IU needs to overcome internal woes

·

When IU lost to No. 11 Michigan State last March, it was the team’s eighth-straight loss and the 19th in 20 games. Yet after the way the Hoosiers performed against the eventual NCAA Tournament runner-up Spartans this year, there wasn’t much with which to be disappointed.
