Indiana makes its first trip out west since the Big Ten expanded at the beginning of the 2024-25 season, with matchups against Washington and Oregon on Saturday and Tuesday, respectively.

After losing seven times in an eight-game stretch, the Hoosiers have bounced back with three wins in their last four games. That's put coach Mike Woodson's team back into the NCAA Tournament picture, though they'll need a few more wins to secure their spot.

It's been a year of firsts for Washington, one of four Big Ten newcomers, which hired new head coach Danny Sprinkle and has a new-look roster. The Huskies have lost their last three games and fell into last place in the Big Ten standings at 4-13 in conference play.

With his college career nearing an end, Indiana senior guard Trey Galloway is pushing the Hoosiers to finish on a high note.

"I think we're coming together and we know we're a better team than we've shown," Galloway said. "And we still have a chance and we're fighting for a spot in the tournament."
