INDIANAPOLIS – On a surreal day in the college basketball world given the Big Ten tournament and NCAA tournament policies enacted to address the worldwide COVID-19 viral disease pandemic, Indiana still had a basketball game to play.
In what will be the final Big Ten sporting event of any type this spring to have fans in attendance, Indiana began its 2020 Big Ten tournament with an 89-64 victory over Nebraska.
It was a game in which Indiana pulled away just before halftime, using a 16-1 run over the final four minutes of the first half to turn a six-point deficit into a nine-point halftime lead that the Hoosiers never let go of.
