Indiana has been a streaky team this year. They beat then-ranked Notre Dame, Iowa by 13, and took Duke to the buzzer, but have lost home games to Indiana State and IPFW by double digits. Minnesota will be without Amir Coffey and Reggie Lynch for the first time, while Indiana is without their starting power forward De'Ron Davis for the first time.
Indiana has been better offensively than defensively this season. Archie Miller's offense has two high posts and uses plays to try and get his bigs touches quickly. If that doesn't work, they go into a four out motion offense with lots of ball screens and handoffs. With De'Ron Davis out, we'll likely see even more four out motion. Defensively, Indiana plays man defense and packs it inside the arc where they challenge everything. The Hoosiers' best player is Juwan Morgan, who's production mostly comes at the basket.
