The Hoosiers dropped out of the the AP top-25 poll for the first time all season, with defense and turnovers as glaring areas of concern. Indiana has a chance to respond to back-to-back Big Ten losses on Wednesday against Penn State, but they'll have to do it on the road without seniors Xavier Johnson and Race Thompson.

"We've got to keep working," Indiana coach Mike Woodson said. "Nobody is going to feel sorry for the Indiana Hoosiers. And yes, we've got to key guys that are sitting on the bench not in uniform, but we've got other guys that are in uniform that's got to step up and play."
