IOWA CITY, Iowa — 20 days after Indiana shocked the Big Ten with an upset win at Michigan State, the Hoosiers had No. 21 Iowa on the ropes.
It had all the makings of an upset. The Hoosiers responded every time Iowa seemed to grab momentum. They made clutch plays throughout the game. Juwan Morgan turned in a career defensive game with six blocks and three steals. Evan Fitzner enjoyed a resurgent performance. Rob Phinisee arguably had his best game of the season.
But in the end, three familiar foes crushed Indiana’s hopes in the 76-70 overtime loss: poor 3-point shooting, poor free-throw shooting and Jordan Bohannon.
