Nebraska WBB vs Indiana Preview

The Husker women return to Lincoln to host the Hoosiers on Sunday

Before this season started, I expected Indiana to be a team that faced a rebuilding year. The Hoosiers won the WNIT in 2018, but lost their best players to graduation. Well, I was wrong. A few weeks ago, Indiana was ranked in the polls. A two-game losing streak (and losing four of their last five) has knocked them out of that list, but they are a formidable team nonetheless.

The Huskers are coming off their most complete game, by far, of this season in a 20 point demolition of the Boilermakers. Hannah Whitish was unstoppable in that game. If Purdue sagged off her to take away passing lanes, she swished a three-pointer. If they came up to take away the shot, she found the open Husker for a basket. Her first career double double came courtesy of 28 points and 12(!!) assists. When your point guard is shooting AND dealing, everything just looks so much smoother.

Both teams sit at 5-5 in the B1G (tied for 7th). The winner of this game puts themselves in a much more favorable position in a tightly packed conference. Momentum favors the Huskers, but the Hoosiers are one of the best three point shooting teams in the conference while being the best at defending the three. In other words, they can score points in a hurry when they go on a run.
