On the whole the Indiana basketball program is still regarded as a national power blue blood program. Indiana’s marquee brand is built on a long ago past. The Hoosiers have not been to the Big Dance since 2016 and have not been to the Final Four since 2002. As a matter of fact, the program hasn’t lived up to billing since Bob Knight led them to the Final Four in 1992. Archie Miller looks to have a solid chance to get IU’s dancing shoes out this spring. Indiana looks like one of the most improved teams in College Basketball betting.
