I think the streak probably comes to an end on Saturday. The Hoosiers shoot well at home. However, I'm intrigued to see how Indiana handles playing their 3rd game in 6 days. Big Ten teams who do that, usually don't handle game 3 very well, even at home.
I picked Nebraska win by double digits, take the W to the bank baby. I am 15-0 this year with this pick when it comes to W/L.

Damn you beat me to it. Streak ends on Saturday. I think Assembly Hall will be jacked up for the game, especially if IU wins midweek.

I was hoping for a split of these two & we already got our win. I think Indiana wins possibly by 10. We're due for just "one of those days."
 
3 games in 7 days is tough. I don't think there's high demand for attendance at the game with tickets available for $34.

I voted IU by single digits, but only because I've done that previously and NU has won. I won't be surprised if IU wins, but I would bet NU.

I've been tempted to do a thread about Nebraska basketball in the B1G and its evolution. What has struck me since we first entered the conference was that so many of our prior coaches seemed to have a problem committing to having BIGS who could protect the rim. Whether it was because they just couldn't attract them, or because they weren't a priority for the coaches, seemed to see/saw as the reasoning for it. Hoiberg was initially one of those coaches who wasn't BIG on BIGS in the B1G. Hoiberg learned however, and now Nebraska is one of the biggest teams in the conference.

I've always been very old school in my view of basketball. The first game I went to, was in the old Coliseum in 1968, and watched Nebraska takedown a highly rated Kansas State. Cip seemed to understand how important having bigs was. The problem was Cip was a horrible recruiter.
 
I thought we'd beat MSU, and I thought we'd lose to OSU. But, even though I thought we'd lose to OSU I did think that if we beat them we'd definitely lose to Indiana. Like some others have said Indiana just plays so well at home and IMO it has DeVries going off for 8 3s written all over it. However, if Nebraska continues to play defense the way they have they will be in it to the end. Also, I didn't know this until last night, but Indiana plays @Maryland tonight then has a quick turnaround to the 11 AM tip on Saturday where Nebraska will be on 2 extra days of rest. That's a huge advantage for Nebraska.
