IU has one more tune-up before facing Notre Dame in the Crossroads Classic next Saturday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
McNeese State, No. 313 in the KenPom ratings, will visit Bloomington Saturday evening, as the Hoosiers go for win number eight. The focus will again be on defense, something Collin Hartman says has been stressed more than anything else in practice since the Duke game.
“Coach (Tim) Buckley always talks about having the demeanor on defense, letting other teams know they aren’t going to score on you just by the way you carry yourself on defense,” Hartman said.
