Postgame:
IU was unable to pull out a back and forth game and lost 76-71 to Mizzou for their first defeat of the season. Mizzou built a 14 point first half lead but IU rallied to take a nine point lead with 13:02 left in the second half. The Tigers than had a run themselves and pulled ahead for good on a Shakara Jones jumper with under a minute left.
In the loss the Hoosiers did get the best game of the year so far from senior Jamie Braun who had 20 points. However, what made have done the Hoosiers in was the fact that they were destroyed by a count of 47-34 on the boards.

Pregame:
IU will put its perfect 3-0 record on the line when it tips off against the Missouri Tigers in about 1o minutes. The Hall crowd is unsurprisingly sparse given the many local events going on (IU Soccer and Colts game among other things).
The Hoosiers are coming off of a 64-57 win against Cincinnati last Wednesday and will look to go to 4-0 now.
Stay tuned for further updates.
