Indiana wins with defense
Indiana’s defense has been its calling card all season and Tuesday was no different. The Hoosiers held Wyoming to just 58 points and .88 points per possession in their first NCAA tournament win since 2016.
Wyoming’s Hunter Maldonado, the most important player for the Cowboys, needed 16 field goal attempts and six trips to the foul line to score a team-high 21 points.
