It should not have come as a shock that Indiana was not extended a bid to the NCAA Tournament this year. The Hoosiers knew their tournament fate was held only to the Big Ten Tournament this weekend. They exited the tournament on the third day after falling to Wisconsin, 70-60.
Indiana showed the rest of the conference on Thursday what the team is certainly capable of. Dropping 96 points on an Iowa team that was among the “first four out” of the NCAA Tournament. They received a No. 1 overall bid in the National Invitation Tournament. The Hoosiers were unable to repeat Thursday night’s performance.
