The lack of bench production has been an issue all season long for Indiana basketball, and with the recent injury to De’Ron Davis, the suspension of Devonte Green, and other lingering injuries, the Hoosiers may need to expand their rotation in order to keep their NCAA hopes alive.
In the 78-75 loss to Maryland, Indiana’s bench production was nonexistent. The non-starters played for a total of 53 minutes and recorded just two points, five rebounds and three assists as a bench unit.
In the most recent game against Northwestern, the bench played 33 minutes with Zach McRoberts getting 19 of them, and these 33 minutes contributed for only two points going 1-for-4 on field goal attempts.
