Indiana vs Nebraska Prediction 

Nebraska comes into this matchup after getting blown out by Michigan State in their last game, so they will try to avoid starting 0-2 in conference play with a win here. The Cornhuskers are shooting just 44.7% from the field, but they did have a nice win against Creighton a few games ago. Indiana defeated a bad Minnesota team in their last game and they are shooting nearly 51% from the field this year. The Hoosiers have been very good offensively this season, as they have scored at least 82 points in three of their last four games, but I am going to side with Nebraska at home. The Cornhuskers are very difficult to beat at home and I need to see Indiana pick up a nice road win before backing them away from home. Take Nebraska here.
