How the results of the male basketball of the IU affected its CV March Madness last week

February 11 Winner on the road to Michigan State (n ° 21 net): The best victory of the Indiana season, by far, both in terms of performance and in terms of value. The Hoosiers ended the key defensive possessions, sank free pressure throws and made Tom Izzo wait a few days to break the Bob Knight victories record. In doing so, they inspired the life of their curriculum vitae from the NCAA tournament for the section at home of the season.

February 14 Léance at home at the UCLA (n ° 23 net): Another of these missed opportunities. Iu rarely led but spent most of the second half to push the Bruins, without ever finding a breakthrough. Although it did not allow a single player from the UCLA to score more than 12 points, the performance of the 7 out of 29 of Indiana from behind the 3 -point line embodies a frustrating evening for the team of Mike Woodson. Hoosiers cannot afford to miss more of these opportunities.

Sunday against Purdue (net n ° 13): For reasons that are both tangible and intangible, Sunday looks like a High Midi for the post-season hopes of IU.

They need quality for a curriculum vitae of the NCAA tournament in the absence cruelly. And they must feel a feeling of dynamics before a four -game match near the season which currently contains only one guaranteed Q1 (at Oregon) and could demand from Indiana to win four out of four.
