Indiana suffered its fourth loss of the season Wednesday night, falling 86-70 to Nebraska at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
Here are five takeaways from the loss to the Cornhuskers:
Indiana’s defense continues to underwhelm
Mike Woodson built his first Indiana team on the strength of its defense. In his second season, an All-American season from Trayce Jackson-Davis and stellar play from Jalen Hood-Schifino carried the Hoosiers.
In year three of Woodson’s tenure, Indiana’s defense has taken a significant step back from where it was the last two seasons under Woodson.
After surrendering 86 points on Wednesday in Lincoln, Indiana now ranks 105th in KenPom’s adjusted defensive efficiency numbers.
