 Luca Virgilio — world traveler, Rome native — knew very little about the American Midwest.

 

So soon after he was contacted by Fred Hoiberg about moving to Lincoln and becoming his director of operations, Virgilio went on Google.

 

“I typed in, ‘What to expect Lincoln, Nebraska,’ ” Virgilio said through a thick Italian accent from his new office at the Hendricks Training Complex.

 

The first link that popped up was a short clip from “Yes Man.” In the movie, Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel take an impromptu trip to Lincoln. There are shots of a pioneer museum and Carrey and Deschanel at a Husker football game in the front row painted in red. The trip ends with the two taking refuge in a barn during a storm.

 

“I thought, ‘Well, that looks fun,’ ” Virgilio said.

 

So, like Carrey, Virgilio said yes.
