A very high scoring 1st half saw Indiana leading 51-48. Things definitely slowed down in the 2nd half. The Owls start to edge ahead due to their expert 3 pt shooting and rebounding. They lead 77-67 with 2:23 left. However, the Hoosiers don't give up. Indiana goes on an 11-4 run to make it 81-78 with :17 left. The Owls get a great defensive play to win the ball back, but Indiana's full court press immediately gets it back. They heave a 3 pointer at the buzzer, but it misses. KSU survives after almost giving the game away.
