The Hoosiers are coming off a hard-fought win against UConn at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night. In a game that featured no Hoosiers in double-figures, they were able to use their defense and free throw shooting to hold off the Huskies.
It came a game after Indiana got blown out in their Big Ten opener at Wisconsin. The Badgers had not been playing well and turned around and lost to Rutgers, so it is a borderline bad loss for the Hoosiers. It was a game that kind of came as a shock after Indiana had just upset Florida State at Assembly Hall.
