Indiana beats Incarnate Word 69-61: 5 things we learned
Indiana men’s basketball escaped an upset attempt from Incarnate Word in a 69-61 win on Sunday night at Assembly Hall.

Three takeaways from Indiana’s 69-61 win over Incarnate Word
Indiana men’s basketball faced real adversity for the first time all season, struggling to put away an Incarnate Word team that the Hoosiers were supposed to handle by 20-plus points.

Coming off an emotional, taxing win in Happy Valley, No. 2 Indiana didn’t look fully ready to play for the first two quarters against Wisconsin.
