Just 2:37 into Indiana’s season opener against Eastern Michigan, all the questions were answered. Parker Stewart was making it rain 3-pointers, the defense was pitching a shutout, and a Trayce Jackson-Davis layup gave IU an 8-0 lead and forced a timeout by Eagles coach Stan Heath. Indiana fans were Googling Final Four tickets during the break. The delusions of grandeur continued into the second half, but eventually a certain reality unfolded over the final 14 minutes of the game. This Mike Woodson era of IU basketball is no overnight sensation. Stewart’s two 3-pointers in the first 119 seconds of the…
