BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- It's Senior Day here, but don't feel bad if you can't name any of Indiana's four most veteran players.

Three of them rarely play. The fourth is Devan Dumes, who is averaging 6.9 points per game in 18.3 minutes.

Indiana enters this game having lost 11 straight -- and three in a row to Northwestern. The Hoosiers rank last in the Big Ten in scoring defense (71.1 points per game) and rebounding defense.

The Wildcats would love to win this game because it would give them a program-record 20 victories, plus back-to-back season sweeps over the former kings of the Big Ten.

Northwestern (19-11, 7-10 Big Ten) could use a boost from Drew Crawford, who has scored just 20 points over his last five games. Crawford appears to have gotten worn down by injuries and a long freshman season.
