BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — We have finally reached the point of no return for Indiana basketball on Thursday night. To make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in six years, the Hoosiers have to win against Maryland at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

It's a must-win situation, no doubt about it.

Indiana has lost five games in a row since the last time they saw Maryland back on Jan. 29. They are 16-10 now overall, and have to win to stay alive in their tourney chase. No one on Indiana's roster has played in the NCAAs before, so getting there hasn't been easy.

"We've got a group of people on our team that has never actually succeeded or done anything,'' Indiana junior Trayce Jackson-Davis said. "Learning how to win for guys like Parker who was at Pitt or Xavier who played at Pitt, actually playing to get into the tournament, they have never had to do it. 

"It's hard having that pressure for the first time. But Coach Woodson and ll of our coaches have been there, so we need to listen to them. But at the end of the day, players play and coaches coach, and we have to get it done on the court.''
