"I feel like I'm a lot better than I was at the beginning of the season, but there's obviously a lot of room for improvement, too," he said. "I can definitely improve on defense, keeping the ball in front of me and that kind of stuff. But I feel like I'm getting a lot better and learning a lot."

"However, this team was never supposed to win many games. Even a .500 record would have been a long shot with a healthy Maurice Creek and Matt Roth. If IU doesn’t reach that 15-win plateau next year, then there might be significant reason for concern. But this program is moving forward, even if at the pace of a DeAndre Thomas marathon run."

"Throughout the season, IU has only been able to rely on two different players to carry the scoring load for the Hoosiers — freshman forward Christian Watford and sophomore guard Verdell Jones. When those two fail to deliver — as they did against Minnesota on Saturday — IU has to rely on other players."

"If the Hoosiers are to avoid a second consecutive last-place finish, they'll need to end what's now an eight-game losing streak. They have four games to go: at home against Wisconsin tonight (8 p.m., Big Ten Network), at Iowa on Sunday, at Purdue on Tuesday, and at home for Northwestern a week from Saturday."
