Class of '66 Old Fart Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 We'll start 2023 with a new winning streak. Radio Live Stats No. 4/3 Indiana comes back home to open the 2023 calendar year against Nebraska on Sunday afternoon. Tipoff on ESPN is set for 1 p.m. ET. ABOUT THE HUSKERS Nebraska is coming off a set back against No. 14 Michigan as they resumed Big Ten action on Wednesday. Junior guard Jaz Shelley leads the way with 15.9 points per game while sophomore forward Alexis Markowski crashes the boards as one of the best rebounders in the league with 9.6 boards per game and 13.0 points per game. The Huskers average about nine 3-pointers per game, leading the Big Ten and average 72.6 points per outing. SERIES HISTORY Indiana leads 10-6 NOTES Indiana leads the all-time series with Nebraska, 10-6. It was won six of the last seven meetings dating back to the 2018-19 season, but most recently split the series last season with a win in Bloomington on Jan. 13, 2022 and a loss in Lincoln on Feb. 14, 2022. Senior forward Mackenzie Holmes leads the way for Indiana in scoring and rebounding as she continues her strong start to the 2022-23 season. She put up a new career-high 32 points at Michigan State and added 12 rebounds, the first player to record a 30/10 double-double since 2002 (Jill Chapman). Accuracy from the floor has been one of Indiana's strong suits this season, compiling a 51.5 percent clip from the floor, which ranks third in the country and tops in the Big Ten. Helping add to that percentage is one of the nation's best shooters in Mackenzie Holmes, who is second in the nation in field goal percentage (69.1). The Hoosiers will look to bounce back after its first set back of the season at Michigan State on Thursday afternoon. Despite one of its highest field goal percentages in a game this season, Indiana just couldn't overcome a slow start as it was forced into a season-high 21 turnovers. mamasa 1 Quote

TheWatShot Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 22-19 Nebraska after one. Huskers shooting 64%, including 4 of 5 beyond the arc. Quote
LamarCheeks Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Jeez -- Bargesser shoots a 6-foot airball, then misses a point-blank layup with nobody on her. Nerves, maybe? Quote
LIHoosier Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Goodness, they can't hit a 3 to save their lives today. Quote
TheWatShot Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 The whole team is tight right now. Need to settle down. 31-30 IU at the break. Shooting only 33%, including 1 of 9 from deep. Quote

That was pitiful. I know women are more prone to missing wide open layups, but a college basketball player should never miss that. Quote
TheWatShot Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 41-37 Nebraska. Looking dazed and confused right now. Quote
TheWatShot Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 I have no idea what the refs are seeing on some of these Nebraska and-one's. Quote
LamarCheeks Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Mack knows better than to turn right into a double team while holding the ball that low. That wasn't very smart. Quote
TheWatShot Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 I know she's a freshman, but Garzon can be really sloppy with the ball at times. Quote
LamarCheeks Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 They've made seven 3s, we have one. That's the story right there. Quote
TheWatShot Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 How many times does Moore-McNeil have to get stuffed before she realizes she can't shoot over them? Quote

That wasn't very smart. She's forcing things, like everyone else. The three point shot isn't there today so we're having to pound it down low every time. LamarCheeks 1 Quote
