DAYTON, Ohio – Race Thompson dove to the floor for a tipped defensive rebound from Miller Kopp. He wrestled the ball out of Wyoming’s grasp for just enough time to call a timeout with six minutes left in the game.
Thompson finished with just four points on 2-of-9 shooting from the field as he battled through foul trouble in Indiana’s hard-nosed 66-58 victory over Wyoming. It was far from his best game on the stat sheet — even with seven rebounds. But when shots weren’t falling, he found other ways to help send his team to the first round of the NCAA tournament.
