Things weren't going well. After a 19-point beatdown at the hands of Penn State, the Hoosiers were in the midst of a three-game losing streak, starting conference play just 1-4.
For all the gripes about Indiana's style on offense, this much is true: The Hoosiers finished 28th in KenPom's adjusted offensive efficiency metric, up 67 spots (95th) from Mike Woodson's first season as Indiana's head coach.
