Hoosiers need a leader to emerge

Right now the Hoosiers need one thing -- a true leader. There needs to be a vocal presence on the court that spurs the team through the lulls that have plagued it lately. Tonight's home game against the Northwestern Wildcats provides IU with an opportunity to iron out the difficulties that have surfaced during the last few games. But there needs to be a forceful leader on the floor who commands the respect of his teammates, a guy the team looks to for confidence when it gets behind.\nWho will that leader be? I hope senior Marco Killingsworth realizes he would be the perfect guy to step up and take the reins. Tonight's game would be a great opportunity for Killingsworth to put the team on his back and right the ship, especially because a matchup with No. 1 Connecticut looms Saturday.\nMarco needs to take it upon himself to lead the team the way he did early in the season. I think he will, and I think the Hoosiers will have an easy night.
