Indiana continues to have a head-scratching season. It seems like they have really played down (or up) to their opponents this season, which makes for a very frustrating year for Hoosier fans.

After defeating Notre Dame in the Crossroads Classic, the Hoosiers got blown out at home by Fort Wayne. They are currently 1-4 against the RPI top-100 with a high-quality win over Notre Dame.

Last week, the Hoosiers looked like the team they were against the Irish in Indianapolis, as they defeated Tennessee Tech 87-59 on Dec. 21. Archie Miller received 20 points from Josh Newkirk (8.5 ppg).

Juwan Morgan (15.2 ppg, 7.3 rpg) continues to be the leader for the Hoosiers this season. He has had scoring games of 34, 28, and 24 so far this season. He is followed by Robert Johnson (12.5 ppg) and De’Ron Davis (10.2 ppg, 4.5 rpg). Although Morgan has had a very solid season, the Hoosiers (much like Iowa) still struggles to find that go-to guy to make big plays in the clutch like they had in James Blackmon Jr.

Schedule for this week:

Youngstown State (2-10) at Indiana on Dec. 29
