Projection: likely out
Indiana's resume raises significant concerns, particularly highlighted by their tough losses to quality teams like Gonzaga and Louisville. Their defensive rankings are troubling, as they struggled against stronger offenses, which can be a major liability in high-pressure tournament situations. While they've secured wins against lower-tier teams like Sam Houston State and UNC Greensboro, they need to bolster their resume with victories against ranked opponents, such as Illinois and Maryland coming up. A lackluster performance in these upcoming critical matchups could solidify their current position as a team on the outside looking in when it comes to the NCAA tournament.
