  • FINAL –– INDIANA, 63, MARYLAND 55
  • Story and column to come

10 p.m. – Trayce Jackson-Davis finishes with 22 points and 15 rebounds after a rough start, and the Hoosiers even up their record in the Big Ten. Huge comeback victory after being down nine.

9:55 p.m. – Backcourt violation by Indiana at 1:28, foul by Hunter on the inbounds, but Maryland missed the one-and one. Hunter takes a quick three-pointer and makes it. 60-48. 

9:51 – Maryland finally scores at the 2:25 mark. They went more than six minutes without a point. And then Trayce scores again on the other side. Indiana up 57-47 with 1:50 to go. 

9:47 – Trayce Jackson-Davis (20-12) and Race Thompson (13-11) both have double doubles for Indiana tonight. 

9:45: Well, they are walking the walk. Maryland didn't score a single point in that four-minute window and Indiana now stretches its lead to 53-45. We're at the final media timeout. Can they lock in for four more minutes?

9:40 – Trayce Jackson-Davis gets fouled but it looks like he got hurt, too. Rubbing his right knee. Makes the first free throw though, missed the second but another lane violation on Maryland, its second of the night. Indiana leads 51-45. Seems OK, he scores again and its 53-45. 

9:35 p.m. ET – We're at the World's Great 8-Minute Timeout and Indiana leads 47-45. This exact moment was discussed in Sunday's pressers, that Indiana CANNOT play with any fatigue going forward and they have to lock in. They've talked the talk, now can they walk the walk? 

9:30 – What's gotten into the Hoosiers? Jerome Hunter makes a three, then Trayce Jackson-Davis gets a steal and a dunk on the other end. Indiana has its biggest lead of the night at 47-43. Maryland coach Mark Turgeon forced to call a timeout. 

9:29 p.m. – And Indiana finally takes the lead on two Race Thompson free throws, leading 42-41 with 1);35 to go. We've seen this script before in EVERY Big Ten game this season. 

9:22 p.m. – Finally a burst of energy from Indiana. A three-pointer from Al Durham and two baskets from Trayce Jackson-Davis, the second an and-one, and the Hoosiers cut that nine-point lead to one,. It's 39-38 Maryland with 11:53 to go at the second media timeout, but the Terps have three foul shots coming. Stupid foul by Jerome Hunter.

9:15 p.m. – And Indiana finally makes a three-pointer. Rob Phinisee ends the miss streak at 11. Hoosiers trail 37-30. Indiana's guards are a combined 4-for-18 from the field right now. Indiana is 7-for-8 from the line though, so that's a thing.

9:10 p.m. – First media timeout and Maryland has stretched its lead out to nine points, at 34-25. Indiana averaging a point a minute. They came into the game averaging 72.7 points per game.

9:01 p.m. ET – Second half starts, and Armaan Franklin is not on the floor for the Hoosiers. Huge loss with an apparent ankle injury.

HALFTIME — Tough on the eyes, that one. Maryland leads Indiana 27-21 at the turn. As you'd guess with 21 points, Indiana is really struggling to score, especially from three-point range, where they've missed all NINE shots. Al Durham and Trey Galloway, both 0-for-3 from deep. Trayce Jackson-Davis has five points on just 2-for-8 shooting. It's got to get better quickly.

8:38 p.m. – Final first half media timeout and Maryland leads 20-18. Geronimo is playing the 4, which Archie Miller said they were going to need to do to add more depth up front. He's up there with Race Thompson right now. Race has been great tonight. He's got nine points and seven rebounds already. 

8:35 p.m. – Armaan Franklin is walking around behind the IU bench, but hobbling while he's doing it. Probably won't see him the rest of the half. Race Thompson with a nice drive to the basket and the game is tied at 18. Jordan Geronimo enters the game for the first time. Galloway and Leal in too, so three freshmen. 

8:30 p.m. – The good news is that Indiana scores on three straight possessions, the bad news is that two of the buckets came off bobbled passes. Having a hard time with Maryland's 3-2 zone. but still they're right back in it now, trailing 18-15 at the third media timeout. 7:14 to go in the first. Race Thompson leading the way with seven points for Indiana.

8:25 – Anthony Leal in the for the Hoosiers, makes a nice pass inside to Trayce Jackson-Davis, but he can't convert. Indiana is 4-for-17 from the field and Trayce is 0-for-4. 

8:20 – Trey Galloway gets undercut and lands hard in his left elbow. Always hate seeing him go down hard like that after dealing with wrist injuries from falls in high school. Lander came in for Franklin, and had a turnover on his first possession of the game, getting sloppy with the ball up top. The freshmen need to play, as we've discussed, but those bad turnovers early really hurt the look. Maryland leads 12-6. 

8:15 p.m. – Armaan Franklin goes down hard on a drive and it looks like he twisted his left ankle pretty good. Hobbled off, but needed to sit right down. That would be a huge loss for Indiana. Second-leading scorer. Khristian Lander comes in.

8:10 p.m. ET – Fast-paced start, and Maryland leads at the first media timeout, 7-6 Two wild misses by Trayce Jackson-Davis so far driving into a crowd in the lane. Maryland 3-for-8 from the field so far, Indiana 3-for-9. Al Durham has missed two three-pointers for Indiana. 

8:05 p.m. – Indiana in the usual home whites. Maryland in yellow. Trey Galloway with a nice drive to the hoop on the opening possession for the first two points of the game. 

7:45 p.m. – The usual recent starting lineup in the blocks for the Hoosiers. Trayce Jackson-Davis and Race Thompson up front, Trey Galloway, Armaan Franklin and Al Durham at the guard spots. 

7:40 p.m. ET – And speaking of surgery, as you already know, there is no Joey Brunk now for the Hoosiers. He had back surgery last week and is out indefinitely. Probably for the year, if I had to guess. Anyone with bad backs can relate.

7:35 p.m. ET – Maryland starters against Indiana are Eric Ayala, Aaron Wiggins, Hakim Hart, Donta Scott and Galin Smith. Hart replaced Darryl Morsell, who is out following surgery to fix a fractured bone in his face.
