In 123 years of Nebraska men's basketball, no Husker has officially produced a triple-double.
 
Sophomore transfer Cam Mack looks like a player who could be the first to accomplish that feat, and maybe the second.
 
Maybe more.
 
We heard about his 17 points, six assists and six rebounds in Saturday's closed scrimmage with Wichita State, but fans got to see Mack and the Huskers in action for the first time Wednesday, when Nebraska defeated Doane 91-62 in an exhibition game.
 
In just 22 minutes, Mack tallied eight assists and seven rebounds, and although he scored only five points, scoring certainly won't be a problem for the 6-foot-2 guard.
 
"He brings a lot to the table," said Nebraska junior guard Dachon Burke Jr., who led the Huskers with 15 points. "He is very versatile, and he can push the ball. He can do a little bit of everything. It is fun playing with him and he gets me going. I like playing with him."
 
After a jittery start for Nebraska – the Huskers fell behind 10-2 – Mack took over the game offensively, leading the Huskers in transition and delivering crisp passes. That sparked a 37-7 run.
 
Hoiberg has repeatedly said Mack is perhaps the fastest guard he's been around.
 
"Cam just brings a whole different element to our team," Hoiberg said. "He's extremely fast with the ball. If there's a seam to attack, he hits that seam with great pace. He's a very good decision maker, once he gets in there, guys benefit playing with him."
 
Mack, who was hospitalized with a digestive issue over the summer that caused him to miss the Huskers' tour in Italy, has just begun to regain his strength and weight.
 
"You can really see him starting to take off," Hoiberg said.
 
Nebraska, which shot 52.9 percent, scored 91 points despite 11-of-24 shooting on free throws and 28 percent shooting (8-of-28) on three-pointers. Both of those numbers will assuredly improve. The biggest question for Hoiberg's first team will be holding its own on the boards; the Huskers outrebounded a smaller Doane team 49-37, with Kevin Cross grabbing a team-best 10 rebounds.
 
In addition to the obvious – keeping opponents from having second chances – rebounding is essential for a Nebraska team because it plays to its biggest strength, which is scoring in transition.
 
"We have to rebound, that is the main thing," junior guard Thorir Thorbjarnarson said. "Even though the other team scores, we have to get it out quick, and we want to run as fast as we can. Rebound, and just putting your head down when you get scored on."
 
Nebraska begins the regular season Tuesday night against UC-Riverside at Pinnacle Bank Arena. The women's basketball teams hosts Rogers State on Saturday in its lone exhibition game before opening the regular season at noon Wednesday against Alabama A&M.
