As redshirt sophomore guard Myles Rice turned to an official and called timeout, Indiana men’s basketball’s huddle reflected the somberness fit for a 19-point second-half deficit. Across the halfcourt line, Iowa’s huddle appeared rejuvenated, instilled with life by a noisy, two-thirds full crowd.

Indiana’s reserves brought the team back from a 23-13 deficit midway through the first half. The Hoosiers even took a brief lead after Bryson Tucker threw down a fastbreak dunk with 8:03 to go in the half that punctuated a 13-0 run.
