Reserve DJ McDonald scored a career-high 15 points, Dragan Elkaz added 14 and George Willborn III had 13 as UC Riverside upset Nebraska 66-47 to spoil Fred Hoiberg’s coaching debut with the Cornhuskers.

The Big West’s Highlanders, who went 10-23 last season and have had one winning season since joining Division I in 2000, won for the first time over a Power Five opponent since beating California in November 2017.

Nebraska lost a season opener at home for the first time since 1980.
