Huskers Draw Indiana In Big Ten Quarterfinal


It’ll be Round 3 between Nebraska and Indiana on Friday night in the Big Ten Tournament.

The Hoosiers outlasted Penn State 61-59 on Thursday night in a second-round game of the conference tournament inside the Target Center in Minneapolis.

Nebraska and Indiana played twice in the regular season, with the Huskers winning both contests: 86-70 on January 3 in Lincoln and 85-70 on February 21 in Bloomington, which marked Nebraska’s first Big Ten road win.

The game Friday night will be televised on the Big Ten Network and is slated to tip off at around 8 p.m.

Indiana will enter the game riding a five-game win streak. The Hoosiers were without starting guard Trey Galloway on Thursday, but got double-digit scoring efforts from three players, including 7-footer Kel’el Ware (18 points, 10 rebounds), Malik Reneau (12 points, eight rebounds) and Mackenzie Mgbako (11 points, five rebounds).

Both teams struggled offensively, with Indiana shooting 39.3% from the field and 25% from 3-point range (3-of-12) while Penn State was at 27.6% and 25.9% from 3 (7-of-27).
