Quick thoughts on a 66-54 win over Ohio State:
How it happened: After a dismal performance on Wednesday against Northwestern, Indiana looked like a different team at the start of Saturday’s tilt with the No. 11 Buckeyes. Rob Phinisee, in the starting lineup for the first time all season, banged in 3-pointers as the offense started out scoring 2.01 points per possession by the first media timeout. But as is always the case with this group of Hoosiers, the offensive drought came. For a stretch of 11:17 in the first half, Indiana didn’t make a field goal.
