Indiana’s midseason malaise continued on Saturday afternoon as it never challenged Purdue in a 70-55 loss at Mackey Arena. The loss dropped the Hoosiers to 12-6 overall and 3-4 in Big Ten play.
Here’s a look at five takeaways from the loss to the Boilermakers:
• The backward slide continues: Indiana’s losing streak reached four games on Saturday and many of the problems remain the same.
The Hoosiers have become predicable offensively and easy to guard because of a lack of perimeter shooting. Beyond Juwan Morgan and Romeo Langford, Indiana doesn’t have a consistent scoring threat.
