Yesterday, I took my first trip to Welsh Ryan arena to see what was advertised as a Big Ten men’s basketball game between Northwestern and Indiana. Instead, I saw a lot of missed free throws, wrestling in the paint, and a walk-on playing important minutes for the Hoosiers in the first half. By the end of it, the referees declared Northwestern had won by a score of 59-51, dropping the Hoosiers to 16-7 overall and 7-6 within conference play.

Indiana was without Xavier Johnson, Parker Stewart, Khristian Lander, Michael Durr, and Tamar Bates yesterday due to an apparent violation of team rules.
