Thoughts on a 79-61 win over Northern Kentucky:
It was, as it has often been this season, a tale of two halves for Indiana tonight in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
Indiana started strong against Northern Kentucky, which played a matchup zone to very little success throughout the contest.
The Hoosiers scored early and often inside as Trayce Jackson-Davis, Race Thompson, Michael Durr and Jordan Geronimo scored 26 of the team’s 38 first half points.
Defensively, Indiana held the Norse to a putrid 5-of-32 shooting performance in the first half. It didn’t help Northern Kentucky that its second-leading scorer, Trevon Faulkner, picked up three fouls in four first half minutes.
