I feel like this game will come down to who rebounds the basketball more cause both teams will have problems creating offense...
What Nebraska has been doing very well in Conference Play..
-Creating Possessions they typically create about 77 chances to score a game.. that leads the Big Ten
-Nebraska has been decent rebounding the basketball since conference play at about 34 rebounds at game
What Indiana has been doing very well in Conference Play..
-They get to the line about decent amount of times (middle of the big ten at getting to the line), but they hit their FT's 2nd best in the league.
-They Rebound the Ball extremely well in conference play at total 54 boards a game and ranks 2nd in the league on the offensive glass as well
Indiana Wins if they can limit Nebraskas chances to score and protect the basketball. the thing is its always difficult for a road team to go into an opposing teams arena and try to slow down the pace of the game..
Nebraska wins if Indiana continues to turn the ball over like they have been in conference causing them to play right into Nebraska's strengths of creating possessions.
