Thoughts on a 69-68 win against the Eagles:
This was always going to be a part of the schedule where Indiana could slip and fall.
Coming off the emotional hangover of the Kansas game — whether win or lose — and playing three games in six days heading into Christmas break isn’t ideal. And yet, Indiana has to be better than tonight’s performance. Way better. It’s one thing to start slow and lack focus and energy. But as Indiana’s slow start turned into a downright terrible first half, which turned into a 15-point deficit with just 8:58 to play, the Hoosiers looked well on their way to a loss.
