Yogi Ferrell helped lead Indiana to a record of 25-7, earning its first Big 10 regular season championship since 2013.

Ferrell plays nearly 35 minutes per game, averaging 17 points per outing. He shoots 46 percent from the floor and almost 42 percent from three-point range.

Although they lost early in the Big Ten Tournament, Indiana deserved better than the 5-seed they got. Now, they’re set up for a second-round game against Kentucky, assuming both heavily favored teams win in the opening round.

Some reward for finishing first in one of the best conferences in the nation.
