Well that escalated quickly. Over the course of an hour, a promising start against Rutgers became in all likelihood the final nails in the coffin of the 2020-21 season and possibly a coach’s tenure. Early in Indiana’s game against Michigan State on Saturday it appeared that the Hoosiers were well on their way to a fourth win in five games.  Now, suddenly, after a mirror image collapse against Rutgers, IU has instead lost three of four and appears to be lost, broken, and dare we say it — throwing in the towel.  Next up is precisely the Big Ten team…
