huskeraddict Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 January 30, 2014 7:15pm CT - BTN Pinnacle Bank Arena (15,147) - Lincoln, NE Indiana Hoosiers 13-7, 3-4 (Last: W 56-46 vs Illinois) vs Nebraska Cornhuskers 10-9, 2-5 (Last: W 82-78 vs Minnesota) Big Ten Standings #10 Michigan 7-0, 15-4 #7 Michigan State 8-1, 19-2 #15 Iowa 5-3, 16-5 #14 Wisconsin 4-4, 17-4 Minnesota 4-4, 15-6 Northwestern 4-5, 11-11 Indiana 3-4, 13-7 Purdue 3-4, 13-7 #24 Ohio State 3-5, 16-5 Nebraska 2-5, 10-9 Illinois 2-6, 13-8 Penn State 2-6, 11-10 Head Coaches Indiana Tom Crean (277-185, 97-86 at Indiana) Nebraska Tim Miles (308-247, 25-27 at Nebraska) Injury Report Indiana No injuries to report Nebraska No injuries to report Scouting Indiana Indiana comes to Lincoln with a 13-7 record following a 56-46 win over Illinois on Sunday. Under fifth-year head coach Tom Crean, the Hoosiers are a different team than the 2012-13 squad which featured two NBA Lottery picks and won the Big Ten regular-season title. The Hoosiers returned just one starter from a 29-7 squad that reached the NCAA Sweet 16. Indiana has been up and down in conference play, including a win over then-unbeaten and No. 3 Wisconsin before falling at Northwestern at home four days later. While Indiana averages 76.3 points per game, the Hoosiers’ strength is a defense which holds teams to under 40 percent shooting, while IU out-rebounds teams by a conference best 11.1 boards per game. Sophomore point guard Yogi Ferrell is one of the Big Ten’s top performers, as he averages a team-high 17.5 points along with 4.0 assists per game to rank in the top 10 in the Big Ten in both categories. Ferrell also shoots better than 40 percent from 3-point range for the Hoosiers. Noah Vonleh is one of the front runners for Big Ten Freshman of the year, as the 6-foot-10 forward averages 12.0 points and a Big Ten leading 9.6 rebounds per game. He leads the Big Ten with eight double-doubles on the season. Senior forward Will Sheehey is the third Hoosier in double figures, as he averages 10.1 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. This is the third matchup between Crean and Nebraska Coach Tim Miles. In addition to last year’s meeting in Bloomington, Miles’ North Dakota State team upset eighth-ranked Marquette, 64-60, in the championship game of the 2006 Blue and Gold Classic in Milwaukee. 2 Quote Link to comment

Foppa Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I don't think there's anyone on the schedule that this team can't beat at home. Hope they get it done GBR! Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Vonleh could have a monster game. Pitchford and Smith need to stay out of foul trouble Quote Link to comment

huskeraddict Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 NU is simply getting beat going back on the defensive side. Indiana is rushing the ball up the floor before we're even close to set. Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Does Shields think he's Biggs? Please pass the ball! Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 This team is playing the exact opposite from last game. We shouldn't be playing like this at home like we did at PSU. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Messy, messy game. Quote Link to comment
