IU broke its long five-game losing streak with a victory over Maryland on Thursday night to keep its NCAA tournament hopes alive.
IU's losing streak continued as the Hoosiers suffered yet another loss to the Wisconsin Badgers.
It was the worst week of the season to date for the Hoosiers as two losses and off-court troubles have IU fans fearing a similar collapse in February that has occurred the last several years in a row.
Despite some good, often wide-open looks, the Illini missed their first six 3-point attempts of the second half. Two of them were air balls.
IU only played one game this week and it was against a ranked Illinois team. After a strong first half, the Hoosiers faded in the final 20 minutes in a disappointing loss.
