BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Forget speculation, drama and intrigue. Mike Woodson remains locked in big-picture basketball mode.
Think NCAA Tournament.
"We have seven games left," Indiana's coach says. "We basically control our destiny. We have to win out."
While Hoosier Nation continues to buzz about suspension talk, beating No. 17 Michigan State dominates Hoosier thoughts.
Saturday's game is the first of three straight cracks at top-20 teams, joining No. 14 Wisconsin on Tuesday and No. 16 Ohio State on Feb. 21.
It's a formidable challenge at any time, let alone with the Hoosiers (16-7 overall, 7-6 in the Big Ten) facing a two-game losing streak against a team that is 22-2 against them at the Breslin Center since 1991.
