Quick thoughts on a 100-87 win against Kennesaw State:
How it happened
Indiana didn’t look short-handed at the tipoff of Friday’s non-conference finale. With Xavier Johnson still sidelined with a foot injury and Kel’el Ware out with an illness, the Hoosiers buried four 3-pointers before the first media timeout and raced to an 18-8 lead against Kennesaw State. By the under-eight media timeout of the first, Indiana had stretched the lead to 13 at 37-24. But the Hoosiers couldn’t get stops the final seven minutes of the half. Kennesaw State came roaring back on the strength of its 3-point shooting.
