BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — It was another sluggish night at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall for Indiana. The Hoosiers couldn't match the energy of Big Ten foe Nebraska early on Wednesday night, resulting in an 85-70 loss.

The trio of Malik Reneau, Mackenzie Mgbako and Kel'el Ware played well, combining for 44 of Indiana's 70 points on Wednesday night. Ware had another double-double, adding 12 rebounds to his stat line.

Indiana didn't have much of an answer for the hot-shooting Huskers. Nebraska made 14-of-33 shots from behind 3-point range and ended the night hitting 49.2% of their shots.
