WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The calendar is fast approaching March, and the Hoosiers are still trying to find some consistency.
IU's 57-49 loss to Purdue in West Lafayette was a roller coaster that mirrored the way Indiana's season has gone. The Hoosiers' shooting came and went. Their defense ebbed and flowed. IU didn't always value the ball.
The result was a 16-point deficit early in the second half, and it looked like IU was in deep trouble on the road yet again.
But this time around, Indiana showed it still had some fight. Its attitude didn't waver, nor did its effort.
