It was almost like seeing a whole new team Saturday at Assembly Hall. For at least one night, the defensive lapses that have plagued the IU basketball team were not there for IU’s 92-59 win against Morehead State.
It was refreshing, as the Hoosiers passed the eye test and improved in the box score.
IU out-rebounded MSU 35-31. The Hoosiers turned the ball over 13 times and forced 23 by the Eagles. IU even forced two shot-clock violations in the first half.
It was sound basketball.
The Eagles shot 31-percent from the floor and made just four triples.
