Despite some struggles with free throw shooting, Indiana has shown improvement and is currently on a five-game winning streak. Their offense averages 72.9 points per game on 48.3% shooting, while their defense allows 74.2 points per game on 42.2% shooting. With a power ranking of 327, Indiana ranks 198th in offense and 255th in defense.
