Indiana’s defense again collapses and its offense has no fallback plan in the second half, as Northwestern outscores and outworks the Hoosiers 74-61 in the Big Ten tournament. Northwestern exploited IU’s defensive gaps, including success from depth and paint play, while IU’s shooters went cold and Arrinten Page’s absence left the frontcourt unable to capitalize, culminating in another quick exit in a season of disappointing tournament runs for Indiana.
