While we are heading into the second phase of the college basketball season -- the beginning of conference play -- there still are lots of questions that remain unanswered after the first month of play. Here are my answers to some of those questions:

Is Indiana all the way back?

This is a qualified "no." While the win over Kentucky at Assembly Hall was a spectacular scene and the next step in the rebuilding of the Hoosiers' program, I think Indiana is the recruiting class of 2012 away from being a top-10 program again.
