Since 2011-12 @ 55.9%. Indiana is obviously pumped for this game and they have a guy like Yogi Ferrell. Iowa BETTER bring their A+ game or this will end out shot at the B1G title.
Indiana = Highest Winning % in B1G vs Top 25 teams

Ummm....no. They would still have a pretty good shot at an outright title. Indiana's schedule is much harder than Iowas, and I think Maryland will lose at least one game that they are favored to win.
But how have they practiced?
No idea, but this is the type of game where a guy like Nick Zeisloft goes 7-11 from 3
We'll have this same thread before the Minnesota game. Excited to read it!
Something about the op bothered me. I just realized, we don't play any Indiana teams from 2011/12 or other years....we only have to play the 2015/16 Indiana team!!! And they are 0-1 against top 25 teams.
I just hope we don't come out "tight" like we did against Maryland. If the Hawks play their game, guard the perimeter and keep Woody out of foul trouble, I think we are a good bet.
I wonder who Vegas will pick as the favorite? Kind of hope we are underdogs.

I think some fans who struggle with pessimism and uncontrollable worry post in hopes others will provide some sort of anxiety relief by responding with stuff like "the other team is no good, Iowa will win by +40."
The reality is 1) nobody ever knows for sure but 2) Iowa has a good shot of winning in Bloomington (if the season so far is any indicator of how they SHOULD perform). My honest thinking is Iowa has played good but pedestrian since really Rutgers and are probably due for an @Marquette/@MSU-type performance. So far, Clemmons has been a beast defending every team's top perimeter scoring threat. I see no reason why he won't make life miserable for Yogi Ferrell (as good as he is) on Thursday and, as other people have hit upon, if Woody stays on the floor and the entire team doesn't have a horrible shooting night, I think Iowa cold easily win by +10.
But there are so many variables and factors that go into any college basketball game. And Indiana has the potential to light up the scoreboard, sooooooooo....as the cliche' goes... "that's why they play the game."
