Indiana has had nearly a week to get right what went wrong Sunday against Iowa.

The Hoosiers had a chance to work on different lineups after an awful rebounding performance (outrebounded 39-23). They had the chance to sharpen their shooting after failing to hit a three-pointer for the first time in 277 games. And they had a chance to figure out different ways to score after finishing with a season-low 43 points against the Hawkeyes.

IU (9-10, 3-4 Big Ten) will try to apply the week’s worth of practice today at Illinois (13-8, 5-3).

“We have done a lot of different things this week and looked at different combinations, and we’ll have to see what we decide to do once we get into (today),” IU coach Tom Crean said Friday. “The most important thing is that we are better rebounding the ball. When we win in this league, we get guards rebounding and more rebounding across the board. We are inconsistent with our rebounding, so that remains to be seen.”

Crean noted Iowa’s physical play.

“When they shoved us, we didn’t have leverage,” he said. “We didn’t make contact with them, so we went back to those kinds of things, and we feel like it is going to be the same type of game (today).”

Illinois, which has the Big Ten’s leading rebounder in Mike Davis (9.2 average), outrebounded IU 38-31 in the first meeting Jan. 9. The Illini rallied from a 15-point deficit to win win 66-60.

Illinois is coming off a win at Penn State that snapped a three-game losing streak.

One player who could have helped Indiana’s shooting woes is Matt Roth, who holds the Illinois high school record for career three-pointers. But the sophomore guard is still recovering from a foot injury he suffered before the Puerto Rico Tipoff in mid-November. Crean said there is a possibility Roth will get redshirted.

“He’s done everything that we’ve asked him to do from the point of the injury,” Crean said, “which is to train and rehab like he’s going to play, knowing that there was nothing any of us could do, but how that bone heals.”
