Both teams got off to a slow start, with Indiana leading 10-8 halfway through the first half. They would stretch the lead to 30-25 at the half.
The Hoosiers would maintain a three to five-point lead through most of the first part of the second half until increasing the lead to eight points, 45-37, with 12:40 to play.

A Maldonado free throw kept the Pokes within six points, 60-54 with 1:34 to play, but again Indiana would hold off any Wyoming late-game heroics.
