Indiana Hoosiers
RECORD: 20-9 COACH: Bob Knight | SEASON RESULTS | SEASON STATS
OUTLOOK
  • First round: Lost to Pepperdine, 77-57

    Indiana defends much better than it ever has, and that's made the difference. They defend as a team, but not great on the ball individually.

    Get the Coach's Edge

    Let the experts at Coach's Edge get you ready for the NCAA Tournament with an inside look at the Indiana playbook.
    A.J. Guyton was the co-MVP of the conference. Kirk Haston gives the Hoosiers some inside presence. They lack anyone else consistently getting things done inside. Larry Richardson is not a player who really scores very well, and neither does Lynn Washington. But at any given moment, either player can play well.

    It's really just a function of not knowing where they will get most of their inside scoring. They know they will get scoring outside. Michael Lewis will end up as the all-time leading assist man at Indiana. He knows how to find Guyton and get the ball inside to people.

    Bobby Knight is a Hall of Famer and the winningest active coach. That speaks volumes. But how far can they go? Guyton can't carry them by himself. The Hoosiers will go as far as their inside game can take them. If Richardson or Washington can have big games, they could get to the Sweet 16. -- Quinn Buckner, ESPN
