THREE KEYS TO THE GAME

1. Closing time. Indiana took a 64-63 lead when Trey Galloway made a three with 1:58 left. But the Hoosiers wouldn’t score again as Oregon closed the game with a 10-0 run. The Ducks made a 30-foot late shot clock three to reclaim the lead, and IU missed their last three shots and had two turnovers in the final two minutes to give it away. Oregon made seven free throws in the final 1:05.

2. Second chances. Oregon was the better rebounding team on this night, and they took advantage of several second chances. Overall the Ducks held a 43-36 advantage on the glass, and they turned 15 offensive rebounds into 23 second chance points. That more than offset a solid defensive night by the Hoosiers, who held Oregon to just 39.3% from the field for the game.

3. Free throw disparity. Indiana took a season low seven attempts from the free throw line and made just three of them. Their previous low attempts was 12. Meanwhile Oregon made 19-of-21 from the stripe, giving them a 16 point advantage on free throws made. Indiana was called for just three more fouls and that difference came via late fouls out of necessity. But the disparity on free throws came on field goal attempts at the rim, as the Ducks drew whistles on offense and were able to play a physical style on the other end.
