Indiana rose as high as No. 7 in the country on the heels of a 15-1 start that included wins over teams ranked No. 1 and No. 2. In the four weeks since that poll, the Hoosiers have done little to demonstrate they're worthy of consideration as one of the nation's top teams. The 20th-ranked Hoosiers would likely fall out of the rankings altogether if they can't snap their longest losing...

Indiana simply can't seem to get over the hump on the road.

The Hoosiers traveled to Michigan on Feb. 1 to take on the Wolverines, and after falling behind by 20 early, IU managed to cut the lead to two points late in the game. Indiana, however, couldn't quite make the plays when it needed them most, and was outscored 16-6 the rest of the way in a 68-56 loss.

The Hoosiers boast more experience this season than they have at any other time in the Tom Crean Era, but those juniors and seniors who have been a big part of IU's resurgence this season are lacking in one key area: Enjoying success away from Assembly Hall. There also is a feeling that players such as Jordan Hulls, Christian Watford, Verdell Jones III and Derek Elston have been through so many close calls on the road...

N ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan played about as well as any basketball team could in the first 13 minutes and held off Indiana 68-56 Wednesday night in Crisler Center. Trey Burke had 10 of his 18 points in the first 5:21 as the 23rd-ranked Wolverines grabbed a 15-2 lead.

In the middle of another rough shooting night, Tim Hardaway Jr. found himself open on the left wing. With Michigan needing a basket, the talented sophomore didn't hesitate. "It was a walk-in 3, and we got it from penetration. That's when, as a team, we strive to shoot those types of balls," he said.

No. 20 Indiana dug a hole that doomed the Hoosiers at Michigan. Trey Burke scored 10 of his 18 points in the opening minutes to help the 23rd-ranked Wolverines build a 20-point lead and then hang on for a 68-56 victory Wednesday night. "At the start of the game, we allowed a very good team to play like a great team because our players came out playing like they had seen a ghost," Hoosiers...

Michigan and Indiana each admit to not playing at a particularly high level recently, but coach John Beilein's team has to feel good about how it's looked at home. The 23rd-ranked Wolverines look to improve to 13-0 in Ann Arbor when they host the 20th-ranked Hoosiers on Wednesday night. Michigan and Indiana are trying to stay in the hunt for a Big Ten title despite some recent struggles.

Iowa did a lot of things right against Indiana. Defense wasn't one of them. Freshman Cody Zeller scored a season-high 26 points to help No. 16 Indiana defeat Iowa 103-89 on Sunday night. Indiana scored more than 100 points in a conference game for the first time since defeating Iowa 110-79 on March 12, 1995.

If you just took a look at the relative national rankings entering play on January 29, you might have been led to believe that the Indiana Hoosiers were sitting near the top of the Big Ten standings. After all, at number 17, IU was right in the middle of the group of five Big Ten...

Freshman Cody Zeller scored a season-high 26 points to help No. 16 Indiana defeat Iowa 103-89 on Sunday night.

Indiana's once promising season has gotten off track as it has struggled to close out games. Two weeks removed from being in the top 10, the Hoosiers are coming off another disappointing road loss and might need a home win over Big Ten foe Iowa on Sunday night just to make sure they remain ranked.

Another trip to Madison, Wisconsin, and another loss for the Indiana Hoosiers. The game was closer than the 57-50 score shows, but this loss is the 11th in a row (over 14 years) for the Hoosiers at Wisconsin. The loss also pushes them to a 16-5 record overall and 4-5 in the Big Ten.

Wisconsin had already bounced back from its rough start in the Big Ten. Now Jordan Taylor and the 25th-ranked Badgers know they can win even on a bad shooting night. Despite going 4 for 17 from 3-point range, Wisconsin fell back on its defense to beat No. 16 Indiana 57-50 on Thursday. Ben Brust scored 13 points and Ryan Evans added 12 for the Badgers (17-5, 6-3), who have won their past five games --...

Three-game losing streaks left Indiana and Wisconsin trying to make up ground in the Big Ten race, but their coaches still feel good about their chances. The 16th-ranked Hoosiers will try to snap a 10-game losing streak in Madison when they visit the No. 25 Badgers on Thursday night. Indiana won three of its first four conference games, counting then-No.

The Class of 2012 in Indiana seems poised to go down as one of the best ever from the state.

After a week in which the Indiana Hoosiers began to look like we all may have jumped the gun in anointing them a national title contender, courtesy of a three-game losing streak, Tom Crean's team returned home to Bloomington to face the Penn State Nittany Lions on January 22.
