Over the past six years putting “Indiana basketball” and “3-point shooting” in the same sentence created distaste. It’s been that bad.
The Hoosiers are widely picked as the Big Ten favorites and a big part of that is the returning production. Indiana returns four of five starters, adds one of the top recruiting classes in the Big Ten, and retains role players like Trey Galloway, Jordan Geronimo, and Tamar Bates. But, the season won’t end with the flying colors people expect if Indiana doesn’t fix its biggest problem: shooting.
Since Tom Crean’s firing in 2017, Indiana hasn’t shot better than 33.
