The Hoosiers can go so long without scoring that it almost becomes more impressive than frustrating.

Of course, scoring droughts are no mystery even to truly great teams. Basketball is a game of runs, and there will inevitably be stretches every game or even every season where it seems like no one can buy a basket. Missing becomes contagious.

Even an all-time great shooter like Klay Thompson can go through a massive slump. Thompson began the 2018 season shooting 14 percent from three in seven contests, only to come out and set the record for most threes made in a game in the eighth game of the year.
