Xavier Johnson went down really hard on that foul. Not good for IU #iubb @WHAS11
#Indiana 64, Iowa 62 Back and forth we go. Goaltending from Ware after an oop attempt gone bad by IU makes it a 1 basket game. 3:41 left in a nail-biter in Bloomington #iubb @WHAS11
#Indiana 59, Iowa 58 Hoosiers and Hawkeyes trade blows but IU takes back the lead thanks to a MONSTERRR poster and-1 for Kel’el Ware and a three for the Hoosiers 5:43 to go #iubb @WHAS11
Career-high 11 points for beloved IU senior Anthony Leal. Just hit his third 3-pointer for a 59-58 IU lead.
Three bad-pass turnovers in 46 seconds for Galloway. Iowa, once down 17 late in the first half, has its first lead since the opening minute, 54-53. Still 7:56 left. https://t.co/HJhRPgj8ck
TIMEOUT: #Indiana 53, Iowa 54 Turnovers, rebounding, and multiple and-ones cost the Hoosier the lead. We got a ball game in Bloomington. #iubb @WHAS11
#Indiana 44, Iowa 40 Hawkeyes Payton Sandfort is red hot. He’s got more than half Iowa’s points with 22. Hawkeyes at the stripe to make it a one bucket game #iubb @WHAS11
HALFTIME: #Indiana 39, Iowa 28 Some of the best offense form the Hoosiers this season so far. Shooting 59.3% form the field with a half to go #iubb @WHAS11
#Indiana 30, Iowa 15 Hoosiers are DIALED IN from three point range. Within just over 3 minutes they’ve doubled it up on the Hawkeyes thanks to 50% on 5-10 from beyond the arc. IU rolling with 8:03 to go in the 1st #iubb @WHAS11
TIMEOUT; #Indiana 19, Iowa 15 Hoosier slow down a bit offensively and let the Hawkeyes back in it. Still no sign of Reneau, 11:28 to go when we get back #iubb @whas11
FIRST TIMEOUT: #Indiana 13, Iowa 7 Mackenzie Mgbako drills back to back threes early to get things started for IU. Malik Reneau still in the locker room after a fall. Trey Galloway and Xavier Johnson go from a steal and score to a forced turnover before the break @WHAS11

😴5 Omaha Sleepers😴 @IndianaBase Indiana last year won 43 games—the fifth-highest total in program history—and earned a spot in the tournament. This year’s lineup will feature a core of returners as well as at least one key newcomer. Four of its five leading hitters from… https://t.co/Xp8lRR5U58
Iowa MBB favored by 1.5 tonight at Indiana (6pm, BTN).
Indiana State is not a team anyone's gonna want to play early in the NCAA Tournament. Too fast, skilled, disciplined, smart. Taking it to Bradley in second half. Leading 74-67 with 5:33 left. #Kaizen which is not the same as #columncoming though to be honest #noidea
Bradley has finally started missing, and Indiana State is doing what it does -- raining down threes. Sycamores up 74-67 with 5:31 left.
Bradley has started the second half on a 13-for-14 FG run, with Duke Deen scoring 19 points in the first nine minutes. Bloomington's Connor Hickman has eight this half. Indiana State within 63-61, 10:25 left. Ryan Conwell has two 4-point plays. What a game.
Final: No. 10 Illinois 70, Indiana 62. The Hoosiers did not make a single 3-pointer in the game. Indiana falls to 12-8 overall and 4-5 in the Big Ten.
