Indiana played its first overtime game of the year in the last regular season, eking out a two point victory over a Michigan team that was playing to keep its season alive. It wasn’t pretty, but it was gutsy and helped the Hoosiers carry some positive momentum into the postseason after ugly loss to Iowa.
The victory clinched a double bye in this week’s conference tournament, something Indiana hasn’t had since since the 2016 Big Ten championship season. It also means Indiana will finish at least tied for second in the conference, pending the result of tonight’s Northwestern game.
