Indiana was trailing Miami of Ohio early on, but the Hoosiers regained the lead with a 3 from Tamar Bates.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Indiana got off to a bit of a slow start on Sunday against Miami of Ohio, trailing 12-11 midway through the first half.

Indiana point guard Xavier Johnson took a dribble into the lane to collapse the defense before kicking it out to Tamar Bates on the left wing. Bates didn't hesitate to let it fly, knocking down a 3-pointer to give Indiana the lead.
