Indiana must win final two games to reach 2026 NCAA Tournament, facing elimination.

The 2026 NCAA Tournament field remains uncertain, with Indiana on the brink of missing the postseason despite being listed as the last team in by ESPN’s Joe Lunardi. The Hoosiers, at 17-12 and 8-10 in the Big Ten, must win their final two games—against Minnesota and Ohio State—to secure an at-large bid, as a four-game losing streak and a weak Quad 1 record hurt their resume. Their fate hinges on a strong finish, with a win over Ohio State potentially guaranteeing a spot. Meanwhile, Miami-Ohio remains undefeated at 29-0, drawing national attention and scrutiny over its schedule, while the Big Ten’s tournament field could see 9 or 10 teams depending on outcomes.
