Thoughts on a 69-63 win against the Eagles:
Mike Woodson wasn’t afraid to schedule stronger opponents for guarantee games this season. And with his Hoosiers still very much finding their way early on, you get a result like tonight … one that was too close for comfort, Pat Chambers and crew nearly leaving Bloomington with the upset.
Indiana was in a bad spot with 10:54 to go. The Hoosiers trailed by six, 48-42, after a made 3-pointer by Dallion Johnson. Mike Woodson called timeout. Out came CJ Gunn, who Woody immediately ripped in the huddle, after some poor defense by the sophomore led to the 3-pointer. In came Xavier Johnson.
