Wisconsin-Indiana men's basketball delayed at Assembly Hall

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The Wisconsin-Indiana men's basketball game was delayed midway through the second half Tuesday night after a fire alarm sounded in Assembly Hall, prompting the evacuation of the stadium.

The buzzer sounded 25 seconds after John Blackwell made consecutive layups for Wisconsin, tying the game at 54 with 10:06 left.

Fans began returning to Assembly Hall after about 20 minutes, and play resumed after a five-minute warm-up.

It was later announced that the alarm sounded on the balcony and the university and stadium followed state law in evacuating the facility.

Indiana won, 74-70.
