Here are five takeaways from the loss against the Jayhawks:
Indiana’s offense sputters in the second half
It was a tale of two halves offensively for Indiana.
The first half saw the Hoosiers shoot nearly 54 percent and score 40 points against one of the nation’s best defensive teams. Those 20 minutes helped Indiana build a lead and momentum in front of a raucous Assembly Hall crowd.
The second half, however, saw Kansas tighten the screws defensively and the Hoosiers wilt down the stretch as a result.
