Indiana is in the midst of a highly disappointing season that comes in the wake of what was, on paper, one of the better offseasons in the sport.
The Hoosiers added the kind of talent most coaches in college basketball will never get to work with in the backcourt, at center and in key depth roles while retaining some high-caliber talent of their own.
The roster, on paper, looked like one of the best in the country and Indiana was picked to contend for the Big Ten title in the preseason unofficial media poll. Which is what makes the results, which include multiple blowout losses and zero solid wins in nearly all of January up to this point, a massive letdown for the fanbase.
