BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana coach Archie Miller searched desperately for answers in the second half Tuesday night.

Eventually, Juwan Morgan came through. Again.

He scored 23 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, had four assists and made play after play in a closing flurry that helped the Hoosiers finally fend off Texas-Arlington 78-64.

"I thought the last six minutes, five minutes of the game our leadership from Juwan stood out," a relieved Miller said. "Guys started to play with more energy and were able to rally and finish the game, which is what you hope."

It sure wasn't easy, as Miller had warned before tip-off, and there was plenty of angst inside Assembly Hall as the Mavericks (3-2) methodically trimmed a 20-point second-half deficit to one with 6:33 left to play.
