After Nebraska raced to a 13-3 lead Friday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena, Indiana had an answer. The Hoosiers took the lead at 20-19 on a pair of Malik Reneau free throws with 11:37 to play in the first half and extended it to four on a Luke Goode 3-pointer at the 11:09 mark. Perimeter shooting had a big hand in Indiana getting back in the game. The Hoosiers splashed three triples during their 20-6 run to grab the lead. After Indiana led 35-32 on an Oumar Ballo jumper, the Huskers closed the half on a 12-6 run to grab a 44-41 halftime cushion. The Huskers shot a scorching 65.2 percent in the first half, including a 5-for-7 mark (71.4 percent) on 3s and scored 1.23 points per possession. Indiana didn’t shoot as well as Nebraska, but limited its turnover (four) and got to the line 14 times and posted a solid 1.14 points per possession in the opening 20 minutes.
