After a quick 14-6 start against Morehead State in the season opener on Monday night, Indiana’s starters found themselves in a one-point hole after an 11-2 run from the Eagles.
Rather than sticking with the starters and more experience, Mike Woodson went to his bench to change the momentum.
Tamar Bates had a backdoor cut off a pass from Malik Reneau which led to a dunk. Indiana then forced a turnover and Bates banked in a deep 3-pointer from the left wing as the shot clock expired.
Just like that, the Hoosiers were back in business.
