Indiana suffered an embarrassing 74-63 loss at Rutgers Wednesday night that will significantly narrow its path to make the 2021 NCAA tournament.
Here are five takeaways from the loss to the Scarlet Knights:
• Indiana’s fast start quickly disappears: With 9:42 remaining in the first half, Indiana had grown its lead to 23-8 and the Hoosiers were firing on all cylinders. Al Durham knocked down four early 3-pointers and Indiana’s defense was stringing together multiple stops.
But then the momentum of the game suddenly shifted and Rutgers took control of the game.
