LINCOLN, Neb. — Keisei Tominaga already is one of the most popular players in his home country. The exuberant sharpshooter known as the 'Japanese Steph Curry' also is building a big fan following at Nebraska in what otherwise has been another dismal season for the Cornhuskers. Coach Fred Hoiberg says Tominaga's celebrations after he makes long 3-pointers also bring joy to his teammates. Tominaga is averaging better than 16 points since he joined the starting lineup. He has scored a combined 54 points his last two games and is among the Big Ten's top players the past two weeks.
