Indiana fell to 18-8 overall and 9-6 in Big Ten play with a 64-62 loss against Northwestern on Wednesday night at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
Here are five takeaways from the loss:
Indiana’s first-half defense was porous
It was a rough opening 20 minutes for Indiana defensively against Northwestern.
The Wildcats, for the most part, got what they wanted against the Hoosiers. Chase Audige, known as one of the streakier shooting guards in the league, got comfortable early as Indiana went under screens and paid for it.
But it wasn’t just Audige that had open looks.
