Where IU basketball March Madness predictions stand after win vs Purdue

[ad_1]

BLOOMINGTON — Sunday’s upset of Purdue breathed new life into Indiana basketball’s at-large NCAA Tournament hopes, but there remains work to be done.

The Hoosiers face a two-week stretch that includes a land mine at home (Penn State), a tough trip through the Pacific Northwest and a potential bubble showdown with Ohio State on March 8 to conclude the regular season.

IU needs to start with a win against Penn State, to ensure its perfect record against Quads 2, 3 and 4 remains intact. Then, the Hoosiers steel themselves for their West Coast swing, starting at Washington on Saturday. While 2-0 is not a must for Indiana this week, it’s close.
