Scouting Indiana

One of the longtime powers in college basketball, Indiana comes into Wednesday's game with a 21-3 record and is the nation's top team in this week's polls. The Hoosiers, who returned all five starters from a team which won 27 games before losing to Kentucky in the NCAA Sweet 16, began the season as the nation's No. 1 team and spent six weeks in the top spot before losing to Butler, 88-86, on Dec. 13. Indiana won 15 of its first 16 games before falling to Wisconsin, 64-59, at home on Jan. 15. The Hoosiers then rattled off five straight wins, including an 81-73 triumph over then No. 1 Michigan before falling at Illinois in the final seconds last Thursday. IU bounced back with an impressive 81-68 win at No. 10 Ohio State on Sunday. Tom Crean is in his fifth season at Indiana after spending the previous nine years at Marquette, including a Final Four appearance in 2002-03. A former assistant to Tom Izzo at Michigan State, Crean's first three Indiana teams won a combined 28 games before posting consecutive 20-win seasons in each of the past two years. Crean is 1-2 all-time against Nebraska, splitting a pair of meetings during his tenure at Marquette before losing to the Huskers last year in Lincoln.

Indiana features one of the nation's top offenses, as the Hoosiers rank second nationally in scoring at 83.2 ppg, and lead the Big Ten in field goal percentage (.502), 3-point percentage (.425) and 3-point percentage (.425), as well as field goal defense (.385). Cody Zeller was the consensus national preseason player of the year as the 7-foot sophomore is fourth in the Big Ten in scoring at 16.5 ppg and second in rebounding at 8.3 rpg. Victor Oladipo is also among the league's top scorers at 14.3 ppg, while pacing all Big Ten players with 2.3 steals per game. Indiana is very balanced offensively with four players averaging double figures and sixth man Will Sheehey just under at 9.8 ppg.

 
The great thing about Basketball, is upsets are more common to happen. Tonight could very well be one of them! Its going to be VERY difficult, but you never know. Look at Kansas and the TCU game lol. GBR!

Upsets do happen but this game is at Assembly Hall. One of the toughest road venues in the NCAA. If we can find a way to keep this game within 15 I think that would be a good outcome for this team. IU at home is very tough to beat.

If we win this game I will sh#t myself. Twice.

Will it be twice because you'll be in such a shocked state that you wouldn't be able to move until your second bowel movement that is possibly hours away? That's how I took it.

I expect Parker will get some more minutes tonight to help break the press. We'll need his quickness.
