Four weeks ago, fresh off a home loss to Fort Wayne, we suggested that this Indiana team was missing an identity.  The talent was there, as could be seen only a game earlier when Indiana thrilled Hoosier Nation with a come from behind victory over Notre Dame.  But overall, the Hoosiers had been mostly soft on defense and rebounding, turnover prone, and wildly inconsistent shooting the ball.
