Head coach Teri Moren’s No. 2 seeded Hoosiers appeared primed to continue their winning ways as they took a 34-26 lead into halftime against Michigan State. They might have come out of the halftime locker rooms a bit too confident in that outcome. The Spartans jumped on the Hoosiers out of the break, quickly…

As it turned out, Indiana coach Archie Miller likely would have preferred one more game without the fans. The crowd was tiny at Lucas Oil Stadium, but the partisan 8,000 had a clear message as it became apparent that Indiana’s disappointing 2020-21 season was coming to an end. “Fire Archie!” they chanted.
