Despite shooting just 12-for-22 from the line and not hitting from long range all afternoon, Indiana went toe-to-toe with No. 10/11 Illinois and had the contest tied at 62 with 1:29 left.
IU’s week on the court started poorly but ended better. The Hoosiers returned to Big Ten play in the last few days against Ohio State last night and Nebraska earlier in the week to mixed results.
After a holiday break, the Hoosiers returned to Assembly Hall Friday night for a marathon of a contest against Kennesaw State. In a fast-paced game, IU came out on top in their finale before Big Ten opposition resumes.
