What a difference six weeks can make. On January 16, Indiana let a fourth quarter lead slip away on the road and lost to No. 14 Maryland 74-70.

It isn’t clear…
Well, if you thought it couldn’t possibly get harder than the Duke, Purdue and Michigan State losses, how does a double overtime loss to Top 20 Ohio State on Senior Night sound? Sigh. The Hoosiers certainly had their chances in this one, and even went so far as to hit what looked like the game winning shot as Juwan Morgan scored to give IU a one point lead with under 10 seconds remaining. But Ohio State had an answer and broke the Hoosiers’ hearts with a 3-point dagger. The Buckeyes win it, 80-78 in front of yet another bad showing in…
