Indiana's season has had its share of ups and downs reflected in their mixed performance against quality opponents. A key win against Rutgers solidified their ability to compete, but losses to elite teams like Illinois and Gonzaga highlight ongoing struggles, particularly on the defensive end. Their victories against lesser opponents like South Carolina and Sam Houston State provided some momentum, yet questionable losses, such as the one to Nebraska, dampen their postseason outlook. Upcoming games against Michigan and Maryland represent critical opportunities; winning at least a couple of these matchups could improve their standing significantly, but falling short could put their bid on shaky ground.
