Get to Know Christopher Niemann

Junior Christopher Niemann has been a regular in the Huskers' rotation, appearing in 21 games so far this season. The 6-foot-11 center has overcome a trio of knee surgeries, including a pair of torn ACLs, to return to action. This season, he is averaging over a rebound per game in six minutes of action per game while adding six points.
