BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Life on the road in the Big Ten is never, ever easy.
It gets even tougher when shots aren't falling. It gets even tougher still when mistakes with the ball start to spiral out of control.
Indiana ran into both of those issues Wednesday night in a 59-50 loss at Rutgers, a game that saw IU shoot just 31.7 percent from the field overall and 2-of-19 from the 3-point line. IU also committed 16 turnovers, and the Hoosiers struggled to put together lengthy stretches of solid basketball.
The vastly improved Scarlet Knights certainly played a part in IU's issues as did the packed crowd at the Rutgers Athletic Center.
