EVANSTON, Ill. — Take a look at 20 photos from No. 14 Indiana basketball's 64-62 loss at Northwestern Wednesday night.

Yes, the Hoosiers will leave Evanston, Ill. with their first loss in four games, but Indiana's comeback was electrifying in the second half and full of good highlights and pictures.

Indiana was down by as much as 21 points in the first and finished the half with a 19-point deficit. Energy and efficiency started flying off the Hoosiers as junior forward Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 18 points in the second half for a total 23 points on the night.

Two other players finished in double-figure scoring including senior forward Race Thompson with 13 points and freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino with 13 of his own.

Up next, Indiana will return to Bloomington Saturday for another matchup versus Illinois before hitting the road for East Lansing to face Michigan State the following Tuesday.

Indiana will continue its road game stretch with a visit to an upset Purdue when the Hoosiers play the Boilermakers on Feb. 25. Finally, the Hoosiers will end their regular season comfortable in their Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall home, but probably not so comfy with Iowa and Michigan for the final two challenges before tournament play.

The Big Ten tournament will be held in Chicago, Ill. from March 8-12 as the Hoosiers sit third in the conference standings with a 9-7 conference record behind Purdue (12-3) and now Northwestern, who moved up with Wednesday night's win to a 10-5 record.
