Indiana basketball is on their last leg heading into the final week of the regular season, and need some help in order to make the NCAA Tournament.

With the regular season ending this weekend, there are a handful of bubble teams that are hanging on by a thread, and Indiana basketball is one of them.

At 15-14 (6-12), they have very little wiggle room and still have a chance at receiving an at-large bid come next Sunday.

What does help Indiana is the quality of their wins, though. WIth six quad one wins, fifth most in the country and no quad three or four losses, Indiana has one of the strongest resumes in the bubble discussion.

The Hoosiers have a road game against Illinois on Thursday and follow that up with senior night at home against Rutgers to end the season on Sunday, a team that beat them earlier in the season.

The Indiana basketball program hasn’t been to the NCAA Tournament since 2016, and the fans are getting restless.

So what exactly does Indiana need to do to ensure they hear their name called on Selection Sunday? Let’s check it out.
