Not on the road.  Not against a team this good. No, the fun loving fall behind early and rally for a win Hoosier narrative fell flat on its face in Ann Arbor on Sunday afternoon.

This will be IU’s biggest challenge since a November road loss at Duke.  Of course, that game didn’t go well for the Hoosiers, and Michigan has similarly been running opponents off the floor, especially on their home court.  The Wolverines have really only had…
