Indiana’s offense looked stagnant for the first 30 minutes of action against Kennesaw State. But the Hoosiers switched up their strategy over the final 10 minutes of their win against the Owls to great effect. A close game became a double-digit victory (14 points) as Indiana played by far its most efficient offense of the contest down the stretch.
When Malik Reneau exited the game with 13:27 to go, Indiana went to a small-ball lineup with Race Thompson at the 5. Instead of Thompson posting down low, he played at the top of the key, allowing Indiana to go 5-out on offense and leave space for driving lanes.
