The 25th-ranked Indiana Hoosiers came back from an 11-point deficit on Saturday afternoon against the hometown Butler Bulldogs in the Crossroads Classic and won 71-68 on a buzzer-beating three by freshman phenom Rob Phinisee.
After the Bulldogs tied the game on a Kamar Baldwin bucket with less than 30 seconds remaining, the Hoosier offense got stagnant with a failed weave 30-feet from the basket, but Phinisee bailed Indiana out with an absolute bomb that tickled the twine as the horn sounded. Phinisee finished with nine points.
The rest of Indiana’s offensive success was all thanks to Juwan Morgan, who finished with a career-high 35 points on 14-of-16 shooting.
