[AC] IU-Washington Postgame Show
Indiana kept its late-season momentum rolling with a commanding 78-62 road victory over Washington, marking the Hoosiers' fourth win in their last five games and pushing their record to 18-11 (9-9).
Indiana kept its late-season momentum rolling with a commanding 78-62 road victory over Washington, marking the Hoosiers' fourth win in their last five games and pushing their record to 18-11 (9-9 in Big Ten play). IU controlled the game almost from the opening tip, building a double-digit first-half lead and responding decisively whenever Washington threatened to make it close.
Malik Reneau delivered a masterful performance despite coming off the bench, scoring an ultra-efficient 22 points on 10-of-13 shooting in just 25 minutes. Meanwhile, Luke Goode continued his hot shooting with 18 points including five three-pointers, helping Indiana connect on 9-of-23 from beyond the arc.
The Hoosiers' balanced attack featured five players scoring in double figures while dominating points in the paint (40-24) and bench points (35-10).
