[AC] IU-Oregon Postgame Show
Indiana surrendered a late lead at Oregon, falling 73-64 after being outscored 10-0 in the final 1:30 when execution once again faltered at the worst possible time.
Indiana surrendered a late lead at Oregon, falling 73-64 after being outscored 10-0 in the final 1:30 when execution once again faltered at the worst possible time.
The Hoosiers competed well on the road against a surging Ducks team but couldn't overcome a massive free throw disparity (19-21 for Oregon vs 3-7 for IU) and 23 Oregon second-chance points.
Among the topics discussed:
Indiana's inability to generate quality shots late squandered a 64-63 lead created by Trey Galloway's clutch three-pointer
Anthony Leal's defensive impact, including a critical steal that tied the game at 61
Oregon's physical defense limited IU throughout, particularly in the second half
The two-big lineup showed both promise and limitations against Oregon's athleticism
Indiana's offensive struggles in crunch time (just 5 points in the final 8 minutes)
The massive rebounding disadvantage and 15 offensive rebounds surrendered
Critical implications for Saturday's regular-season finale against Ohio State
