INDJANAPOLIS, Ind. – Indiana couldn't find a rhythm in the second half as it fell on the road, 56-46, at Hinkle Fieldhouse to the Butler Bulldogs on Wednesday night.

KEY MOMENTS

It was a tight first half, as neither team led by more than four in the opening quarter. Indiana (1-2) went 3-for-3 from the 3-point line the first quarter with triples from graduate student guards Moore-McNei and Sydney Parrish along with junior guard Julianna LaMendola all connected from beyond-the-arc.
Indiana was able to pull ahead in the second quarter by as many as six, forcing a Butler timeout with 4:26 on a second-chance opportunity by Parrish.
After getting outscored 15-9 in the third, the Hoosiers went looking for answers in the fourth. They didn't find them as Butler (3-0) outscored them by the same margin as the third to suffer the 10-point loss.

NOTABLE

Junior guard Shay Ciezki led the way with 11 points while junior guard Yarden Garzon pitched in 10. Ciezki also added four assists.
Parrish led IU with eight boards but the Hoosiers were outrebounded, 36-30.
Indiana shot just 34 percent from the floor and 35.5 percent from the 3-point line. They went a perfect 6-for-6 at the charity stripe, but didn't get to the line in the second half.
