I won't miss Reed Bailey at all... and won't miss his hair which always looks like pigpen or he stuck his finger in an electrical socket 

Indiana leads 28-19 at the under-8 MTO. IU is executing at a high-level on offense. Only complaint so far is that Jake West is getting to the rim way too easily. 

Under 8 MTO and IU is up 28-19. Jake West has had his way so far for the Wildcats with 9 points (4-4). It was good to see Dorn knock down a three as well. IU is 4-8 from 3pt range.

Indiana 28 Northwestern 19 7:29 1st Half

anyone wondering why Conerway doesn’t play- watch him on Defense! Dude runs right into every friggin screen!

Then watch Miles- that dude avoids screens   

NW has 20 points in the paint after a layup following a turnover by Alexis. DeVries calls a timeout and he was not happy with that pass by Alexis. 

Indiana takes a time out as Northwestern cuts the lead to 5. IU had 3 quick turnovers to let the Cats back in it.

Indiana 30 Northwestern 25 5:26 1st Half

IU leads 32-27 at the final MTO of the 1st half. Jake West continues to get to the rim anytime he wants to. 

We make West look like he is Jerry West!

Under 4 MTO and IU is teetering as turnovers have gotten Northwestern back in it. There have been very few fouls this half (so expect a whistle filled 2nd half).

Indiana 32 Northwestern 27 3:56 1st Half

NW takes the lead on back-to-back triples (33-32) but Nick Dorn answers with a three and Conerway gets a tough shot to restore IU's lead a bit. 37-33 and a timeout by NW to get Martinelli back in the game. 

That West kid is averaging 5 ppg but when he plays the Hoosiers he looks like Jerry West.

Defense is going to need to pick up in the 2nd half. It hasn't been very good so far. Not much pressure. Only 2 turnovers for NW.

Indiana leads 37-36 at the half...NW with 24 points in the paint and IU with 7 turnovers to just 2 for NW. Wilkerson with 10, Jake West with 14. Indiana has 20 minutes remaining to keep the season alive. 

Indiana will take a one point lead into half time. The script has sort of followed that of the game in February. IU turned the ball over seven times (6pts). The offense went stagnant and after a decent start Tucker DeVries has been a net negative. 

Jake West has torched Conor Enright for 14 points and that needs to be improved.
