NOTES

IU will open up its conference slate on Sunday, looking to win three-straight Big Ten openers for the first time since 1991-94. IU is 17-21 all-time in Big Ten openers and 11-7 all-time in conference openers at home.

Indiana has won four-straight games and six of the last seven in the series with Nebraska, including both matchups in the 2019-20 regular season.

On Sunday, the Hoosiers are looking to end a two-game skid as it wrapped up non-conference play in losses to then No. 11 Kentucky and Tennessee.

Senior guard Jaelynn Penn led the way against the Lady Vols on Thursday night. She notched her third career double-double with 14 points, 10 rebounds and a career-high five steals.

The Hoosiers are led by a trio of double figure scorers including sophomore forward Mackenzie Holmes (15.3 ppg.), junior guard Grace Berger (15.0 ppg.) and senior guard Ali Patberg (13.5 ppg.). Four players average 6.5 rebounds per game or more this season led by junior forward Aleksa Gulbe's 7.8 boards per game.

Holmes is also one of the nation's leaders in blocks, averaging 3.5 per game with a total of 14 swats in four games. She is currently leads the Big Ten and 14th in the nation in total blocks and 6th in blocks per game.

Patberg wearing a face mask in warmups.  Took a shot to the nose at the end of the Tennessee game.

Greg Murray just said her nose is broken and it's the second time in her IU career she's had that happen.  Noveroske out for her 4th game nursing an ankle injury.

Gulbe with her first career double-double 18 and 12 in just 21 minutes.  Kiandra Browne also with a double-double with 12 and 10 in 18 min.  Holmes in double digit scoring with 16.  Brown got in the game early when Penn picked up 2 early fouls.  Still work to do as we shot just 38% from the floor and 33% on 3s.  We outrebounded Nebraska 61-35 and had 23 offensive boards.  Next up is a 2:00 afternoon game on Wednesday at Minnesota. 

[Aaron]

We did exactly what we were supposed to do. I feel better that we took apart one of the worst teams in the Big Ten then I did last week when we lost to the Vols. Still anxious to see how we do against the better Big Ten team like Maryland, Iowa, NW, OSU and Michigan after the flop in non-conference.

Good start though today!

Pretty annoyed- I was really hoping to watch this when I got home, but Xfinity decided to not record it for me :(
