We roll them, Hoosiers and Huskers have traded places. They are a football school and we are now a BB school. I got really depressed typing this.
This will be a tough one for sure. IU is a lot like Ohio St. They're athletic and can shoot very well but are another Jekyll & Hyde. They play very good D but can play down to their opponent and go into zombie mode.
I have been to Assembly Hall for a few games and it can get loud as hell. But don't let anyone tell you differently; their fans get up for Purdue, Duke, Kentucky, UNC, etc... but not Nebraska. If Nebraska takes the lead and IU gets frustrated, this will be a very quiet arena.
I'm thinking this will be the first L for Nebraska.

I think Nebraska had a few days to regroup and they're due to shoot better than they have in awhile. I have to give MSU and OSU credit for their physicality, but we can definitely play better on offense than we did in those games.
NU has played themselves into a great spot. Nothing to lose here - it’s a Quad 1 game so there is only upside. Looking at the schedule before the season, I thought NU could be looking at a 1-4 or even 0-5 start in conference play. No worse than 4-1 is fantastic.
If we’re going to lose one I can see this being a close loss looking at our schedule, other wise I see the trip to Minneapolis being difficult right before the Meechigan game.
If that happens, the Bobby Knight/Tom Osborne days will officially be over.
Looking like Nebraska has met themselves in Indiana! Tough defense, great movement on offense. Got Nebraska stressed on offense. Lawrence looking like the version of himself from 2 seasons ago.
This will be telling, team under pressure will everyone pick it up or will they just look to Mast to save them.
No, they’ve been fine. They did miss an obvious ten second call on IU though.
Only one to mention refs is you. Sheesh Illinois fans on a NU basketball thread. Just like Iowa fans
Indiana is very handsy on defense, knocking our guys off balance and disrupting our offense.
We’ve got to be able to handle that. Big Ten style of play isn’t like that and why Big Ten teams struggle in the NCAA tournament. Check out some Big East games there is always a lot of contact.
I can't find my remote to change it!
Probably still under one of the 3 super models that are in my bed from last night.
Not sure they can come all the way back, but this is the kind of fight that’s been sorely missing from past teams.
You've been WRONG a lot lately. You okay?
