Indiana (5-2) at No. 7 Duke (6-1)
Cameron Indoor Stadium, Durham, 9:15 p.m. (ESPN)
The Hoosiers were ranked No. 15 in the preseason and expected to compete for the Big Ten title before losses in the Maui Invitational to unranked Wake Forest and Nevada-Las Vegas raised serious red flags. Indiana struggled mightily on the defensive end of the floor with ball screens and drivers – things Duke uses well. The Blue Devils also have the nation’s most efficient offense in this young season, according to statistician Ken Pomeroy.
