There were moments when Indiana looked like it was going to get run out of MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday night. And then there were moments when Indiana looked like it might win the game. That’s just the kind of clash Indiana’s 89-75 loss to Arizona was in Sin City.
Indiana had moments of adversity from the shaky opening 10 minutes where it fell behind by 19 points to the missed goaltending and questionable flop call in the second half. But those moments were handled. It would have been easy for the Hoosiers to roll over and wave the white flag in these moments, but they didn’t.
