IU hopes to keep rolling on the road
By Terry Hutchens
The Indianapolis Star
It has been a long time since life on the road in the Big Ten Conference has been easy for the Indiana University men's basketball team.
Since 1993 -- when IU went 8-1 on the road during a 17-1 conference title season -- the Hoosiers haven't won more than four games on the road in conference play. That could change today as No. 14 Indiana goes for a fifth conference road win at Ohio State (1 p.m., CBS-32).

Still, all of Ohio State's conference home wins have come against second-tier opponents: Northwestern, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan. The Buckeyes still must host Wisconsin, Purdue and Michigan State.
And Ohio State is 1-5 against Top 25 teams.
"They are really good at home, just like all of us in this league are," IU coach Kelvin Sampson said.
Maybe not all, but that's clearly the case with the top five teams. IU, Purdue, Michigan State, Wisconsin and Ohio State are a combined 64-4 at home, including 25-0 in Big Ten games. The rest of the conference is 40-32 and 7-22 in league games.
