1) The B1G is likely, top to bottom, the best conference in America this year.
2) Winning streaks against ranked B1G opponents are GREAT evidence of improvement and accomplishment.
3) Standing by the team through thick and thin is a good thing. A very good thing.
(As long as your team is working hard, working toward college degrees, and is accepting coaching).
4) The Hoosiers are playing three guys out of nine or ten rotation players who had rotation minutes in college basketball before this year. My expectations for the team this year were that they would take plenty of lumps, but that as the year progressed the offensive spacing and ball movement, turnover ratio, team unity, defensive rotation and help-side defense, and decision making would all improve, and that would lead to more wins.
That is currently what I see going on. Won't happen every game, but it's happening.
