2. Indiana (22-6, 12-3)

Sure, Indiana lost at Penn State, but just look at recent big ten road games.  This team is dominant on its home floor, defeating Iowa and Purdue in consecutive weeks.  This team is a deadly shooting team and when Thomas Bryant stays out of foul trouble, they have a great inside presence as well. The matchup at Iowa on March 1 looms large.

Earlier in conference play, Indiana was questioned due to a lack of difficult games, but the Hoosiers have proven that they are a good team despite the favorable early schedule.  Watch out for this team come tournament time.
