Thoughts on a 74-64 win against Maryland:
No down-the-strech collapse or middling late offense from the Hoosiers tonight.
In a winnable game it absolutely needed, Indiana shut the door in the closing minutes, making sure Maryland didn’t have a shot at sneaking out of Bloomington with the victory. A 3-pointer from Xavier Johnson followed by a dunk by Trayce Jackson-Davis put Indiana up 15 with 1:56 to go and that was about that.
After six straight games under a point per possession, Indiana’s offense sprung to life in this one. The Hoosiers scored 1.
