From another site: :Redface:

KenPom Analysis: Indiana is a well rounded team. Their elite eFG% is built on transition offense and running into the paint, a couple of things Nebraska can possibly slow down. In theory this a team where you can go after offensive rebounds but you have to wonder if we'll bail back on defense like the Creighton game. Nebraska's ball handling will be a big concern in this one.

Rutgers double-teamed TJD and dared Indiana to make 3s in the RAC which led to a 63-48 loss. Hangover? Maybe. Will they come back on Wednesday geeked up for Nebraska? Maybe though maybe not if some of the guys are already thinking ahead to playing Arizona in Vegas.

Defensively, I'd also expect Nebraska to make Indiana beat them from outside though they'll find Indiana to be more committed to scoring inside than Creighton. Nebraska fans tend to get into 'here we go again' ruts about certain things. One of those things is guys breaking out of shooting slumps which is very likely to happen tonight because Indiana has several guys in slumps who likely will take shots. To me, having the guys who don't normally take shots seems like a sound strategy, right?

Speaking of offense, I think you'll see Nebraska try and attack from outside as a tall team like Indiana isn't going to give Griesel great post looks and Walker likely won't push TJD straight under the basket. We'll probably need good shooting nights from guys like Wilcher and/or Keisei to pull out a win. Will be interesting to see what the Huskers do on the offensive boards as you can find them vs the Hoosiers who will punish aggressiveness in transition.

I think on the right night Indiana could win this game by 20 but I think Nebraska will show up most games and I don't think Indiana is overly concerned about this one.

Prediction: Indiana 68 - Nebraska 59
