Quick thoughts on an 80-77 loss to Iowa:
How it happened: Indiana had a near flawless start on Saturday afternoon in the Big Ten tournament semifinals. The Hoosiers raced to a 15-3 lead and forced Fran McCaffery to use a timeout at the 14:20 mark of the first half. But the Hawkeyes had an answer from the perimeter and stormed back with four straight 3-pointers to get within two at 17-15 with 11:04 to play. By the 4:28 mark, Iowa led 27-26, but the Hoosiers answered with a 12-5 run to close the half. A late 3-pointer from Tamar Bates, who played the final few minutes after struggles from Miller Kopp and Parker Stewart, put the Hoosiers up 38-32.
