Postgame Notes

The Hoosiers returned to Simon Skjodt Assmebly Hall on Thursday and beat the visiting No. 21/17Iowa Hawkeyes, 89-77. The win helped IU improve to 16-8 on the season and 6-7 in the Big Ten.
The win marks the fourth time this season out of five attempts that the Hoosiers have knocked off a ranked opponent at home.
Indiana hit five-straight 3-point attempts to begin the game, including four from senior guard Devonte Green to take a 25-16 lead, which forced an Iowa timeout with 12:15 remaining in the first half.
Indiana went on a 17-3 run to take a 31-16 lead on a senior forward De'Ron Davis free throw with 9:48 remaining in the first half.
Sophomore guard Rob Phinisee made his first two 3-point attempts to begin the second half to give IU a 60-40 lead at the 15:32 mark of the second half, which wound up being their largest lead of the game.
IU went 11-of-21 from behind the arch, which sets a new season high for 3-pointers made in a game and Green made seven of those attempts, which is one short of his career high. The last time IU hit double-digit 3-pointers in a game was against Ohio State in the 2019 Big Ten Tournament on March 14.
