Despite getting off to a strong start of 12 – 2 , which included 3 conference wins , IU struggled mightily down the backstretch of the season . Riddled with injuries and the inability to shoot , the Hoosiers lost 12 of 13 games before turning things around and finishing the regular season with a 4-game winning streak . Having put themselves back into the conversation for making the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 3 years , the Hoosiers looked to knock off Ohio State in the Big Ten Tournament . With a win , many bracketologists had IU safely in the field . However , the Hoosiers fell short and lost to Ohio State , 75 – 79 . IU was deemed one of the Last Four Out in the NCAA Tournament , so they earned 1-seed in the NIT , where they advanced to the Quarterfinals before losing to Wichita State , 63 – 73 . Thus , the Hoosiers 119th season ended with an overall record of 19 – 16 and 8 – 12 in the Big Ten
