- IU just 5-of-14 on layups
- No production whatsoever from Luke Goode and Myles Rice ... just can't happen
- Much better on the glass than 9 days ago
- Minimal shot-creation at the moment from Indiana
- Oregon getting too many clean looks from 3

Indiana basketball has its true identity — toughness. And now ‘everybody is all bought into what we want to do’ going into postseason play. #iubb

- IU needs to push the pace … can’t win this in 1/2 court
- 2/13 on 3s — IU is going to continue to have open looks
- IU -13 in bench points … need something out of Myles Rice if IU wins this game
- Goes without saying but a healthy Mgbako is critical
