At Pinnacle Bank Arena, it was a showcase of offensive efficiency for the Indiana Hoosiers as they dominated the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The visitors displayed remarkable shooting accuracy throughout the game, converting 61 percent of their field goals and matching that percentage from three-point range by sinking 14 three-pointers. Inside the paint was no different for Indiana as they tallied up 38 points.
The team's ball distribution was on point with a total of 22 assists leading to scores. This teamwork helped maintain their lead and kept turnovers low at just 14 for the game.
