IU outscored nine of OSU's opponents
IU's defense held the national champions to 42 points -- same as Bama, Michigan, Oregon. You'll notice that two of those teams were in the Final Four; 7 other teams (including Wisky) allowed more points than IU.
This team is on the right track. I hope potential recruits are paying attention. Go B1G!
