IU Basketball News, Hoosiers Recruiting, and Podcasts
The Big Ten makes another case for being one of the deepest conferences in the nation after their first victory in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge since 2015. Big wins from teams like Purdue, Ohio State, and Indiana are going to be very important for the conference as a whole going into Selection Sunday.
Eight games into the season, Indiana remains as one of the 16 remaining unbeaten teams and one of three in the Big Ten. Despite a poor strength of schedule, they proved they can play the top talent in the country with a statement win over the Florida State Seminoles. The next logical step in the progression to developing this young team is to play a tough team on the road, and we will be tested when we visit Wisconsin this weekend.
The 2019 regular season is in the books and the battle of the Big Ten Championship will once again feature Ohio State, who have won the past two championships.
In a day highlighted by the Hoosier Football team winning its 8th game on the season and securing the Old Oaken Bucket, Indiana basketball gained its seventh win on the season with a 64-50 victory over South Dakota State University in the teams’ first ever meeting between programs.
It seems that every team in the country is vulnerable this season. Considering the home losses to unranked foes for Duke and Kentucky, Michigan State losing a second time this season, and Michigan’s absolute home run against North Carolina, the variability of the season will keep the season interesting from start to finish.
As we enter the final week of conference play, Ohio State has further cemented itself as the top team in the conference with a win over the visiting Nittany Lions, but only by 11 points, their lowest margin of victory on the season.
Teams in the Big Ten are finally starting to shake off the rust that they may have picked up in the offseason. At this point in the season, ball clubs are starting to get a feel for lineups and can begin building new concepts week over week.

For the first time this season, all fourteen Big Ten teams took the field on a Saturday. Yet, only one game came down to the final possession; the rest had margins of at least ten points.
