Quick thoughts on a 69-60 loss at Illinois:
How it happened: Wednesday’s disappointing home loss to Northwestern put pressure on Indiana to respond on Saturday afternoon in Champaign. And while Indiana fell to 0-2 in Big Ten play for the first time since the 2013-14 season, it did put up a fight in hard fought loss. After a poor first half offensively for both teams that saw Illinois take a 29-27 lead into the locker room, both teams were much more sharp after intermission. The difference in this one, however, was a pair of runs led by Ayo Dosumu (30 points) that Indiana simply couldn’t match.
