Quick thoughts on a 87-70 win over Arkansas State:
How it happened: Early on, it looked as if Indiana would have trouble pulling away from another early season opponent on Branch McCracken Court. Arkansas State’s zone was effective early and through the game’s first 8:54, Indiana managed just 12 points. But once the Hoosiers cracked the zone, the floodgates opened offensively in the first half. The Hoosiers turned it over just four times before intermission and shot 14-of-24 on 2s to finish the first half with 1.34 points per possession. But this victory didn’t come easy for Indiana.
