The Indiana Hoosiers travel to play the Northwestern Wildcats in Big Ten action. Here's what happened in IU's loss.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Since Indiana earned a 77-76 overtime win at Ohio State on Jan. 17, it’s been a two-week downer. The Hoosiers lost (after leading) at Northwestern on Jan. 22. They also lost (after leading in the final minute) against Maryland Sunday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

The Hoosiers had Malik Reneau return, but he was limited. Their defense allowed Northwestern to have its best shooting performance of the season.

With their sometimes physical style, Northwestern fouls a lot. Big Ten opponents average 19.7 points at the line against Northwestern. That total is somewhat skewed by the 29 points Michigan scored at the line in the Wolverines’ 80-76 overtime victory over Northwestern Sunday, but it’s something Indiana might be able to exploit.
