Indiana will take on Nebraska on Wednesday night at Assembly Hall in a game that is a must win should the Hoosiers want to keep hopes of a Big Ten title alive.
Tied with Maryland for second in the Big Ten at 10-3, IU still controls its destiny because of its remaining road game at Iowa, but has three games before it travels to Iowa City.
Nebraska (14-12, 6-7) has shown it is capable of beating a ranked team on the road after topping Michigan State in East Lansing. However, the task will be much tougher as second leading scorer Shavon Shields will not make the trip to Indiana as he continues to recover from a nasty fall in a win over Rutgers on Feb.
