How to Watch Indiana Basketball Against Maryland in Big Ten Tournament
CHICAGO, Ill. – It's tournament time for coach Mike Woodson and the Indiana Hoosiers, who begin postseason play in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals.
Indiana secured the all-important double-bye to stay rested before a Friday night game against Maryland, a team that defeated Indiana in their lone matchup.
In last season's Big Ten Tournament, the Hoosiers won two crucial games to punch their ticket to the NCAA Tournament, and they're hoping to rekindle that same kind of momentum in Chicago.
"You've got to be ready to play," Trayce Jackson-Davis said. "You've got to be on top of everything when it comes to scouting, getting your body right, because it's a quick turnaround. I know [Jalen Hood-Schifino] is going to be ready, he's a great player. So we've just got to take it one game at a time."
