Indiana’s two consecutive 25-point losses appear to make NCAA Tournament talk a bit far-fetched, but the Hoosiers have time to repair the damage.

Indiana men’s basketball (13-5, 4-3 Big Ten) will play its third game in less than a week when it faces Ohio State (10-7, 2-4 Big Ten) at 8 p.m. Friday inside Value City Arena in Columbus, Ohio.

Then again, sandwiching a 10-point home loss to an average Big Ten opponent between 25-point-plus massacres of conference foes – Penn State and Indiana – is taking up-and-down to an extreme. By now, we know what the No.
