THE OVERVIEW
Michigan rolls into Indiana for a pivotal game. Indiana's pretty good and this is a road game so it'll be tough, but they're not so good that this one feels insurmountable for a team that really needs to turn it around immediately if they have any chance of making the tournament.
Indiana switched coaches, firing Archie Miller and importing the closest thing they had to a Juwan Howard in longtime NBA assistant and program alum Mike Woodson. Woodson managed to staple the roster back together, pick up some key transfers, treat others with a modicum of dignity, and pick up a recruit or two.
IU's quick start was pretty hollow until Thursday, when they beat Purdue at home. Prior to that their best win was against OSU, also at home.Third p
