Photo Gallery: Best Pictures From Indiana's Win Over Morehead State on Tuesday
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana didn't play well for most of the night on Tuesday against Morehead State, but a late 20-4 rally helped them pull out a 69-68 victory.
"First of all, you've got to tip your hat to Morehead because they played a great game,'' Indiana coach Mike Woodson said. "I've been preaching all year, you can be beaten by any team. Doesn't matter who they are, if you don't come to play. I thought at the start of the game we were flat, and like we didn't even want to be out there. But finally we picked it up when our backs were against the wall, and we made plays coming down the stretch that we had to make in order to win the game.
"We've just got to keep working. We've got to get better in a lot of areas. Free throws, three-point shooting. We're taking enough threes, we're not just making them.''
Indiana is 8-3 on the season now. The Hoosiers are back in action Thursday night against North Alabama at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
