Quick thoughts on an 87-68 win against Little Rock:
How it happened
With just 10 scholarship players available, it was an interesting first half for Indiana on Wednesday night. The Hoosiers inserted Malik Reneau in the starting lineup in place of Trayce Jackson-Davis, who sat out for precautionary reasons. Early on, it looked like Indiana would have no issue taking care of business against an OVC opponent.
But Little Rock didn’t go away quietly. The Trojans were physical, scrappy and were within seven at 37-30 with under two minutes left in the first half. The Hoosiers settled for a nine-point halftime cushion despite making only one 3-pointer in the first 20 minutes.
