Iowa basketball team secured two Quadrant 1 wins in four days, defeating Michigan State. Nebraska defeated Indiana, ending a 7-game Big Ten road losing streak. The loss adds to Indiana's struggles, with coach Mike Woodson facing criticism for the team's performance.
IU basketball is just a badly constructed team, waiting for a frustrating season's quiet end. Here’s #iubb insider @ZachOsterman from a furious, fired up but eventually deflated Assembly Hall after a 15-point loss to Nebraska. # https://t.co/4hVlS3FUwY
IU basketball is spiraling because #iubb coach Mike Woodson is not very good. https://t.co/JcRV0Pp9g2
Nebraska's win over Indiana solidifies its NCAA Tournament resume, for me. A Big Ten road win felt like the last piece of criteria that the Huskers needed. 3-6 against Quad 1 teams with Ws over No. 1 Purdue and No. 6 Wisconsin. 4-2 against Quad 2 teams 12-0 against Q3 & 4.
Nebraska blows out IU for second time this season, this time at Assembly Hall. Boos were raining. Ugly. #columncoming
Final in Bloomington: #Huskers 85, Indiana 70 Fred Hoiberg and the guys earn their first Big Ten win on the road. Jamarques Lawrence was incredible off the bench. He scored a career-high 19 points (6-8 from field, 5-5 from 3, 2-2 FT) to go with six rebounds and five assists.
Nebraska's drought of 7 straight Big Ten road losses comes to an end with the Huskers' 85-70 win in Assembly Hall. L @ Minn, 76-65 L @ 21 Wisc, 88-72 L @ Iowa, 94-76 L @ Rut, 87-82 OT L @ Mary, 73-51 L @ 14 Ill, 87-84 OT L @ NW, 80-68 NU hadn't won at Indiana since Jan 2019.
Mike Woodson and Indiana has now lost 3 straight games at Assembly Hall: Penn State, Northwestern and now Nebraska. Hoosiers now 14-12 overall and 6-9 in Big Ten.
Iowa could go from 0 to 3 Quad 1 wins in 6 days ... last night's W in East Lansing moved the Hawkeyes from #67 to #62 in NET, and Minnesota is now at #76 -- one spot away from being in the top 75 which would add an Iowa Q1 road win. Gophers host Ohio State on Thursday.
Iowa went the first three and a half months of the season without a Quadrant 1 win -- they've now picked up two in the last four days. Just beat Michigan State in East Lansing.
