Thoughts on a 91-89 loss to the Hawkeyes:
It appeared the time off had done Indiana good.
The offense hummed to start this one, as Jalen Hood-Schifino dropped some serious dimes and splashed in 3-pointers. Trayce Jackson-Davis moved better after resting his back over the break, scoring through a double-team to start the contest.
Indiana led 22-4, then 27-8. It was about as impressive a start as one can hope for on the road in the Big Ten.
But with 4:27 to go in the first half, Tony Perkins fell on the back of Race Thompson’s right leg.
