Indiana held as much as a 13-point lead early in the second half but the Cornhuskers closed within one with 21 seconds remaining on a layup by Dylan Talley. Jordan Hulls then went to the foul line to shoot a 1-and-1 for the Hoosiers, but he missed the first attempt and Brandon Richardson rebounded for Nebraska.

Hulls fouled Diaz in the act of shooting and Diaz made both free throws to account for the final score. Hulls missed two shots from the field in the final 4 seconds.

Indiana fell to 15-4 for the season and to 3-4 in league play.

Bo Spencer led the Cornhuskers (10-8, 2-5) with 23 points and Toney McCray had 11. Cody Zeller had 18 for Indiana.
