Husker Q and A: Jordan Tyrance

After walking on to the Husker basketball program, Jordan Tyrance has become a valuable member of the Huskers' rotation this season.

The sophomore guard from Lincoln Southwest has played in 13 games this year and has averaged nearly 11 minutes per game over the last five games. Tyrance enjoyed a career night against Purdue earlier this season, setting career highs in both points (10) and rebounds (seven).  

Jordan took a few minutes earlier this week to answer our questions for the lone Lincoln native on the Husker roster.
