mary Athletic Hall of Fame in 2007.
