Indiana men’s basketball followed up its first win in six years against Purdue with an 80-62 home loss to a Michigan team that was just a shade above .500. The Hoosiers didn’t seem to bring the same energy they had against the Boilermakers, letting the Wolverines go 11-17 on 3-pointers.
“We took it personally,” Race Thompson said in a postgame press conference Wednesday. “I think it was really about energy.”
Michigan got out to a fast start, taking an 11-4 lead just five minutes into the game. Indiana head coach Mike Woodson faced questions about his starting lineup in press conferences both after the game and in the days that followed.
