Interior scoring troubles persist in IU basketball’s loss to Louisville

INDIANAPOLIS — It’s no secret — Indiana likes to shoot the 3-pointer.

The Hoosiers have averaged 28.5 attempts from beyond the arc through their first nine games this season. At times, Indiana’s willingness to fire from deep has been its calling card, the core component in a high-powered offensive attack. Regardless, as is often the case, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.

That’s exactly what happened when the Hoosiers attempted a season-high 34 3-pointers in their 87-78 loss to Louisville on Saturday afternoon at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Indiana has now lost two straight games after opening the season 7-0.
