Nebraska combined sightseeing and basketball Monday, visiting Vatican City and later winning a game
as part of their trip to Italy.

Coach Fred Hoiberg’s team built a 47-28 halftime lead en route to an 87-56 win over Stella Azzura Academy in Rome. Jervay Green had 15 points and all 12 Huskers who suited up got into the scoring column.

Nebraska will do more touring in Rome Tuesday before heading to Florence for another game Wednesday.
