NASSAU, Bahamas – As Indiana basketball trailed by 30+ points in a thumping against Louisville to open the Battle 4 Atlantis Wednesday, head coach Mike Woodson stood still, arms on his hips, before taking a seat on the bench for the remainder of the game. All the while, first-year Louisville head coach Pat Kelsey continued to bark orders and directions to his team.
In an 89-61 game whose final score generously understated the true product, Woodson’s Hoosiers looked hopelessly unprepared and unable to make key adjustments. With another two games to play in the next two days, this raises concerns about how competitive Indiana will be in closing out the neutral-site tournament.
