Listen Later

Indiana survived a chaotic double overtime thriller at Pauley Pavilion, defeating UCLA 98-97 after blowing a 10-point lead in the final 1:34 of regulation and battling through two overtime periods without a true point guard.

Trent Sisley's made free throw with 0.6 seconds left sealed Indiana's third straight victory, moving the Hoosiers to 15-7 overall and 6-5 in Big Ten play with a crucial second quad-one win for their NCAA tournament resume.

Jerod Morris, Coach Brian Tonsoni, and Andy Bottoms (with special guests Scott Caulfield and Ryan Phillips calling in from Los Angeles) break down the gutsy road victory:

  • How Nick Dorn's 21-point explosion in the second half transformed a six-point halftime deficit into a commanding lead, continuing his breakout stretch as Indiana's third legitimate scoring threat
  • Reed Bailey's career performance with 24 points on 12-of-13 free throw shooting in just 28 minutes, showcasing the inside scoring dimension this roster has been missing all season
  • The coaching brilliance and controversy—Darian DeVries's defensive adjustments that held UCLA to under 40% shooting versus the decision not to foul up three at the end of regulation
  • Lamar Wilkerson's redemption arc after nearly losing the game with critical turnovers late in regulation, then taking over both overtimes by repeatedly attacking the rim when Indiana had no point guard to initiate offense
  • Why Tucker DeVries's nine points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists might have been his most important performance as a Hoosier despite the modest scoring numbers
  • The mental toughness this team showed bouncing back from a devastating collapse—what this win reveals about the culture DeVries is building and why it feels so different from recent Indiana teams
  • Sam Alexis and Trent Sisley stepping up in critical moments as role players, making free throws and grabbing rebounds when starters fouled out


Plus, as always: the big moments you might have missed, stats that stood out, and our game ball and hustle award.
