Each weekday, our college hoops experts discuss the biggest issues, trends and themes in the college basketball world.

1. Was there anything in Indiana's loss to Wake Forest that hints at a bigger problem?

Andy Katz: Defense will be an evolving issue as well as rebounding. But most importantly it's lost opportunities.

The Big Ten provides enough RPI-influencing games, but the nonconference schedule will take a hit if the Hoosiers don't face an NCAA type team.
