Here’s a look at five takeaways from the loss to the Wolverines:
• Another slow start finally catches up to Indiana: In many ways, Indiana had been playing with fire over the last month with its poor starts to games.
The Hoosiers were able to overcome it against lesser teams like Butler, Louisville, Northwestern and Illinois, but not against one of the nation’s elite in Michigan.
Less than 12 minutes in, Indiana was already down 19 points and the Hoosiers played from behind throughout the contest. In his postgame comments, Archie Miller cited a lack of toughness as a primary reason for Indiana’s slow starts this season.
