At 2:37 p.m. March 10, Mike Woodson toted a black toiletry bag through the southeast tunnel of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, just under two hours away from tipoff against Michigan State.

At 6:37 p.m., Woodson stood in front of Indiana’s bench, feet planted on the court, urging his team towards one more defensive stand. The Hoosiers, leading 65-64, were 14 seconds away from victory.
