INDIANAPOLIS – On January 24, Indiana led Oregon 32-22 with five minutes left in the third quarter at Knight Arena. It was the first game of Indiana’s West Coast trip. The Hoosiers were in a position to start their road trip off with a win, but they crumbled.
A costly fourth quarter featured seven Indiana turnovers and one made basket in the final four minutes. The loss extended IU’s losing streak to three games and they had to accept a loss that slipped out of their hands.
But Thursday afternoon in the Big Ten tournament’s second round at Gainbridge Fieldhouse was a different story.
