Hoosier Stall In Second Half, Fall To Cornhuskers

Last updated on Wednesday, February 21, 2018

(LINCOLN, NE) - The Indiana Hoosiers saw their four-game winning streak come to an end as they went ice cold offensively late in the second-half and fell to Nebraska 66-57.

The Cornhuskers went on a 13-6 run over the final 5:32 and forced 19 Indiana turnovers. James Palmer Jr. led Nebraska with 15 points while teammate Isaac Copeland added 13.

For the Hoosiers, Robert Johnson scored a game-high 16 points while Juwan Morgan had 13 points and nine rebounds.

"Lack of toughness, lack of confidence. I don't know what it is," Hoosiers coach Archie Miller said of his team's effort. "Maybe the road environment scared them a little bit, I'm not sure. Some of the plays just didn't make a whole lot of sense."

Indiana's 19 turnovers matched a season-high from their season-opening loss to Indiana State.

The Hoosiers wrap up the regular-season schedule on Friday when they host No. 16 Ohio State.
