Despite the highs of the previous season and being ranked as high as No. 3 in the nation , the Hoosiers faced a troubling and disappointing year ; they finished 18 – 16 overall and 7 – 11 in Big Ten play to finish in a tie for 10th place . At the Big Ten Tournament they defeated Iowa in the second round to advance to the quarterfinals where they lost to Wisconsin . The Hoosiers missed out on the NCAA Tournament and lost in the first round of the NIT , their first appearance since 2005 , to Georgia Tech . The game was played at Georgia Tech 's McCamish Pavilion because Indiana Athletic Director Fred Glass declined to host a home game at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall citing concern it would " devalue " the Hoosiers ' home court
