A lot has changed since Northwestern (20-8, 9-6 B1G) and Indiana (15-13, 5-10 B1G) last played on January 29. Northwestern has gone 2-4 since its 68-55 win over the Hoosiers in Evanston, including a road win over a then-Top 10 Wisconsin team and two losses to in-state rival Illinois.
That January 29 game was the last game Scottie Lindsey played before missing the next four games due to illness, and he’s still working his way back to full health now. Lindsey has—unsurprisingly—struggled in his return to the game action, going 3-of-19 from the field in two games against Rutgers and Illinois.
