Indiana’s second to last offensive possession in its 74-69 loss to Wisconsin Tuesday night can serve more than one meaning.
In a literal sense, it was Indiana’s inability to execute. The Hoosiers were down by three with 19 seconds remaining, taking the ball out on a sideline out-of-bounds play. In reality, Indiana probably shouldn’t have even been in this situation, down three, in the first place. The Hoosiers led by three with 1:50 remaining before going cold offensively and letting Wisconsin’s Johnny Davis take over.
So with 19 seconds left, Indiana took a timeout to set itself for an offensive possession.
