In this story:


Following Saturday's overtime win against Wisconsin, Indiana has a quick turnaround to Monday's home game against Oregon. It's an opportunity for the Hoosiers to pick up their fifth win over the last six games and further solidify their NCAA Tournament chances.

The Ducks were a tough matchup for Indiana last season, winning the lone regular season contest and ending the Hoosiers' season in the Big Ten Tournament. Center Nate Bittle and guard Jackson Shelstad returned and created optimism around Oregon going into the year, but both have missed time due to injury, a main reason for the Ducks' disappointing 8-15 record.

Shelstad remains out for Monday's game against Indiana, but Bittle returned Saturday at Purdue for the first time in nearly a month. And despite being 18.5-point underdogs, the Ducks took the Boilermakers down to the wire at Mackey Arena before falling 68-64.

Monday's game also comes with coaching ties between first-year Indiana coach Darian DeVries and 16th-year Oregon coach Dana Altman. DeVries was an assistant coach on Altman's staff at Creighton from 2001-10, helping the BlueJays win three Missouri Valley Conference titles and make five NCAA Tournament appearances.

Here's more information on the game.
