We'll post the most recent items at the top, so just keep refreshing for the latest news.

10:26 p.m. – FINAL: INDIANA 81, NEBRASKA 65 A balanced effort for Indiana is highlighted by the third triple-double in Indiana basketball history by Trayce Jackson-Davis, scoring 12 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Trey Galloway leads Indiana with 20 points, followed by 19 from Tamar Bates, 13 from Miller Kopp and nine from Race Thompson. Indiana shot 11-for-25, or 44 percent, from 3-point range.

10:21 p.m. – Jackson-Davis found a cutting Trey Galloway below the basket, and Galloway finishes with a reverse layup through contact. That's Jackson-Davis' 10th assist, completing a 12-point, 11-rebound, 10-assist triple-double. Galloway converts the 3-point play, and Indiana leads 81-63 with just over a minute left in the game.

10:19 p.m. – Jackson-Davis assists Tamar Bates on a 3-pointer, and he's one assist away from a triple-double.

10:12 p.m. – Woodson calls a timeout after Nebraska's 7-0 run trims Indiana's lead to 14 points with 4:39 left in the game. Jackson-Davis is back in the game, two assists shy of a triple-double.

10:08 p.m. – Jackson-Davis secured his 10th rebound of the night to complete a double-double, but Malik Reneau replaces him with 6:30 left in the game. Jackson-Davis will most likely finish two assists shy of the triple-double as Indiana leads 72-51 and there's not much reason to playing him the rest of the way. Meanwhile, Bates hits his fourth 3-pointer of the night, and he's tied with Galloway with a team-high 16 points.

10:02 p.m. – We're on triple-double watch for Trayce Jackson-Davis, who has 12 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. His most recent assist was for a Miller Kopp 3-pointer, and Bates hits a 3 on the next possession to give Indiana a 20-point lead.

9:58 p.m. – Tamar Bates drains his second 3-pointer of the night, and some fancy dribbling from Trey Galloway ends with a step-back 3-pointer to extend Indiana's lead to 59-41. Galloway is playing outstanding all-around basketball for Indiana tonight. He has a team-high 16 points with a 4-for-6 mark from 3-point range. That's a 9-0 run for Indiana, who leads 59-41 with 9:30 remaining.

9:53 p.m. – Malik Reneau scores his first bucket of the night, finishing with his right hand on the block. Looked like there could have been a flop call there, but Hoiberg calls a timeout for Nebraska. Indiana leads 53-41.

9:51 p.m. – Xavier Johnson gets called for a charge on back-to-back possession, his first two fouls of the night. Woodson shakes his head at the referee, and points to Tamar Bates to replace Johnson. Indiana hasn't played many minutes without at least one of Johnson or Hood-Schifino on the floor, so this could be an important stretch coming up. Indiana leads 51-41 after a free throw from Jackson-Davis at the 12:33 mark.

9:47 p.m. – Trey Galloway gets the shooter's roll on his third 3-pointer of the night, this one from the top of the key. Galloway is 5-for-6 overall tonight, and he leads Indiana with 13 points. Indiana leads 48-36 after two Nebraska free throws.

9:44 p.m. – Johnson commits his fifth turnover of the game, much to the dismay of Mike Woodson. Indiana able to get a quick stop on the defensive end, and Jackson-Davis is fouled going for the rebound. Indiana leads 43-34 at the under-16 media timeout. Nebraska is being much more physical with Jackson-Davis in the second half, bringing heavy double and triple teams and denying the entry pass. Jackson-Davis is doing well to pass out of it – he leads Indiana with five assists – and Indiana will need to hit perimeter shots. Miller Kopp is 0 for 4 from 3 tonight and Xavier Johnson is 0 for 2.

9:40 p.m. – Xavier Johnson loses his handle, leading to a turnover and foul on Trey Galloway on the other end. Galloway and Kopp each have two fouls now, and Nebraska trials by seven. Sluggish start to the second half for Indiana.

9:37 p.m. – C.J. Wilcher opens the second-half scoring with a pull-up jumper near the free throw line. He's fouled by Miller Kopp on a put back and makes both free twos. Nebraska trims Indiana's lead to nine early in the second half.

9:19 p.m. – Jackson-Davis jumps the passing lane and flips the ball ahead to Race Thompson, who converts the transition dunk right before half. Indiana takes a 39-26 lead into halftime, and all things considered, it was a good first half for the Hoosiers. Indiana shooting 17-for-32 overall, 4-for-11 from 3 and 1-for-1 at the line. Nebraska is 11-for-30 overall, 3-for-13 from 3 and 1-for-2 from the free throw line.

9:16 p.m. – Derrick Walker misses the free throw after finishing through a foul from Jackson-Davis, his first. Malik Reneau has two fouls, but Indiana has largely avoided foul trouble in the first half.

9:11 p.m. – Trey Galloway hits his second 3-pointer of the night from the right wing. His shot really looks improved this year. Much more smooth with better arc and rotation. He's got eight points behind Jackson-Davis' nine. Indiana leads 35-24, and Woodson calls a timeout with 2:53 left in the half.

9:08 p.m. – A tomahawk slam from Jackson-Davis in transition gets Assembly Hall on its feet, but C.J. Wilcher hits a floater to silence the crowd. Some confusion from Jackson-Davis and Thompson leads to the ball flying out of bounds. Nebraska takes over trailing 30-21 with under five minutes to go. That's a 6-0 run for the Cornhuskers.
