Behind a season-high 28 points from Keisei Tominaga, Nebraska improved to 12-2 on the season with an 86-70 win over Indiana Wednesday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Tominaga had 18 of his 28 in the second half, as Nebraska matched a season high with 12 3-pointers en route to its first win over Indiana since 2019.

Tominaga was one of four Huskers in double figures, as Beice Williams added 15 points, while Jamarques Lawrence and C.J. Wilcher added 12 and 11 markers, respectively. The Huskers had 15 steals and forced Indiana (10-4, 2-1) into 19 turnovers which led to 27 Husker points.

The Huskers return to action and continue Big Ten play when they travel to Wisconsin on Saturday, Jan. 6. Tipoff is set for 1:15 p.m. (CT) and the game will be carried on the Huskers Radio Network and BTN.

Just think if we didn't blow that second half lead against MN. I still feel that game will bite us in the ass for some reason.

Probably the most confusing collapse I've ever watched. Refs had some awful calls against us right after half and we folded
