About The Event

SCOUTING INDIANA
Indiana enters Saturday’s game with an 11-3 mark following a seven-point win at Rutgers on Wednesday. The Hoosiers have won six straight since a loss at Duke on Dec. 2, including a win over Notre Dame in the Crossroads Classic in Indianapolis. The Hoosiers’ other two losses came against Wake Forest and UNLV in the Maui Invitational.

Indiana returned four starters and nine letterwinners from a team that went 20-14 before losing to Wichita State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Under eighth-year coach Tom Crean, Indiana has the Big Ten’s top offensive attack, leading the conference in points per game (88.4), field goal percentage (.533) and 3-point percentage (.449) while ranking fourth in rebounding (+7.8 per game).

Senior point guard Yogi Ferrell is one of the Big Ten’s top performers, as he averages 16.4 points and 6.0 assists per game to rank in the top six in both categories. He is one of four Indiana players averaging double figures. Troy Williams averages 13.6 points and a team-high 6.9 rebounds per game, while freshman Thomas Bryant averages 11.5 points on 72 percent shooting and 4.9 caroms per game. The Hoosiers may be without one of their top players, as James Blackmon Jr. (15.7 ppg, 4.2 rpg) missed the Rutgers game with an injury and his status is undetermined.

SERIES HISTORY
Nebraska and Indiana meet for the 15th time on Saturday, and sixth since the Huskers joined the Big Ten. Indiana leads the all-time series, 10-4, but Nebraska has won three of the five meetings since joining the conference. Indiana won the only meeting of 2015-16, and the teams will meet again in Bloomington on Feb. 17.

Last Meeting: Nebraska erased a 16-point first-half deficit, but could not complete the comeback, as the Huskers lost a hard-fought battle to Indiana, 70-65, in the 2014-15 Big Ten Conference opener. Nebraska used a 26-6 run to take a 46-42 lead with 15:38 left after a Walter Pitchford 3-pointer. With the score deadlocked at 49, Indiana used a 12-3 run to take a nine-point lead and never trailed again. Terran Petteway had a game-high 23 points for Nebraska, while Shavon Shields added 20 points. Robert Johnson led three Hoosiers in double figures with 14 points, while Mosquera-Perea tied his career high with 12 points and posted a double-double by adding 10 rebounds.
