The Good and The Bad: Austin Peay

Breaking down the good and the bad from a 102-76 win over Austin Peay at Assembly Hall.

The Good

1. Offense: Some days it's tough to make 15 straight buckets in the pregame lay up line but the Hoosiers lit up the Governors in the second half on Monday, making 15 consecutive field goal attempts at one point. The stretch turned a relatively comfortable Hoosier advantage into an absolute blowout. Indiana shot 80 percent for the second half. Every player who played shot at least 50 percent from the floor (save Tim Priller who missed his only field goal attempt but any time Priller takes the court in Bloomington it's a highlight so it's forgiven).

Fifty-one points in each half, hanging a hundred in just the second game of the season, 16 made 3-pointers - no one can accuse Tom Crean's team of lagging on offense in the early going.

2. Nick Ziesloft: At one point in the first half, the senior had a finger take a hard turn East while the rest of his fingers continued north. What looked like a gruesome dislocation of the pinkie on his shooting hand was apparently nothing and the sharpshooter wound up making five 3-pointers on his way to 15 points off the bench.

3. Yogi: Some call this a legacy-defining season for the senior point guard. Statistically, Ferrell ranks among the best Hoosiers of the past two decades. Monday, Ferrell passed Kirk Haston and Jimmy Rayl on Indiana's career scoring list to move into the top 20 all-time. But while he started on Indiana's Big Ten championship team as a freshman the past two season have been uneven at best - missing the NCAAs in 2014 and suffering a first-round exit a year ago.

Ferrell nearly had a triple double on Monday, scoring 22 to go with six rebounds and nine assists. He extended his streak of consecutive games with a 3-pointer to 67 straight. Continuing nights like Monday could go a long way in cementing Yogi as one of the most revered point guards in Hoosier history.

4. Injury free: IU escaped two early-season cupcakes with a full roster as the schedule begins to ramp up a bit in the coming week. With Creighton on Thursday and the trip to the EA Sports Maui Invitational looming, Indiana will have the full roster at its disposal (as you take the time to read this find the nearest piece of wood and politely knock).

BAD:

1. Defense: There's a lot of excuses you can make. The frenetic tempo Indiana plays with leads to more opponent possessions. Sloppy early-season ball handling was converted into easy buckets. But Indiana gave up 39 points in the first half to a team that scored 41 in the game against Vanderbilt on Friday. Indiana can't keep letting teams shoot at will. It will cost them a win - remember Eastern Washington.

2. Turnovers: Indiana's desire to turn every first-half possession into a Youtube moment led to one of the most ragged, disoriented 20 minutes you'll see outside of your favorite rec league game.

Again, the schedule is ramping up and 10 turnovers per half of play won't fly.
