Projection: likely out

Indiana's season has been a rollercoaster, marked by inconsistency that leaves them on the outside looking in. They've had a few notable wins, including a tight one over a solid Michigan State and a convincing victory in the rematch with Nebraska, but they also have some head-scratching losses, like the stumbles against Penn State and Northwestern down the stretch. The drubbing they suffered against a powerhouse like Auburn and the setback against a formidable Connecticut tarnished their resume, lacking marquee wins to offset these losses. Their performance in the Big Ten has been less than stellar, as evidenced by failing to score significant victories against the conference's top dogs like Purdue and Illinois. The Hoosiers' inability to consistently beat high-quality opponents, combined with an uneven offense and defense, will likely see them miss the cut unless they can make a substantial run in their conference tournament, which would give them the much-needed statement wins to push their case for an at-large bid.
