Indiana advanced to 2-1 in conference play today with a home win over a Rutgers team missing its leading scorer. After Malik Reneau suffered a first half injury, Indiana was suddenly without its own leading scorer and the Real Big Ten contest ensued.
The win didn’t do much for Indiana’s statistical profile, but it was instructive nonetheless. The team shot like I’ve believed it could and found an offensive groove without two centers on the floor.
There will be plenty of discussion as to who started and finished the last two games, but so long as the wins keep coming.
