After a blistering offensive start where the Hoosiers hit five threes on their first five possessions, IU had to navigate second-half foul trouble and some offensive struggles before securing the W.
Indiana knocked off Washington 90-80 to improve to 11-3 overall and 2-1 in Big Ten play. After a blistering offensive start where the Hoosiers hit five threes on their first five possessions, they had to navigate second-half foul trouble and some offensive struggles before pulling away for a crucial home victory.
Andy, Coach Tonsoni, Ryan, and Jerod break down the win and look ahead to a big road test at Maryland:
How Tayton Conerway and Conor Enright torched Washington’s triangle-and-two defense designed to stop Tucker DeVries and Lamar Wilkerson
The coaching adjustments Darian DeVries made throughout the game, including strategic zone looks and rotation decisions that neutralized Washington’s size
Trent Sisley’s explosive second-half stretch where he channeled his inner Strap from Hoosiers and single-handedly extended Indiana’s lead
Why Indiana’s second-half foul trouble kept Washington in the game despite dominant stretches, and whether aggressive defense is worth the trade-off
Lamar Wilkerson’s clutch performance down the stretch and how he continues to evolve as more than just a shooter
What this balanced scoring effort (eight players with 4+ points) means for Indiana’s ability to beat different defensive schemes
Coach Tonsoni’s incredible Rose Bowl experience and reflections on the Indiana football program’s historic moment
Plus, as always: the big moments you might have missed, stats that stood out, and our game ball and hustle award.
