This week, Indiana University will face UCLA in a historic matchup, marking the Hoosiers' first true road game of the season at Rose Bowl Stadium after 56 years. Both head coaches, Indiana's Curt Cignetti and UCLA's DeShaun Foster, are preparing for their inaugural Big Ten games, with Foster having recently taken the helm at UCLA. Meanwhile, UCLA enters the game with a 1-0 record after narrowly defeating Hawaii, while Indiana's performance has shown promise under Cignetti's leadership. In a separate survey, Michigan fans expressed skepticism about their team's prospects, anticipating only eight or nine wins this season after a disappointing loss to Texas. Despite this pessimism, analysts still see potential for Michigan to rebound against weaker opponents like Arkansas State. Lastly, a recent preview from Lindy’s Sports highlights the strength of the Big Ten, projecting multiple teams, including Indiana, to perform well in the upcoming NCAA tournament.
