BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- If only the ghost of "Hoosiers" legend Jimmy Chitwood could rub off on Northwestern, which missed countless open looks in the first half at Indiana and trails 34-28.
The Wildcats shot just 11-for-28 (39.3 percent) against the Hoosiers, the Big Ten's worst defensive team. They missed 13 of 16 3-point tries, "led" by Michael "Juice" Thompson (1-for-6), Jeremy Nash (0-for-2) and a seemingly worn-down Drew Crawford (0-for-2).
Both Thompson and Nash fired airballs from 3-point land, thrilling the robust student section here.
John Shurna scored NU's first seven points and leads all with 12.
This would be a somewhat embarrassing loss for Northwestern, considering Indiana has lost 11 straight.
