College Basketball Crown Champs 👑 @HuskerMBB x @CBBCrown
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are the first ever champions of the College Basketball Crown.
What a week for Nebraska in Vegas as the Huskers beat UCF 77-66 to win the College Basketball Crown. Juwan Gary, Brice Williams and Connor Essegian all had 20+ point games. Great offensive balance. Fred Hoiberg’s team ends the year with a title. Pretty awesome for @HuskerMBB.
