How it happened: It was a promising start for Indiana on Sunday evening at Welsh-Ryan Arena. The Hoosiers raced out to a strong start and after a Robert Johnson 3-pointer, led 10-1 with 15:32 remaining in the first half. The Wildcat faithful were quiet. But the lead didn’t last for long. Northwestern came racing back and by the 7:49 mark of the first half, led 21-12. That was the end of the Hoosiers, who never got closer than six the rest of the way. Without James Blackmon Jr., the offense struggled mightily. Indiana actually held Northwestern to a respectable 1.
At the Buzzer: Northwestern 68, Indiana 55
