Quick thoughts on a 68-60 win over Butler:
How it happened: It was a tale of two halves defensively for Indiana on Saturday afternoon at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Hoosiers seemed content to trade buckets early on and as Butler gained confidence (5-of-7 on 3s in the first half), the Bulldogs opened up nine point lead late in the opening half at 37-28. Indiana closed the gap with the final four points to make a five-point deficit at halftime, but the ledger on the defensive performance was not pretty. Indiana allowed Butler to score 1.14 points per possession before intermission, which is not sustainable for this group to win games.
