After a home loss to Wisconsin last Tuesday, Indiana (16-9, 7-8 Big Ten) is now on a four-game skid, the program’s longest losing streak since it lost its final six games last season. The Hoosiers’ upcoming slate doesn’t necessarily get easier, either – at least immediately.
Indiana will play on the road against No. 18 Ohio State (16-7, 9-5), two days after the Buckeyes lost to Iowa by 13 points in Columbus.
