Thoughts on a 90-55 win against the Panthers:
Indiana played groggy in the first half of this noon tipoff.
“I thought we were still in bed asleep,” Mike Woodson said. “It was awful.”
The Hoosiers feigned interest, playing uninspired basketball with no edge.
As such, the Panthers, a team that lost by 45 to Illinois to begin their season, led 37-36 at halftime. The Hoosiers couldn’t stop Nakyel Shelton, who scored 15 points in the first half and made more 3-pointers himself (3-of-5) than Indiana made as a team (2-of-7). Just like to start the opener, Indiana played sloppy, turning the ball over on 23 percent of its possessions in the first 20 minutes of the contest.
