The Minute After: Northern Illinois

Thoughts on an 85-49 win against the Huskies:

While the Hoosiers emerged victorious on Tuesday night against Eastern Michigan, the ghost of the Archie Miller era haunted the second half. Indiana failed to put the Eagles away, as a 21-point lead whittled down to just a one-point margin late in the contest before Xavier Johson helped close it out for the Hoosiers to move to 1-0 on the season.

Between games the Hoosiers vowed to correct it. And boy did they ever tonight. This was a legit throat-stepping, Indiana asserting itself in a big way on both sides of the ball early and never relenting.
