How to Watch No. 10 Nebraska Basketball at Indiana with Preview, Breakdown, TV Channel

In what was poised as a big trap game for the No. 10 Nebraska men's basketball team against Ohio State, the Huskers and head coach Fred Hoiberg continued to find ways to win, holding off the Buckeyes 72-69 to keep their perfect season intact for another day.

Four NU players reached double figures, which was highlighted by Braden Frager's team-high 15 points. Star forward Rienk Mast added 12 points while Pryce Sandfort and Jamarques Lawrence each contributed 11. The Huskers were outshot by OSU (45.6% to 43.9%), but an 8-for-13 showing from the charity stripe will haunt the Buckeyes in what was a winnable, close game.

But Nebraska proved to be resilient, and they will take that attitude into another fierce environment at Assembly Hall to take on an Indiana squad that's rolling in year one of a new regime.

Here's all you need to know for NU-IU Saturday morning in Bloomington.

Outlook

Ditching former head coach Mike Woodson after four ho-hum seasons at Indiana, the Hoosiers plucked away one of the sport's rising stars in Darian DeVries, who won 150 games at Drake and rebuilt a West Virginia program to nearly reach the NCAA Tournament in just one season.

The former Creighton assistant had a blank slate to work with as only one player returned to Bloomington from the 2024-2025 team that went 19-13 and finished ninth in the conference. Following his father, two-time MVC Player of the Year Tucker averaged over 14 points and five rebounds a game for IU in his final college basketball season.

Leaning on old, veteran players with only one or two seasons of eligibility remaining, Indiana has reaped the rewards. Sam Houston State transfer Lamar Wilkerson has been the biggest success story. He's a top-five scorer in the Big Ten (19.5 PPG) and is among the conference leaders with a 41.8% mark from three-point land. The Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year at Troy last season, Tayton Conerway, is another impact guard adding 12.9 points per contest. Forward transfers Reed Bailey (Davidson) and Sam Alexis (Florida) are scoring 10 and seven points a game as part-time starters.

Continuing the theme of adding proven producers from the mid-major conferences, Elon transfer Nick Dorn contributes 7.5 PPG off the bench, joining Conor Enright (Drake) and Jasai Miles (North Florida) as reserve options. Lastly, true freshman Trent Sisley has been solid with the 6-foot-10 forward putting 6.9 points and 4.6 rebounds in all 15 games.

Up there as one of the most lethal offenses in the Big Ten — including a top-four mark in three-point shooting (36.3%) — the Hoosiers are a dangerous squad that can make it a game if NU wants to make it a high-scoring show. After losing all of its game amongst a four-game stretch in mid-December, IU has won four-straight games entering Saturday. Just like before, I'm riding with the Huskers until the streak is done, so give me NU to move to 16-0.
