Thoughts on an 84-82 win over the Hawkeyes:
Robert Johnson was today’s star. His nine 3-pointers — which tied an Indiana single-game record — saved the Hoosiers on a day their Big Ten best defense allowed 1.23 points per possession to the Hawkeyes.
But, late in the contest, as Juwan Morgan’s four fouls left him more timid than usual defending Iowa’s own star, Tyler Cook, Archie Miller made the decision to switch Freddie McSwain onto Cook. And McSwain came up huge.
With just over a minute to go and the game tied at 82-all after Cook had scored Iowa’s last four points with Morgan on him, McSwain stayed strong against Cook near the right low post and forced him baseline.
