How To Watch Indiana Men’s Basketball Against Penn State
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana’s 73-58 victory over Purdue on Sunday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall was a good ending to the stretch in which the Hoosiers played 11 Quad 1 games in a row.
Indiana didn’t exactly thrive in this punishing stretch of the schedule as they finished 3-8. The wins were all surprises – road victories at Ohio State and Michigan State and the easy home win against Purdue – but the accumulation of losses put the Hoosiers smack dab on the NCAA Tournament bubble.
Still, it was a better fate than the predicted outcomes the metric sites had in mind for the Hoosiers. All of the games were predicted to be losses on kenpom.com. Indiana was able to beat its predicted doom and gave itself a chance to make the NCAA Tournament.
Penn State, tonight’s opponent for an 8:30 p.m. ET tipoff at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, is the first team Indiana has been predicted by the metric sites to beat since the Hoosiers played Southern California on Jan. 8. The Hoosiers are predicted by Kenpom to be a five-point winner.
This time? Indiana needs to live up to the predicted outcome. The Hoosiers have no margin for error in its quest to make the NCAA Tournament. A home loss to Penn State would be a Quad 2 loss and make Indiana 7-12 in Quad 1-2 games. It would undo some of the good Indiana created for itself with the win over Purdue.

A man’s family is demanding answers after he was shot by a security guard inside a hospital emergency room waiting area on Tuesday night in Gary, Indiana.
Methodist Northlake Hospital officials said, around midnight Tuesday night, its security staff responded quickly after a patient took out a gun. The hospital said he’d threatened to shoot himself or others.
The hospital commended the security guard who shot the man for “neutralizing the threat and helping ensure the safety of our patients and employees.”
Family members identified the man who was shot as Otis Brown. They said he is a kind father to a 12-year-old boy.
“Just a great person, a happy-go-lucky, always out there trying to do the right thing,” said his fiancée, Stacey Taylor.
Taylor said she was on a business trip when she got a call that Brown had been shot multiple times.
“Scared, uncertainty; you know, what story is right? You know, what happened?” she said.
After he was shot, Brown was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center for treatment.
Taylor said she had no idea why Brown went to Methodist Northlake Hospital in the first place. His family said he was trying to leave the hospital when the shooting happened, claiming that the hospital gave him his gun back after he was cleared to leave.
“We just want to get answers, just want to know what happened, particularly when people are defaming his name,” Taylor said.
She and Brown’s family hope the hospital has surveillance video footage that can help provide answers.
Gary police have not provided any details on the shooting. The Lake County Sheriff’s Department said it is investigating the shooting at the request of Gary police, but did not provide any further information.
