The Indiana Hoosiers got back on track against Ohio State with a clutch overtime win to get them back in the win column in Big Ten play. The Hoosiers are hopefully getting some good news in their next matchup against Northwestern, as their leading scorer, Malik Reneau, could potentially make his return to the court for the first time in almost three weeks.
This is a very favorable matchup for Indiana to get on a roll after the Ohio State win, as Indiana has historically performed very well against Northwestern. The Hoosiers lead the series 119-57, which means that Indiana knows how to beat this team.
This is a must-win game for the Hoosiers, as ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi recently released his latest NCAA Tournament prediction, putting Indiana as the last team to make it in. Indiana has had an up-and-down season with some big wins but also some losses that could have easily been avoided. Getting on a win streak would make the Hoosier more comfortable when it comes to the NCAA Tournament.
