In a tight battle, with the teams knotted at 54 with just about 10 minutes to go, everyone at Indiana’s Assembly Hall was abruptly forced to evacuate the building. With around 10:06 to go, the fire alarm on the balcony of the venue went off. “It was determined a fire alarm went off in the balcony,” the university said. In fact, the fire alarms went off right after John Blackwell of Wisconsin hit back-to-back layups to tie the game – that was the first time the Badgers weren’t trailing in the game since it was 0-0. Even after play resumed, Wisconsin owned a three-point lead with 5:54 to go, but the Hoosiers ended the game on a 14-7 run to come away with a 74-70 victory – Wisconsin missed their final six shots of the game.
