On expecting Nebraska to deploy the same defensive strategy for junior center Zach Edey...​

Painter: They will do the same thing. It's what they do. And so like, how they defend the post, like how they defended Indiana, how they defended every team that they've played, they come with the low man on a double in the post. No matter if you post up at 18 feet or you post up at four feet, that's what they're gonna do.

The game before us, Indiana did a really good job of spacing them, and then Indiana knock down some shots. And then the difference in our game was we didn't knock down some shots. It gets to be result based and you can't be that way. You got to stay process based, if you're getting good shots, keep doing what you're doing.

You hope that you can knock down some more shots and help extend that lead. We weren't able to do that, and then obviously it became a really close game.
 
Nebraska messed up Edey because the rotations were constantly changing. Not only did we miss a million shots, but we turned the ball over so many times passing out of the post. I trust that we will be more patient tonight.
