The outcome of Saturday’s game had already been decided. Indiana was going to win, and did so somewhat comfortably, against No. 11 Ohio State inside a vocal Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
It could serve as a defining moment in the 2019-20 season and in the coaching tenure of Archie Miller, with the win coming in response to questions about the team’s commitment and the program’s direction.
With the win secured, and the criticism silenced at least for a moment, Green put an emphatic stamp on the result.
A breakaway opportunity presented itself, and with the Hoosiers up 10 points on a top-15 team at home, no one would deny Green a moment of exuberance.
