The Nebraska men's basketball team will host Doane University on Sunday for an exhibition at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
Fred Hoiberg met with the media this morning and gave an update on what his roster currently looks like. Along with it were some updates on a few key guys. Rienk Mast, Juwan Gary, Josiah Allick, Blaise Keita and Ramel Lloyd Jr. won't play against Doane.
>> Hoiberg said Mast won't play because he was "the unfortunate victim of a random act of violence that happened last week." Hoiberg said the authorities are still investigating and that's all he would say about it at this time,
>> Gary is out due to a violation of team policies. Hoiberg didn't say if Sunday was going to be the only suspension.
>> Allick tweaked a knee last week in the closed-door scrimmage against Utah. Hoiberg said scans came back negative for any kind of structural damage. They'll be cautious with Allick and won't play him.
>> Keita still isn't ready for action because of his ankle.
>> Lloyd still hasn't recovered from an injury he sustained in practice a while back. Hoiberg said he's progressing.
I'll have much more later today. But that's it for now. I think we'll have Jamarques Lawrence and Boogie Coleman as the players who speak with us.
