In interviews, several aides, speaking on the condition of anonymity, expressed growing alarm that Cruz would lose Indiana’s primary on Tuesday — an outcome that would be a major blow to his hopes of holding Trump below the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the GOP nomination on the party convention’s first ballot. The aides concede that, without a win in an Indiana primary where 57 delegates are at stake, Cruz’s shot at the nomination would significantly narrow.

C'mon guys. It's already way past that whether Trump wins Indiana or not...

Even if Cruz could prevent Trump from getting the nomination on the first ballot, there is no way he would get the nomination on subsequent ballots. The GOPe hates him just as much and is using him. Jeb! has more of a chance of getting the nomination than Cruz.
