Indiana's season came to a close Tuesday night with a 73-63 loss to the Wichita State Shockers.
The 3-point shooting of the Shockers was the difference as they made 11 3-pointers and were led by Markis McDuffie who finished with a game high 21 points. For the Hoosiers, Juwan Morgan also had 21 in a losing effort.
The Hoosiers finished the season at 19-16 in what was a bizarre season that still nearly ended up with a NCAA Tournament berth. Listen to what Archie Miller and some players had to say postgame along with our three takeaways.
