Thoughts on an 87-71 win against the Gamecocks:
Three games in the books for the Hoosiers. Three double-digit victories recorded.
Yet, it’s clear this team has a lot of room to grow. The consistency from possession to possession isn’t there yet, and the unfamiliarity of all the new faces despite the talent bump shows. The defense turns up in spurts. So does the offense. You waited for Indiana to go up 20-plus in this game and its bench to get playing time to close it out. But the Hoosiers couldn’t throw the knockout blow.
