BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – After two big losses in the Bahamas, Indiana has bounced back with two straight16-point wins over Providence and and Sam Houston.

Indiana's Malik Reneau drives against Gonzaga during the Battle 4 Atlantis. / Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images In past seasons, Woodson had no choice but to play two bigs together, because of Indiana's roster limitations. Reneau and Ware were Indiana's best players last season, and Woodson needed them on the floor as much as possible. But Woodson upgraded Indiana's guard and wing play this season, and he's shown increased willingness to play small-ball lineups with more shooters, space and pace, which leads to a higher offensive ceiling for Indiana.

But the Hoosiers took their foot off the gas in the second half and gave up 46 points overall, 22 points in the paint, 12 fast-break points and 4-for-7 3-point shooting.
