Indiana Basketball🏀 Weekly W/Steve Risley: Indiana vs Maryland Recap

#indianahoosiers #bigten #basketball Join Mike Goodpaster and former Hoosier Steve Risley as they recap a huge win for the Hoosiers! https://thegruelingtruth.com/sportsbook/ Our line came from fanduel https://thegruelingtruth.com/yt/fanduel/sport/ IU finally arrested a five-game losing streak Thursday, with a must-have 74-64 win against Maryland. Here are three reasons why the Hoosiers (17-10, 8-9) got back in the win column when they absolutely needed to: Thursday’s first half wound up defined by fouls, as both Xavier Johnson and Trayce Jackson-Davis picked up two quick ones. Mike Woodson, strict all season on two-foul participation, stayed true to form against the Terrapins, benching both for the rest of the half. Coupled to injury issues — all of Indiana’s auxiliary options at point guard were out injured — that left Woodson with some unusual lineups. Tamar Bates saw time at point. So did Parker Stewart. So did Anthony Leal. Race Thompson played more minutes. Jordan Geronimo scored one of the strangest baskets you’ll ever see, spiking the ball off the floor on a rebound attempt only to watch it spin back down through the net for two points. Through it all, the Hoosiers built a 10-point lead with stifling defense and timely 3-point shooting. Then they let it slip away, as those timely shots stopped falling. They led, deservedly, at the intermission, 30-27, which could have been more but still represented the small victory of surviving without their two most influential players for the meat of the half.
