Thoughts on a 64-50 win against the Jackrabbits:
Call it a Thanksgiving hangover, perhaps, but today’s game against South Dakota State was Indiana’s worst effort of the season.
The Jackrabbits packed it in against the Hoosiers on defense, taking away Indiana’s preference to establish the inside. So several of Indiana’s offensive possessions this afternoon reminded you of last season, as the Hoosiers jacked up long 2s and 3-pointers outside the flow of the offense. Too many possessions ended in the Hoosiers settling for outside shots, playing into what the Jackrabbits appeared to want them to do.
