Thoughts on a 68-55 win against Maryland:
Indiana has held halftime road leads a number of times this season, only to fail to finish the job over the final 20 minutes. But the Hoosiers didn’t even flirt with that this afternoon in College Park.
Because after falling behind 8-0 to start the contest, this was pretty much their game the rest of the way. Indiana locked down Maryland inside, blocking shots and being pesky and in position to contest attempts all game long. Maryland shot just 9-of-25 (36 percent) on dunks and layups today thanks to Indiana’s interior defense.
