BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Maybe it's exaggerating to call it the basketball equivalent of the Bataan Death March.
Then again, maybe not.
Indiana starts a Big Ten sequence of six road games in eight outings leading up to Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 3, with Sunday's 4:30 p.m. tipoff at unbeaten and No. 2-ranked Michigan.
That is followed by dates at Maryland, versus Nebraska, at Purdue, at Northwestern, versus Michigan, at Rutgers and at Michigan State.
And that means seven out of eight games against teams currently rated among the Top 51 teams nationally by KenPom.
