Indiana secured a crucial road victory over Maryland 84-66, improving to 12-3 overall and 3-1 in Big Ten play.

After a sluggish first half where the Hoosiers struggled to find offensive rhythm against Maryland's physical defense, IU leaned on relentless drives to the free throw line—going 16-for-16 in the opening half—to take a five-point lead into the break, then exploded in the second half behind Lamar Wilkerson's sensational stretch to pull away for an 18-point road win.

Andy, Coach Tonsoni, and Coach Moats break down the win and look ahead to a massive showdown with undefeated Nebraska:

• How Tayton Conerway and Conor Enright attacked the paint in the first half when Maryland's physicality took away Indiana's three-point looks, and why their aggressive drives to the basket opened up everything else
• Lamar Wilkerson's explosive 16-point second-half run where he scored 16 straight Indiana points to blow the game open, including a thunderous dunk that put an exclamation point on the victory
• The coaching adjustments Darian DeVries made throughout the game, and how Maryland's attempt to switch to a matchup zone in the second half backfired and opened up Indiana's offense even more
• Why Indiana's guards scoring 59 points with 18 rebounds and only four turnovers was the story of the game, and what it means for this team's ability to win different ways
• Trent Sisley's hustle plays on the offensive glass and his continued development as a freshman willing to do the little things to earn minutes
• The lingering rebounding concerns on free throw blockouts where Maryland got three offensive rebounds that led to kickout threes
• What this road win means for Indiana's resume heading into a critical four-game stretch against Nebraska, Michigan State, Iowa, and Michigan

Plus, as always: the big moments you might have missed, stats that stood out, and our game ball and hustle award.

Indiana handled Siena 81-60 to improve to 10-3 overall, closing out a solid non-conference slate before a 12-day break. The Hoosiers dominated the first half with a 46-20 lead behind intense defensive pressure, but struggled through the opening eight minutes of the second half before regaining control and pushing the lead back to 26 points.

Coach Tonsoni, Ryan, and Andy break down a tale of two halves that featured excellent stretches mixed with concerning lapses, highlighting both the team's potential and persistent issues as they prepare for Big Ten play.

• Lamar Wilkerson's first-half dominance with 19 points showcased his expanded offensive game with shot fakes, drives, and playmaking ability.
• Tayton Conerway's second-half spark attacking the rim rescued Indiana from an eight-point drought to start the half.
• Nick Dorn's shooting surge since returning from injury gives Indiana crucial floor spacing as a legitimate three-point threat.
• The persistent fouling problem with 26 fouls called raises concerns about how this team will handle more athletic Big Ten opponents.
• Tucker DeVries' 11 rebounds and early post touches suggest potential tactical adjustments for facing bigger conference competition.
• Trent Sisley's limited nine minutes and the team's 11 assists against 13 turnovers highlight rotation questions and offensive flow issues.
• The 10-3 non-conference finish positions Indiana as a fringe tournament team (28th in KenPom) heading into a loaded Big Ten with seven top-25 teams.
