  • The Kansas transfer etched his name in program history, becoming the first Terp since Nik Caner-Medley in 2006 with back-to-back 30-point games and setting an XFINITY Center record in points with a career-high 43 bomb in a 96-73 win over Penn State.
  • In that game, he came out hot, scoring 30 first-half points and outscoring the entire Nittany Lion roster, who had just 26. Team of the Week: Nebraska Cornhuskers The Nebraska Cornhuskers remain one of (if not the) the most surprising stories in the nation.
  • The Huskers have achieved their highest AP poll ranking ever, reaching No.
  • 7 in the country as they continue their undefeated season with dominant wins over Oregon and Northwestern.
