This clash will be a classic matchup of offense vs. defense. The perennial power Indiana Hoosiers bring a Top 20 offense into this battle, plus an electric scoring guard in Kevin "Yogi" Ferrell who averages 16.1 points and creates for his teammates as well, handing out 4.9 assists.
His partner in crime is freshman guard James Blackmon, who checks in at 15.8 points per game and 5.3 rebounds. Together the pair leads one of the nation's top 3-point shooting teams; the Hoosiers connect on 40 percent of their treys.
They will have to overcome a Shockers defense that limited opponents to the seventh-fewest points per game in the nation. The question for Wichita State isn't whether their D will hold up vs. big conference opponents-they've already proven it can. It is whether Ron Baker (15 points per game) and co. can muster up enough points to accompany that stout defense.
They might get a bit of help from Indiana in that regard, since the Hoosiers allow opponents to shoot a generous 45 percent from the field. Indiana's foes scored an average of 71.4 points.
