Quick thoughts on an 89-75 loss to Arizona:<\/p>\n

How it happened<\/h2>\n

Indiana’s defense wasn’t up to the task early against Arizona at the MGM Grand Arena. The Wildcats were the quicker and more aggressive team, building a 27-8 lead by the 11:13 mark of the first half. The Hoosiers couldn’t buy a bucket from the perimeter and it looked like Arizona might win running away. But Race Thompson came to the rescue from the perimeter. Thompson, who entered the game 3-for-18 from distance, buried three 3-pointers and Indiana cut the lead to five at 36-31 with 3:47 remaining in the first half. The Wildcats closed the first half on a 5-0 run to lead by 10 at intermission. Arizona finished the first half at 1.2 points per possession.<\/p>\n

Indiana got within five at 47-42 early in the second half, but Arizona stretched the lead back to nine at the under-16 media timeout. The Hoosiers, however, had another answer. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Xavier Johnson and Tamar Bates brought Indiana within three at 59-56, forcing Tommy Lloyd to take a timeout at the 12:44 mark. That, however, was as close as Indiana would get. By the under-12 media timeout, the Wildcats were 10-for-22 from distance and led 72-60. After Arizona stretched the lead to 14, Indiana answered with an 8-0 run, forcing another timeout from Arizona with 6:02 to go. The Arizona lead was stretched back into double figures at 86-75 on a pair of free throws by Pelle Larsson and Indiana never challenged the Wildcats the rest of the way.<\/p>\n

standout performers<\/h2>\n

Indiana had five players finish in double figures. Thompson led the Hoosiers with 16 points, Miller Kopp added 14, Tamar Bates had 13 and Xavier Johnson and Trayce Jackson-Davis each had 11.<\/p>\n
