The Nebraska men\u2019s basketball team will look to continue its historic season Saturday at Indiana.<\/p>\n
The Huskers are 15-0, having won 19 straight games going back to last season to set a school record. They also are ranked No. 10 in The Associated Press Top 25, the team\u2019s highest ranking in 60 years.<\/p>\n
Coach Fred Hoiberg talked Thursday about what has allowed the Huskers to have such a successful season so far.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the biggest thing is composure \u2026 and our guys have really done a good job of staying with it. When teams have gone on runs \u2026 there was no head hanging and once we got moving again, I was really pleased,\u201d Hoiberg said. \u201cOur guys just keep swinging. They keep going. Even when things are looking a little bit dire out there on the floor \u2026 that\u2019s a sign of great leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Huskers will be tested against a 12-3 Indiana team that has won its last four games by double digits. The Hoosiers are 3-1 in the Big Ten and have not lost at home this year.<\/p>\n
This weekend marks the third official away game for the Huskers this season, leaving a small sample size for how the team competes on the road. The team also has played three neutral-site games.<\/p>\n
Hoiberg said the team has capitalized on creating early leads when away from Lincoln, giving the Cornhuskers something to fall back on.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne thing we\u2019ve been very fortunate with is … we\u2019ve gotten off to good starts on the road,\u201d Hoiberg said. \u201cWe built a 14-point lead at Illinois, at Ohio State, and then you have a cushion when a team does go on a run, which invariably will happen, especially when you\u2019re playing in an opponent\u2019s gym.\u201d<\/p>\n
The game Saturday is at 11 a.m. CT and will be televised on the Big Ten Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Nebraska men\u2019s basketball team will look to continue its historic season Saturday at Indiana.
