Projected seed: 4

Indiana’s résumé looks like a comfortable tournament bid because it features a marquee neutral-site demolition of Marquette and a resume-building nonconference win over Kansas State at home while the remainder of the ledger is padded with lopsided victories, but the committee will note the absence of true road scalps against the conference’s top teams and the lack of a signature win away from Bloomington; upcoming tests at UCLA and USC, the trips to Michigan and Purdue and the neutral matchup with Louisville are the moments that will determine whether this profile moves up or slips, and sensible home opportunities such as Nebraska and Minnesota give Indiana an easy path to lock in its standing if it avoids bad results on the road.
