Indiana will miss the NCAA tournament for the seventh time in nine years. This time, many believe they should have gotten in.

The Hoosiers were one of the first four teams left out of the tournament after going 19-13 on the season and 10-10 in the Big Ten. Indiana went 4-13 against Quad 1 teams and didn't have any losses outside of Quad 1. So they won a few games against really good teams and didn't suffer any bad losses. Among their big wins were a road victory over Big Ten champion Michigan State and a home win over Purdue.
