FIRST HALF

Media timeout called with 14:47 left, and Nebraska still leads 17-10.

• Rice with a few steals on the defensive end leading to a bucket and an assist. No signs of anything bothering him health-wise.

Nebraska ahead 13-3 with 16:50 left in the first.

• Horrible start on the defensive end for the Hoosiers. Mgbako picked up two fouls in the first minute, and the team has four total already. Nebraska is 5-for-5 from the field as well.
• Offensively, the first few sets have looked rough. Ballo has been doubled every time he has the ball, and hasn’t looked comfortable in that pressure.

PREGAME NOTES

• Both Jakai Newton and Myles Rice are listed as questionable today, while Cupps remains OUT.
• Rice was seen warming up during pregame. All signs point to him playing.
• Rice will start, along with Galloway, Mgbako, Reneau and Ballo.
