BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana men's basketball certainly aspires to Top 25 status this season.
Marquette is already there.
Coach Steve Wojciechowski's Golden Eagles bring a 3-0 record and the nation's No. 24 ranking into IU's Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall for tonight's 8:30 p.m. tipoff.
The matchup is part of the Gavitt Games series pitting the Big East against the Big Ten, and Marquette was the preseason pick to finish second in the Big East by the league's coaches – behind only defending NCAA champion Villanova.
And Indiana's improved pack-line defense is about to get truly tested for the first time this season.
