Disaster averted. At least for now. They say a win is a win — a “Big Ten win” as IU head coach Archie Miller called his team’s 66-62 victory against Northwestern on Wednesday night.  There is no arguing any of that.  Indiana did indeed win.

With Indiana fans currently obsessing over how long it should take to turn around a college basketball program, Northwestern presents a different question — what does that even mean? If you had asked any Wildcat fan whether head coach Chris Collins had turned around the NU program in 2017, the answer would have been an unwavering yes. That was after the Wildcats had made their first ever NCAA Tournament and advanced to the second round. Since then, Northwestern has produced a losing record each year and the trend signs are pointing down. The turnaround is only step one.  As the…
