Indiana returns to Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall for its conference home opener on Friday night against Nebraska. The Cornhuskers, led by first year coach Fred Hoiberg, are just 4-5 with losses to UC Riverside, Southern Utah, George Mason, Georgia Tech and Creighton.
Friday’s game will tip at 8 p.m. on BTN with Kevin Kugler and Shon Morris on the call:
