Five takeaways from IU basketball’s loss to Iowa
Key Points:
- Indiana basketball lost its third consecutive game, falling 74-57 to Iowa, continuing a troubling trend of being outscored in the second half for the third straight game, with fatigue cited as a possible factor by coach Darian DeVries.
- The Hoosiers' defense has declined significantly in Big Ten play, now allowing 1.147 points per possession, ranking 10th in the conference, and has given up over 1.24 points per possession in three of the last four games.
- Tucker DeVries, expected to be a top Big Ten forward, is struggling offensively, shooting just 25.5% on three-pointers in conference play and failing to reach double figures in four of five recent games
