Indiana Basketball Just Caught a HUGE Break! | Plus BIG TEN Football Power Rankings!

Indiana Basketball's complete 2026-27 Big Ten schedule is officially here, and Darian DeVries and the Hoosiers may have caught a major break. Jacob Goins breaks down Indiana's 20-game Big Ten schedule, including the early road trip to Iowa, the West Coast swing against Oregon and Washington, huge home games inside Assembly Hall and a brutal five-game closing stretch featuring Purdue twice, Wisconsin, Michigan State and Ohio State. How favorable is Indiana's path through the Big Ten? Could the Hoosiers build enough momentum before the final stretch to put themselves in NCAA Tournament position? Plus, Jacob is joined by TJ Pittinger of Big Ten Football Addiction to discuss whether the Big Ten's national championship streak is in danger, the early struggles from Oregon and Ohio State, and where Indiana Football belongs in the latest Big Ten power rankings.
