HEAD COACH ERWIN VAN BENNEKOM
"Honestly we are all very disappointed with the performance today. I felt we never got close to our level from the last few weeks, especially in ball possession. Because we lost the ball so much it became too much of transition game. What we have done well recently did not show today. On the flip side I'm very happy with our defensive organization and the way we transitioned after losing the ball."

UP NEXT
The Hoosiers return to action on Sunday at No. 22 Rutgers. Kick off in Piscataway, N.J. is set for 1p.
