Five takeaways from Indiana’s overtime loss to Illinois

Indiana fell to Illinois 75-71 in overtime on Tuesday night and dropped to 9-8 overall and 4-6 in the Big Ten.

Here are five takeaways from the loss:

A tale of two halves: The Hoosiers put together a well-oiled first half and held a 41-34 advantage at the break. Indiana shot nearly 50 percent from the field and made 3-of-5 3-pointers. They only committed four turnovers.

But in the second half, Indiana’s offense fell out of sync. The Hoosiers missed six consecutive shots from the 14:01 mark to 9:39. Then, in the last 3:41 of regulation, Indiana went just 1-of-4 from the field.
