Adapt, adjust and move on. That’s the NCAA tournament.
In Saturday’s NCAA tournament opener at Assembly Hall, Indiana found itself in potential danger after the first two quarters. The Hoosiers held a four-point lead – 38-34 – against Fairfield after the first 20 minutes.
But the possible scare of a close game late in the game quickly faded away.
The Hoosiers found their footing in the third quarter and cruised to an 89-56 win in front of 12,753 fans.
Indiana discussed the fast-paced nature of Fairfield’s offense heading into this game and the first half proved why it had the Hoosiers’ attention.
