Thoughts on a 71-64 loss against Arkansas:
An eventful evening inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall was full of moments that hurt Indiana’s chances of completing a perfect 11-0 nonconference record.
First was the pregame announcement that redshirt freshman Jerome Hunter would miss the game with a thigh bruise.
Then, with 7:18 left in a tight first half that saw Arkansas launch a ton of 3-pointers and Trayce Jackson-Davis assert himself around the rim, the Hoosiers lost another player for the rest of the game.
Junior Al Durham, a team captain, made a rash and regrettable mistake when he sent his right elbow into the chin of Arkansas forward Adrio Bailey as the Razorbacks brought the ball up the court.
