With a point spread in Vegas of 14, anyone that put money on this game had to have been sweating out those last few seconds.
Thought Iowa played extremely hard throughout the game, and that was a necessity in order to have a chance to win. As I mentioned earlier today, I thought rebounding, turnovers and free throw shooting would all be key factors, and they ended up being so. Iowa played well defensively for the majority of the game, but you can't give a team as good as Indiana any second chance points or any easy baskets off of turnovers. Iowa didn't get to the line as much as the Hawkeyes would have liked, but Iowa also struggled converting its free throws. Maybe that would have been the difference between that late run cutting it to 10, or Iowa having a legitimate chance to actually win the game at the end.
Marble started to find his rhythm in the second half, so hopefully for Iowa's sake, that continues for the rest of the season.
IU deserves a ton of credit for playing outstanding defense for the most part. While Zeller had a heck of a game, Indiana missed a ton of open threes that they typically make, yet played well enough defensively to maintain a cushion until things started clicking for them offensively.
