We got to jump all over Indiana on Sunday

Time to turn the tables on that program for a couple of decades.

Thinking it will be a tough one, since I don't see them playing as poorly as they did tonight two games in a row. And if we win, they will be the highest-ranked KenPom team we would have beaten. Not an easy matchup by any means, and it starts a rough stretch coming up.

Edit: Indiana dropped below Dayton in Kenpom after I wrote this, thanks to the Michigan abomination.

I feel like Sunday is one that NU really needs to win to make selection Sunday comfortable. Win this and one of the really tough games, and I think you can book the tournament.

It would certainly help a lot given the brutalness of our remaining schedule. Our magic number still appears to be 12 total wins (including BTT) If we beat Indiana, and assuming we beat the Illini twice and Rutgers, that is 10. Then the pressure is a bit off for the murderer's row of remaining games, as we would only need to win once or twice (depending whether we get a BTT win) vs. Purdue (twice), Wisky (at Kohl). home vs. Maryland, home vs. Michigan, away vs. Indiana.

Believe it or not, Sunday is actually the fourth-easiest game we have left, according to KenPom. The others are Rutgers, Illinois and Maryland, the last one being a little bit underrated, imo. It's not a must win, but it's certainly a should win.
