Indiana's overall record and strong early-season performances, especially against teams like South Carolina and Eastern Illinois, showcase their offensive potential and depth. However, their defensive rankings suggest there's room for improvement, particularly given upcoming challenges against higher-ranked opponents like Illinois and USC, which could expose those weaknesses. While they have favorable matchups against lower-ranked teams, maintaining focus will be crucial in games against tougher Big Ten rivals, like Penn State and Purdue, which will act as litmus tests for their tournament readiness. A few key victories in these matchups could significantly solidify their standing.
