Seniors Juwan Gary and Brice Williams will join Coach Fred Hoiberg at Big Ten Basketball Media Day Presented by TIAA on Thursday. Coach Hoiberg and the Husker players will meet with local, regional and national media in preparation for the 2024-25 season.
The Big Ten Network will have seven hours of coverage on Thursday. B1G Live: Men’s Basketball Coaches Roundtable will be from 9-11 a.m. (central), as Dave Revsine and Rick Pizzo will interview all 18 coaches in six panel discussions. Hoiberg will join USC’s Eric Musselman and Indiana’s Mike Woodson at 10 a.m. (central).
Revsine, Pizzo and analysts Rapheal Davis, Andy Katz, Bruce Weber and Don MacLean will be joined at the BTN set by the coaches and student athletes on B1G Live: Men’s Basketball Media Day Special from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Nebraska contingent will be on the broadcast at 1:15 p.m. (central).
Gary is entering his third season as a starter for the Huskers and has played a major role in the Huskers’ success the past two seasons. Last year, Gary played in 28 games, including 20 starts, and averaged 11.6 points per game on 50 percent shooting and 6.1 rebounds per game. The 6-foot-6 forward has made a name for himself as one of the Big Ten’s best defensive players as he helped NU rank in the top 50 nationally in defensive efficiency in 2023-24. Gary topped NU in both blocks and steals and ranked second on the Huskers with five double-doubles in 2023-24.
Williams enters his second season at Nebraska after starting all 34 games a year ago, as Nebraska won 23 games and reached the NCAA Tournament. The 6-foot-7 guard averaged 13.4 points, 5.5 points, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game, ranking second on the team in scoring, steals and blocked shots and third in both rebounds and assists per game. Williams closed the season with a flourish, averaging 23.3 ppg on 50 percent shooting in the Huskers’ three postseason games, as he closed the year with three straight 20-point efforts. Williams has scored over 1,250 points in his college career, which included three seasons at Charlotte.
The BTN broadcast will also be available on the Fox Sport app. Additional coverage will be on Nebraska men’s basketball social media channels (HuskerMBB on X and Instagram) and via the Big Ten Network’s X, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram platforms.
