Indiana apparently doesn’t like to travel. If that’s the case, there is a silver lining in the Hoosiers’ sixth loss in seven attempts in true road contests this season. IU may not have to worry about traveling for the NCAA Tournament if they can’t find some level of respectability away from Bloomington. There was nothing respectable about Michigan’s 89-65 dismantling of Indiana at the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor on Sunday afternoon. Unable to build upon a strong showing at home against Iowa on Thursday, the Hoosiers once again fell flat in an unfriendly environment. Somehow Indiana must find answers…

Indiana might be catching Michigan at the wrong time. Already losers of five of six true road contests, IU arrives in Ann Arbor to face a Wolverine squad that appears to be rounding into form. After enduring a suspension to star point guard Zavier Simpson and a prolonged absence by forward Isaiah Livers due to injury, Michigan has all of their key contributors back.

What? …

Indiana begins a stretch of four out of five games on the road when it plays at Michigan at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday afternoon. Michigan’s Crisler Center has not always been a friendly environment for the Indiana University men’s basketball team, but the Hoosiers have certainly had their share of memorable moments against the Wolverines in the building. Here are our three favorites: Steve Alford’s game winner in 1987 Bob Knight was so excited about Steve Alford’s game-winner in Ann Arbor that he ran off the floor, fists in the air. In fact, the entire IU team ran off…
