5 (only text, no photo): No. 6 Indiana women’s basketball dominated Northwestern 72-50 Sunday afternoon in Evanston, Illinois. The Hoosiers had their worst shooting performance of the season, but stifling defense, aggressive rebounding and proficient free throw shooting helped overcome poor shooting.

“Road wins are never easy,” Indiana head coach Teri Moren said after the game. “We did not shoot the ball well from beyond the arc, which is uncharacteristic of our team. We still made enough plays and found ways to win.” Read More.

6 (featured photo): Indiana men’s basketball couldn’t hold on to the ball.  

That was the difference in No. 15 Indiana’s 84-83 loss to Northwestern on Sunday: 16 turnovers leading to 25 Northwestern points. The Wildcats used the extra possessions to jump on Indiana early, taking a 17-point lead in the first half that remained in double-digits nearly the entire game until the last two minutes.
