It was another marquee matchup, and IU fell flat on its face for the second straight game.
at the hands of defending champion No. 6 Kansas. The Jayhawks outplayed, outshot, outhustled and outworked the 16th-ranked Hoosiers, sending IU sputtering into its last two nonconference games before Big Ten play continues in January.Kansas went all-out to force anyone but Trayce Jackson-Davis to beat it. No other Hoosier could.
It forced IU to abandon its inside-out game and score from the perimeter. The Hoosiers backcourt couldn’t handle the increased responsibility, especiallywith a foot injury in the first half and didn’t return. Jalen Hood-Schifino returned after missing the past three games with a back issue and played 30 minutes.
KU's guards took away space from Indiana wings and forced them into difficult passes to the high post. Gradey Dick had a pair of uncontested dunks on the fast break in the first half. Early in the second half, Kopp drove along the baseline and left his feet with no clear plan once he was in the air. The Jayhawks jumped into passing lanes around the perimeter, leading to run-outs off of sloppy attempts to swing the ball and get anything going offensively.Kansas got to the rim with ease.
