Thoughts and prediction
Indiana has suffered a couple of significant losses since the start of the year. UCLA transfer Zania Socka-Nguemen scored 19 points on 9-of-12 shooting, while adding 11 rebounds against the Huskers in Lincoln in one of the five Big Ten games she played before being forced out by injury. She has not played since January 22. Indiana has also been affected by the departure of Valentyna Kadlecova, who returned home to her native Czech Republic at the conclusion of the first semester. Kadlecova made 10 starts in the first 11 games.
The Husker women have gotten some confidence back after two straight wins, including an absolute demolition of Rutgers on Senior Day. The Huskers need to hit the glass and turn over the Hoosiers to take control of the game. Indiana has a negative rebounding and turnover margin on the season. They do have explosive scorers, especially Shay Ciezki but they are also a young team whose inexperience sometimes gets the best of them.
Prediction: Nebraska 76 Indiana 71
