What do the Hoosiers need to do at Michigan on Saturday? Just be themselves.\nRobert Vaden needs to continue his solid play of late, Marshall Strickland needs to be the senior leader he is and Marco Killingsworth needs to be, well, Marco Killingsworth -- minus the foul trouble. The key to this one could actually be Earl "Kyle" Calloway. If he can get the Hoosiers some easy transition buckets, IU might be able to snag its second Big Ten road win this week (and this season).\nOn the defensive side of the ball, the Hoosiers need to contain Daniel Horton. The senior guard is really the Wolverines' only threat to take over the game and he tallied 20 points and 5 assists in IU's 70-63 win back Jan. 3 at Assembly Hall. The Hoosier guards will have to do a better job on him defensively Saturday. Oh yeah, and Graham Brown absolutely CANNOT be allowed to haul in 21 rebounds this time around. That was just plain embarrassing. \nSaturday is an important game, if the Hoosiers come out on top, they will have 17 wins on the season, which should be enough to get them into the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2003. Translation: It's a big game boys. Now go get it done. \nPrediction: IU 73, \nMichigan 71.
