Morgan’s double-double, Essegian’s 5 3s help Nebraska beat Murray St. 66-49 at Diamond Head Classic

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! HONOLULU — Andrew Morgan scored 12 points and grabbed a season-high 12 rebounds, Connor Essegian hit five 3-pointers and added 15 points Sunday night and Nebraska beat Murray State 66-49 at the Diamond Head Classic. Kylen Milton made back-to-back 3s, was fouled and the second and hit the and-1 free throw to complete the four-point play to cut Murray State’s deficit to 11 a little more than a minute later. Essegian answered with a 3-pointer 24 seconds later and then hit another from behind as the Cornhuskers scored 12 of the final 15 points to take a 34-14 lead into halftime. Milton led Murray State with 19 points on 7-of-15 shooting — including a high-flying dunk along the baseline with a little more than 10 minutes to play.
