Thoughts on a 78-71 win against the Cornhuskers:
Indiana found itself in a familiar spot as the first-half buzzer sounded.
It held a solid lead (45-39) on the road after a strong offensive first half (1.32 points per possession), putting itself in a position to win. But as we know, such leads have faded fast for the Hoosiers in the second half. They have crumbled. They have collapsed. They have failed to do what’s needed to close out road games so far this season. It’s been a major issue for a team with NCAA tournament aspirations.
