How To Watch Indiana vs No. 10 Nebraska Basketball

Indiana's 12-3 overall record and 3-1 start to Big Ten play looks good at face value on coach Darian DeVries' first-year resume. But it also lacks an important data point –– Quad 1 wins.

The Hoosiers missed out on their first two opportunities to pick up such victories, falling 87-78 to Louisville and 72-60 at Kentucky. Marquette and Kansas State were supposed to represent marquee nonconference opponents, but they've fallen to No. 158 and No. 65, respectively, in the NET rankings.

Indiana moved up to No. 30 in the NET after Wednesday's 84-66 win at Maryland –– solid standing for early January –– but 10 of the Hoosiers' 12 wins have come against Quad 3 and 4 opponents. So in order to really solidify their NCAA Tournament chances, they'll need to defeat several quality opponents.

DeVries' Hoosiers get that opportunity Saturday at home against Nebraska, one of college basketball's most pleasant surprises of the season. In coach Fred Hoiberg's seventh season, the Cornhuskers are undefeated and ranked No. 10 in the latest AP poll, with Quad 1 wins against Michigan State, Ohio State, Illinois and New Mexico.
