BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The Wisconsin–Indiana men’s basketball game was delayed midway through the second half Tuesday night after a fire alarm went off in Assembly Hall, prompting the arena to be evacuated.
The alarm sounded 25 seconds after John Blackwell made back-to-back layups for Wisconsin, tying the game at 54 with 10:06 remaining.
Fans began filing back into Assembly Hall after about 20 minutes, and play resumed after a five-minute warmup.
Later it was announced the alarm went off in the balcony, and the university and arena followed state law by evacuating the premises.
Indiana won, 74-70.
