In their last game against the Fighting Hawks, Nebraska demonstrated offensive prowess by putting up 83 points and shooting 46 percent from the field. Their two-point attempts were particularly effective with a 58 percent success rate. They also showed defensive strength with seven steals and capitalized on turnovers, scoring 20 points off them.


The game prior to that saw Nebraska outmaneuvering Kansas State Wildcats with a solid defense that included four blocks and seven steals while maintaining an assist-to-turnover ratio of over one. Despite shooting only 35 percent from the field, they managed to secure a win by keeping their turnovers low (14) and maximizing second-chance points (16).


Against Michigan State Spartans, Nebraska's shooting was even more impressive; they shot 50 percent from the field and an exceptional 44 percent from beyond the arc. Their free-throw accuracy was also notable at 87 percent.


These statistics suggest that Nebraska is finding its rhythm both offensively and defensively as they head into this challenging away game. Fans can expect them to leverage their recent successes in shooting efficiency and turnover management when they take on Indiana.


The upcoming game is scheduled for February 22nd at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, IN. It will be broadcast nationally on BTN channel 610 starting at 1:30 AM UTC (February 21st local time). Fans should be ready for what promises to be an exciting contest as these two teams battle it out on court.
