Overview

  • Freshman Trent Sisley was fouled on an inbounds play with 0.3 seconds left and made the first of two free throws to secure the one-point win.
  • UCLA’s challenge on an out-of-bounds call with 1.5 seconds remaining in the second overtime was upheld on review, a ruling Mick Cronin later disputed.
  • Trent Perry tied the game with a 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds left in regulation as the Bruins erased a 10-point deficit in the final two minutes.
  • Indiana’s Nick Dorn hit six 3-pointers and scored a season-high 26, with Lamar Wilkerson and Reed Bailey adding 24 each; UCLA was led by Perry’s 25, Donovan Dent’s 24 points and 11 assists, and Tyler Bilodeau’s 18 points and 11 rebounds.
  • The result moved Indiana to 15-7 (6-5 Big Ten) with a third straight win and handed UCLA, now 15-7 (7-4), its first home loss this season after a 14-game run dating to last year, as Cronin blasted his team’s defense saying, “Defense was awful all night. We deserved to lose.”
