Thoughts on a 74-68 win against Iowa:
For a second straight game, Indiana played with more grit and determination, showing an elevated togetherness on defense.
But this time around? The shots fell and the Hoosiers made the plays down the stretch, earning tonight’s victory as a result.
It wasn’t all smiles. Malik Reneau went down with an ankle injury early in the first half and didn’t return. After being evaluated off the floor, he returned to the bench emotional and with crutches. Xavier Johnson also came down hard after getting fouled on a dunk attempt late in the second half, writhing in pain from an arm injury that didn’t look good.
