Is IU basketball a national title contender this season?

The Indiana Hoosiers basketball team is back in the national conversation, which is fantastic news. But, led by Trayce Jackson-Davis, are they in the national title conversation this year as well?

On today's episode of Locked on Hoosiers, Jacob Rude (@JacobRude) welcomes in Locked on College Basketball host Andy Patton (@AndyPattonCBB) to talk about IU. What is the outlook for IU this season and where does TJD factor into the National Player of the Year race?

While Indiana is back among the best teams in the Big Ten, will that be enough to get them in the conversation for a national title again this year? And what is the projection for Indiana in the Big Ten this season as well?

The show wraps by previewing Thursday's game for the Hoosiers against Bethune-Cookman. IU will be looking for stronger performances from Trayce Jackson-Davis and Xavier Johnson heading into a road trip to Xavier will be worth watching.
