Indiana Basketball: Five bold predictions for this decade

2. Indiana will win at least two Big Ten Championships

The Hoosiers struggled for about half of the last decade in basketball, but the years when they were good, they were very good. Even with what seemed like a down ten years the Hoosiers still won two Big Ten Championships. We think they will at least win two this decade.

Indiana has won 22 Big Ten Championships in their history, only two behind Purdue who has the most at 24. But the Hoosiers have only won three since 1993. So while most Hoosier fans would call the last decade a disappointment it wasn’t in terms of conference championships.

Michigan State, Michigan, and Purdue have been the teams that have been at the top of the conference most recently, but the Big Ten has started to be more balanced. This year the conference has been crazy and looks like any team can win the whole thing.

With the way players are leaving earlier and earlier it has been harder for a team to consistently be good. The Hoosiers really aren’t that far off from being a top team. They have shown they can play with most anybody in the conference and if they can continue to bring in top recruits like Trayce Jackson-Davis Indiana could bring home some Big Ten titles this decade.
