After winning seven consecutive games following a blowout loss at Duke University, the IU men's basketball team was dealt its third road loss of the season Sunday night.
The Hoosiers fell by 11 points against the then-No. 2 ranked Michigan Wolverines, a game in which IU never led. Injuries, foul trouble and a slow start to the game doomed IU from the opening tipoff, but a resurgent second-half performance gave the Hoosiers some momentum despite the loss.
With 16 more conference games left to close out the season, Indiana Daily Student basketball writers Cameron Drummond and Ben Portnoy, along with special guest and former IDS staffer Andrew Hussey from Michigan's Rivals' website, The Wolverine, dissect what happened during Sunday's game and what it means for both IU and Michigan going forward.
