No. 5 East – Indiana Hoosiers (Overall: 25-6, Conf: 15-3)<\/h2>\n

Team Strengths:<\/h3>\n

Indiana\u2019s firepower is just too much. The Hoosiers are almost scoring at will in most of their games this season and much of their offensive prowess come from their backcourt duo of Yogi Ferrell and Troy Williams. Ferrell, who averages 17.1 points per game, is the major catalyst of Indiana\u2019s offense that drops an incredible 82.7 points each contest.<\/p>\n

\"March-Madness---News-Banners_250x130_v2\"<\/a><\/p>What makes Indiana\u2019s offense even more impressive is its tantalizing efficiency. The Hoosiers have the second best effective field goal percentage in the nation with 58.9% and it has a lot to do with their deadly three-point shooting. The Hoosiers just love to throw bombs from deep, as they\u2019re second in the Division I with 10.1 threes per game on 41.5% shooting.<\/p>\n

KenPom even has Indiana\u2019s offense fourth in terms of adjusted offense efficiency<\/a> with 119.6 points per 100 possessions.<\/p>\n

Team Weaknesses:<\/h3>\n

The Hoosiers\u2019 defense allows just 68.8 points per game but it still could use some room for improvement. Indiana needs to its opponents\u2019 shots better, as the Hoosiers are allowing teams shoot 44.1% against them, which is just 144th<\/sup> in the nation. Their interior defense is also susceptible, as evidenced by their allowing opponents to shoot 41.5%<\/a> of their shots at the rim.<\/p>\n
