Big Ten, Indiana and basketball

Dorn had a game-high 26 points in a 98-97 double-overtime win over UCLA on Saturday afternoon. He became the first IU player to hit at least six 3-point field goals in multiple Big Ten games in the same season since Yogi Ferrell in the 2014-15 campaign.
The stars for the Hoosiers were limited offensively, but a pair of players stepped up for a win in front of alumnus Mark Cuban. Here's what we learned:
Indiana basketball still has work to do. The Hoosiers (14-7, 5-5 Big Ten) are heading to Los Angeles looking to build on their recent two-game win streak that included an upset win over No. 12 Purdue.
Michigan, led by Olivia Olson’s 27 points, out-rebounded IU 37-25 and scored 54 points in the paint, highlighting how much Socka-Nguemen’s absence hurt. But the Hoosiers hurt themselves by making 23 turnovers and failing to break Michigan’s clamp-down full-court press.
Doyel: IU has found something with Nick Dorn starting, while Purdue looks lost as its losing skid hits three – and Matt Painter is losing his patience.
With wins against Purdue and UCLA and the commitment of Trevor Manhertz, the Hoosiers had their best week of the season thus far.
