Shavon Shields is one of Nebraska’s best players, a 6-foot-6 wing that averaged 12.8 points and 5.8 boards as a sophomore.

He’s also one of Avery Harriman’s biggest fans, as his father, Chris Harriman, an assistant coach for the Huskers, showcased on Sunday night. Shields shaved his head in support of Avery, a seven-year old that lost his hair while undergoing his third battle with leukemia:
