It wasn’t pretty, nor was it particularly comfortable the whole time, but Indiana is 1-0 on the new season with a 69-63 win over Florida Gulf Coast. Not every Big Ten team was so lucky this week.
Trailing 48-42 with just over 10 minutes to play in the second half, the Hoosiers went on a 14-0 run to reclaim the lead and control of the game. The Eagles made it close again with a flurry of threes in the final minute, but Indiana held tough and made enough free throws down the stretch to escape with a win.
