MADISON, Wis. - Indiana's first road trip of the season didn't go nearly as planned.
The Hoosiers fell behind early. The offense sputtered. The defense didn't communicate well, didn't put up enough resistance for head coach Archie Miller's taste.
The result on the court was an 84-64 loss at Wisconsin. But that's the result of the 40 minutes of action on the court, and there's no changing that.
What results from the loss, however, will be far more important than just one game.
The Hoosiers headed to Madison with eight straight wins to open the season, including an impressive win over Florida State earlier in the week.
