LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Thorir Thorbjarnarson announced Friday he will skip his extra season of eligibility at Nebraska and pursue a professional basketball career.
The guard from Reykjavik, Iceland, started 43 of his 93 games since 2017 and had career averages of 4.8 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. He had his best season in 2019-20, when he scored 8.8 points a game and shot 37% on 3-pointers.
