PORTLAND, Ore. — Mike Woodson stood on the sideline with his arms crossed and a blank expression on his face watching Tommy Kuhse shoot free throws. It wasn’t even halftime yet — that was still four minutes away. The foul shots only put Saint Mary’s up by four, but it stopped any momentum Indiana had to regain the lead it possessed just four minutes before.
The Hoosiers would never take back the lead. Instead, Saint Mary’s piled the points on to hand Indiana its worst NCAA tournament loss in history — 82-53.
Indiana got off to a good start — leading for seven of the 11 first minutes.
