Corn Flakes: Big Week of Husker Sports Ahead

Happy Thanksgiving Week!

I’m excited for this last day of school and then ready to be onto the holiday.

Husker sports have a fun week of games coming.

First on Wednesday night the undefeated men’s basketball team will host Duquesne.

Then the women take on Lamar on Thanksgiving.

Black Friday comes with the Husker football team’s last chance to extend their season as they play Iowa at 11 and at 3 will be the epic rematch of the Huskers vs the Wisconsin Badgers in volleyball. Also on Friday at 4 is the Nebraska Women’s soccer team’s elite eight game against Stanford.

The action continues on Saturday with the Husker Women’s basketball team playing TCU at 12 and the volleyball team finishes the regular season against Minnesota at 8.

This exciting week of sports gets rounded out on Sunday when the men’s basketball team faces Cal State Fullerton at 1.

So if you are in for a sports watching weekend, you’ve got your pick of games.

Now here are your flakes.
