10:59 p.m. — A really nice run there by Indiana, scoring on three straight possessions to get back ahead 80-76. Baskets by Trey Galloway, Miller Kopp and Tamar Bates, with a couple of nice passes from Trayce Jackson-Davis.

10:52 p.m. — We're at the under-8 timeout now and Iowa leads 75-72. Indiana's defense way too soft. Iowa is shooting 63.6 percent from the field in the second half. Kris Murray with 14 second-half points. 

10:38 p.m. — And now Iowa has taken the lead. Jordan Geronimo, for some reason, leaves Kris Murray to help and Murray nails a three. Geronimo misses on the other end and then Iowa center Filip Rebraca scores and is fouled. Iowa leads 63-61, 

10:32 p.m. — Down to a four-point game now at 57-53. Two straight missed threes for Indiana from Tamar Bates and Miller Kopp. Those guys need to deliver. Mike Woodson calls timeout at the 13:59 mark. 

10:26 p.m. — Trayce Jackson-Davis gets fouled by Kris Murray, that's his third, and he makes both free throws. He's playing through the pain. Indiana leads 57-46, 

10:21 p.m. — Clif Marshall is working a lot with Trayce Jackson-Davis, trying to get him stretched out after the half. Saw some wincing. Let's see how long he can go here. Very concerning. 

10:17 p.m. — Miller Kopp took only one shot in the first half and Tamar Bates only took two. Indiana is going to need more out of them offensively with Race Thompson out. A lot falls on Malik Reneau now, too. Will we see Logan Duncomb?

HALFTIME: Stats of note. Trayce Jackson-Davis leads the Hoosiers with 14 points. Jalen Hood-Schifino has 11 with three three-pointers and Race Thompson had nine points before leaving with a knee injury. Indiana shot 65.5 percent from the floor (19-for-29). 

10:05 p.m. — Indiana ends the half on a high note, getting a three-point play from Trayce Jackson-Davis and a follow-up from Jordan Geronimo to stretch the lead back to 10. Halftime and it's 50-40. A fifty-burger for the Hoosiers is a nice sign. Liked the 21-point lead better than 10 though.  

10:02 p.m. — Jordan Geronimo seems lost out on the floor. Picks up a technical and gets burned on the defensive end, then makes a bad pass. It's down to a five-point lead now at 45-40. 

9:49 p.m. — There's a battle for a loose ball and Race Thompson goes down awkwardly. He knee bent funny. He had to be helped off the court and went straight to the locker room with the help of two teammates.

9:16 p.m. — Jalen Hood-Schifino hits back-to-back threes and the Hoosiers are suddenly up 11-4. It's a great sign for a team that's had a lot of slow starts late and hasn't played a game in 13 days.

9:11 p.m. — Indiana goes inside to Trayce Jackson-Davis on their first possession and he scores and was fouled. Race Thompson scores inside as well, and it's 5-2 Hoosiers out of the gate.
