Indiana flirted with an embarrassing defeat against Morehead State Tuesday night, but a combination of crucial plays down the stretch, both on offense and defense, helped the Hoosiers pull out with a 69-68 win.

It may not always look pretty, but Indiana has managed to obtain the better of the two results in these types of games.
In the first half, Indiana looked like a different team than the one that played on Saturday against Kansas.
