Four of the five losses were close games that came down to a big shot (or multiple big shots) for the opponent at the end of the game. Between Jordan Bohannon’s fall-away 3 to ice the game in Bloomington, C.J. Jackson’s deep 3 with Rob Phinisee in his face, Andre Wesson fooling Justin Smith on a slip play, Matt Haarms’ tip-in over Juwan Morgan off a missed Carsen Edwards jumper and Bohannon’s heroics in Iowa City, IU continually found itself on the wrong end of late-game drama.
It seemed the Hoosiers were headed down an all-too-familiar path Tuesday against No.
