Nebraska Boys Basketball Rankings 12/8

Opening weekend had everything, including buzzer beaters, ranked matchups, and big upsets. As we look ahead to the first full week of games, let’s hope that this week(and the rest of the season) can live up to this first week. There is reason to think that this season will be a lot of fun and competitive because of how close a lot of these teams are, as reflected in these rankings.
