5 things Michigan basketball fans should know about Indiana

With the game against Indiana on deck, here’s what Michigan basketball should know about the Hoosiers.

The Wolverines will look to continue their hot streak come Saturday afternoon when they travel to Bloomington to take on the Indiana Hoosiers.

Michigan is coming off of back-to-back huge wins against top ten teams in the AP Top 25, and with Illinois looming this contest has the makings of a trap game. Coach Juwan Howard will need to make sure his players are ready to go after just a day of rest.

The Hoosiers are on the outside looking in when it comes to the NCAA Tournament and they will need some big wins in order to make it. IU is sitting at 12-11 (7-9) and is No. 10 in the Big Ten standings. A win against the No. 3 Wolverines could play dividends if they can manage the upset.

On the other side, the Wolverines are all but locked into the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament, and have a great chance at getting a No. 1 seed in the actual big dance. The Wolverines will need to finish strong in order to lock up the No. 1 seed they are looking for.

Before tuning into the game on Saturday afternoon, here are five things you should know about the Hoosiers.
