Thoughts on a 68-60 win against the Bulldogs:
Make no mistake about it: The Hoosiers played an uninspired first half of basketball today against Butler. Indiana has been able to hang its hat on a stellar defense so far this season, but you wouldn’t know it watching the first 20 minutes of this contest. Miscues allowed open 3s for the Bulldogs and they converted (5-of-7). Ball pressure wasn’t as intense. Butler hit some tough shots, but Indiana also allowed for easier ones all the same. As the first half buzzer sounded, the Hoosiers had allowed 1.
