Matar Diop - Plays six minutesDiop logged three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one block across his six minutes during Nebraska's 84-52 win Monday against Lindenwood.

ImpactDiop began playing college basketball Monday. However, him logging fewer than seven minutes then is not promising for his future output across Nebraska's 2023-24 season. Juwan Gary (suspension) and Blaise Keita (ankle) were both out Monday. Even though two non-freshmen of the Cornhuskers' frontcourt did not play, Diop recorded a minute tally too little to be promising unless they are affected by more unavailability.

ImpactWilliams converted 4-of-11 attempts from the field on route to a 13-point finish against Lindenwood. The 6-foot-7 junior from Charlotte put his scoring ability on display in his Nebraska debut, finishing as one-of-five Cornhuskers to reach double digits. Williams will look to improve upon his shooting numbers during Thursday's matchup with Florida A&M.

Ramel Lloyd - Ruled out for openerLloyd (knee) will not be available for Monday's game against Lindenwood, Robin Washut of Rivals.com reports.

ImpactLloyd has been able to do some non-contact work in practice but is still not fully cleared from a knee injury. The redshirt freshman is hoping to potentially crack the rotation this season, but this knee injury is making that task more difficult.
