The Indiana basketball team lost 91-79 to Wisconsin at the Kohl Center in Madison, and players were getting frustrated.

With 12:42 left to go in the second half and the Hoosiers down 61-44, IU's CJ Gunn was ejected for elbowing Wisconsin guard Max Klesmit in the face with his right elbow. During the broadcast, announcer Robbie Hummel commented on the flagrant foul by Gunn.

"I'm not sure why he would do that," Hummel said.

Insider: When it matters, this IU team shrinks from the moment.

'Disconnected' mess: 19 games into season, IU doesn't know what it is.

"After looking at it, the kid (Klesmit) put his head on his chest," Mike Woodson said after the game. "He threw a semi-elbow, I don't think it was something hard that warranted being kicked out of the game."

Don Fischer, the voice of the Hoosiers, was not happy with IU's play during the game.

"I have never said this before in my 51 years behind the microphone at Indiana University," Fischer said, “but I am embarrassed for this ball club; and not because of the score."
