Indiana's troubling downward spiral hit a new low as the Hoosiers were blitzed early, falling behind 26-4 in the opening minutes en route to a 76-64 loss at Wisconsin. The final 12-point margin masked what was effectively a 20-point defeat, as Indiana only made it close with late points against Wisconsin's reserves. While freshman Bryson Tucker provided a rare bright spot with improved three-point shooting, the team's continued defensive lapses and stagnant offensive execution painted a grim picture with just eight regular season games remaining.Topics Analyzed:A devastating start that saw Indiana fall behind by 22 points in just six minutes, raising serious questions about preparation and effortMike Woodson's halftime lineup change moving away from the two-big lineup showed some promise but proved too lateConcerning body language and competitive response when trailing, continuing a worrying trendBryson Tucker's development, including hitting two three-pointers after making just one all season priorWisconsin exploiting Indiana's perimeter defense to shoot 12-29 (41.4%) from three-point rangeGrowing questions about the program's direction amid a sixth loss in seven gamesPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.

Indiana put together one of its better performances of the season but ultimately came up short in an 81-76 loss at #10 Purdue. The Hoosiers led by as many as seven points in the first half and showed tremendous resilience in the second half, responding to a Purdue run with a 12-0 spurt of their own to retake the lead. However, the Boilermakers made enough plays down the stretch to secure the victory -- and Indiana made enough mistakes to ensure defeat.Mackenzie Mgbako led IU with 25 points in perhaps his best game as a Hoosier, while Trey Galloway added 16 points and sparked the second-half comeback. The five-man group of Mgbako, Galloway, Luke Goode, Anthony Leal and Umar Ballo played nearly the entire second half and showed tremendous fight, though fatigue may have been a factor late.Key Talking Points:Strong defensive effort limiting Purdue to 2-13 from three-point range20 turnovers prove costly, leading to 26 Purdue pointsBench contributes 28 points behind Galloway and GoodeLittle production from starters Myles Rice (0 points) and Malik Reneau (3 points)Final possession execution costs IU chance at potential game-tying shotPlus, as always, the Banner Moment, Meaningful Moments You Might Have Missed, Inside the Numbers, and our Game Balls, Hustle Award, and Lingering Questions.
