Quick thoughts on a 74-67 loss to Northwestern:
How it happened: It was a nightmare start on Wednesday night at Assembly Hall for Indiana. Northwestern, confident from its blowout win on Sunday at home over Michigan State, was sharp offensively early and Indiana put up little resistance. By the 5:31 mark of the first half, the Wildcats led 33-18. With no home crowd to give energy, Indiana looked like a team on the ropes. Trayce Jackson-Davis gave Indiana a boost late in the first half and by halftime, Indiana had closed the gap to nine at 37-28.
