- Zach Osterman, IndyStar: Indiana 75-70
- “IU needs this in the worst way. IU also hasn’t beaten Northwestern in front of fans since the Archie Miller era, before COVID. The Hoosiers are playing their bogey team for their NCAA tournament lives in a neutral-site environment. Unpack that, if you can. Give me Indiana, narrowly.”
- Michael Niziolek, Herald-Times: Indiana 77-73
- “Indiana has a more talented roster, but that won’t guarantee a victory on Wednesday as evidenced by the first matchup between the teams. The Hoosiers collapsed in the second half of 72-68 loss to Northwestern earlier this season. Indiana has to do a better job of defending the perimeter and locking down Nick Martinelli. It wouldn’t hurt to have a little more energy at tipoff either.”
