Indiana is a difficult team to figure out. They have beaten Iowa twice, but also struggle mightily to score sometimes. They have continued to play teams tough, taking Illinois to overtime and losing to Rutgers by just four. They are yet another team that just quite get over the hump and win most of the close games.
Trayce Jackson-Davis has been a monster for him, but they are still trying to find that consistent second scorer. The outside shot is still a huge question mark, but again this team has shown it can play with the Big Ten’s best.
They have a huge opportunity when they travel to Ohio State this weekend, but they need to make sure they take care of Northwestern, who they lost to earlier this year.
This is a tournament team, but they could use a couple more big wins to end the season.
When Ron Harper Jr. is playing well this team is very dangerous. When Harper was going off earlier in the season, the Scarlet Knights looked like a top-ten team. But when he struggles this team has a tough time scoring.
Geo Baker hasn’t stepped up like we thought he would this year and that makes the offense even less imposing. If both guys could start playing well together lookout.
They have a tough three-game stretch with games against Iowa and Michigan, but after that their last four games are against teams not ranked. They should be able to finish the year off with some wins and secure their first bid to the NCAA tournament in a long time.
