25. Indiana Hoosiers

Fun Fact: Indiana held Ohio State to 14 percent shooting from three-point range in their home victory over the Buckeyes this last Saturday.

Indiana has had a bit of an up-and-down season, complete with a home loss to Eastern Washington. They’ve put together a nice stretch of games recently and have solidified themselves as a genuine contender in the Big Ten.

Yogi Ferrell has emerged as the leader the Hoosiers expected him to be during his freshman year. Now that he has gotten comfortable in that role, it has made the lives of freshmen James Blackmon and Robert Johnson so much easier, allowing them to be the scoring threats to take attention away from Ferrell.
