This isn’t a new scene at all.
Indiana was in a dire spot this time last year too with early losses in Big Ten play casting doubt on the season. Then came wins over Wisconsin and Illinois before the big one, taking down No. 1 Purdue.
But Trayce Jackson-Davis and Jalen Hood-Schifino were here. That’s not the case this year. Nobody’s coming to save the Hoosiers.
There’s not one reason above all else that speaks to why the Hoosiers are here, rather an avalanche of issues and problems that individually could be overcome but all at once?
