Meet the Opponent: Nebraska Hosts Indiana as Big Ten Play Resumes
Jan 1, 2024 12:00 AM
After winning just 40 total games in coach Fred Hoiberg's first four seasons, Nebraska is on pace for its best season in years with an 11-2 record as Big Ten play resumes. Here's a breakdown of the Cornhuskers.
Indiana resumes Big Ten play Wednesday at Nebraska, which is putting together by far its best season under coach Fred Hoiberg.
The Hoosiers enter the game 10-3 overall, plus an important 2-0 in Big Ten play with wins over Maryland and at Michigan. Nebraska was a Big Ten bottom-feeder the first four seasons with Hoiberg, but that could change this year. The Cornhuskers are 11-2, already having won more games than each of the first three seasons with Hoiberg.
Tipoff between the Hoosiers and Cornhuskers is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET.
