Expectations for the Indiana Hoosiers have changed dramatically. They haven't been one of the Big Ten's elite teams in years, and the time that Indiana could be considered a legitimate national championship contender is basically ancient history.
The 2014-15 Hoosiers were supposed to be an ordinary team. They were picked as low as 11th in the Big Ten by some publications and media outlets, but embattled head coach Tom Crean saw the Hoosiers play an often surprising brand of offensive basketball that resulted in a 20-14 overall record along with a 9-9 conference mark that placed them seventh.
While that was not overly impressive, the Hoosiers held their breath on Selection Sunday and found that their prayers had been answered. They were the 10th-seeded team in the Midwest and received a matchup against seventh-seeded Wichita State. The Hoosiers pushed hard but dropped an 81-76 decision to the Shockers.
The Hoosiers showed some promise in the early and middle parts of the season, but they dropped five of their final seven games. Their individual grades reflect both the diminished expectations and disappointing finish for the team this season.
