Indiana's home game against Wisconsin was delayed in the second half Tuesday night when the fire alarm sounded at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind.

The Hoosiers and Badgers were tied at 54 with 10:06 left in the game when the alarm went off and the building was temporarily evacuated. It was unclear whether there was a fire in the building.

After a little more than 10 minutes, fans were allowed back in. Indiana basketball posted on its official X account that play would resume "after a brief warm-up period."

Indiana had lost four straight entering the game, while Wisconsin had won two of three after a four-game skid of its own.
