Quick thoughts on a 66-63 loss to Rutgers:
How it happened: It was a strong offensive start for Indiana in its final home game. The Hoosiers led Rutgers 14-6 by the 14:33 mark after a second chance bucket from Race Thompson. Trayce Jackson-Davis was dominant early with nine of Indiana’s first 14 points. The Scarlet Knights, also on the NCAA tournament bubble, answered with six straight points to cut the lead to two at the 13:13 mark. Indiana was able to stretch its lead to 10 late in the half on a Jordan Geronimo jumper, but Geo Baker answered with a 3-pointer and the Hoosiers settled for a 32-25 cushion at intermission.
