If you have been paying attention to the preseason Big Ten rankings, you have noticed that the Hoosiers are being picked anywhere from about seven to eleven. Most have them closer to seven and eight, but others are a little less optimistic about Indiana’s chances.
Last year the expectations were much higher with five-star recruit Romeo Langford on campus and the return of Juwan Morgan. The Hoosiers looked ready to take the next step and maybe make some noise in the NCAA tournament. Things went south midway through the season and that never materialized, leaving Indiana having to settle for the NIT which they made the quarterfinals in.
