His frustration reached a boiling point. In the face of a two-score advantage late in the fourth, Curt Cignetti paced the west sideline with a stern look.

In front of him, a sloppy performance full of miscues and mistakes. Despite No. 20 Indiana’s 27-14 win against Old Dominion to open the regular season Saturday, Cignetti was far from thrilled.

After exchanging a handshake with Old Dominion’s coach, Ricky Rahne, Cignetti bolted towards the locker room sporting a look of disgust. Though calmer, the second-year head coach was matter-of-fact in his postgame press conference.

“I guarantee you, everybody in this organization realizes we didn’t play as well as we wanted to,” Cignetti said.
