The Bulldogs, who are 7-4 on the season, hosted South Alabama on Friday night before coming to Lincoln. Padgett, who played on Kentucky’s 1998 NCAA title team, was an all-SEC performer and spent eight seasons in the NBA before getting into coaching. Padgett served as an assistant coach at Kentucky, Manhattan and Samford before taking over the Bulldog program in 2014. After going 13-19 in his first season, Samford has been competitive with its only losses coming at Louisville, at Texas and a one-point loss against Austin Peay. Samford returns two starters and eight letterwinners from that team and are led by Darius Jones-Gibson, who was an All-Southern Conference performer in 2014-15. The 6-foot-2 guard averages a team-high 15.8 points and 2.4 assists per game. Sophomore point guard Christen Cunningham is also back and averaged 14.7 points and a team-high 3.3 assists per game. Freshman Matt Rose averages 9.5 points per game and is shooting 45 percent from 3-point range. He earned SoCon Player of the Week honors after scoring 17 points in a win at Florida A&M. Sunday’s meeting between the Huskers and Samford is the first meeting between the schools, and marks the third of four games against first-time opponents. Nebraska is 9-1 against the current members of the Southern Conference and the first matchup against a member of the conference since a 77-62 win over The Citadel on Dec. 21, 2013.
