Indiana Basketball Preview
The Indiana Hoosiers were off to a 5-2 start to begin the season, with both losses to Top 25 teams, but have cooled off a bit since opening up their Big 10 schedule. In their first three conference games, Indiana has lost twice and needed an overtime period to outlast the Penn State Nittany Lions, who are winless in conference play. The Hoosiers have been struggling to create offense outside of their star forward Trayce Jackson-Davis, and will need to revisit their gameplan before going into battle with the Maryland Terrapins on Monday.
Key Player - Trayce Jackson-Davis
Indiana has a star in Trayce Jackson-Davis, and the rest of the college basketball world agrees. With his stellar performance thus far, Jackson-Davis has put his name in the running for the Naismith Trophy. The sophomore forward has averaged 20.1 points and 8.3 rebounds per game this season, in addition to blocking 1.9 shots per outing.

Now, the Terrapins must travel to face off against a strong Indiana basketball team, and try to avoid a 1-4 start on their conference schedule.
