Instant Rewind: Iowa 96, Indiana 90 OT
Once again, Indiana just couldn't quite get over the hump.
After leading late before falling at Minnesota in their last game, the Hoosiers jumped out by 13 in the first half at Iowa on Tuesday night, and stayed on top all the way until the final 2:10 of regulation. They eventually fell 96-90 in overtime.
Below is an instant rewind of the game in chronological order.

17:49 1H | Indiana 9, Iowa 0. Whoa. Hoosiers jump out to a quick nine-point lead behind 7 (!!) points for Newkirk in the opening 2:11. He's 3-for-3 from the field, making a mid-range jumpshot late in the shot clock and a three from the left wing in transition that at first looked like a heat check.
15:46 1H | Indiana 12, Iowa 2. Hawkeyes a dreadful 1-for-4 from the field with three turnovers in the opening minutes.
IU looks energized. Obviously the current pace isn't sustainable, but, Hoosiers playing hard and look good early.

11:58 2H | Indiana 46, Iowa 42. Hoosiers have already picked up nine fouls this period. Johnson, Davis, Blackmon and Morgan all already have three.
The second 20 minutes continues to be some poor play for both teams.
