Keisei Tominaga led all Nebraska players with 11 points in just 16 minutes on the floor. Guard C.J.

The Huskers have had one of the country's worst scoring defenses this season, and opponents have averaged 79.2 points against them this season. If there is one thing Nebraska has been reasonably successful at, it's been creating turnovers, and the Huskers average 7.8 steals per game. Verge has been the team's best defender on that front, and averages 1.5 steals per contest.
Indiana came up short against the Iowa Hawkeyes this past Thursday, 83-74. Jackson-Davis posted a double-double in the losing effort on 18 points and 11 rebounds in addition to five blocks. Forward Race Thompson also had a decent showing with 13 points, five rebounds and two assists. Guard Trey Galloway pitched in with 10 points off the bench, but it wasn't enough to close the gap on Iowa.
Indiana has been one of the nation's best rebounding teams this season, collecting 39.9 per game. The Hoosiers have been particularly effective on the defensive glass, and have the country's fifth-best average of 30.4 defensive boards. Jackson-Davis is the team's leading rebounder, but Thompson also has been effective, with 7.6 total rebounds per outing.
