NASSAU PARADISE ISLAND, The Bahamas – With just under three minutes remaining in the first half, Indiana could’ve let things unravel very quickly. The Hoosiers’ lead, which was once 12 points after a 14-2 start, had been whittled down to just one. Their offense quiet, their momentum gone.
It was a familiar spot, exactly the type of situation that Indiana had faced on multiple occasions last season, whether it be against Rutgers or Michigan State, where a dominant start turned sour in a matter of a few minutes.
On Sunday, in its second Bahamas exhibition game against BC Mega, Indiana was faced with its first major adversity under new head coach Mike Woodson.
