Rejuvenated Hoosiers 81 Other 67

Galloway and Bates with the second and third highest minutes played behind TJD

Yeah he went in right after I posted.

3 point shooting 5-16. Ugh

Race with a double double 12 pts and 10 reb

TJD with 17 needs 13 more to reach the 1,000 mark. Team has hit 13-16 FT and only 4 TO. Galloway and Bates didn’t start but both played double digit minutes.

Glad we are playing so well with the number of recruiting targets in attendance.

Rough day at the office as Miro’s team falls to 1-4 on the Season. 16 pts. In 36 min on 4-15 FG, 1-3 on 3s, 5-7 FT, 8 reb, 6 asst, 2 stl, 4 TO, 1 Blk.

Eurohoops Scouting @EHoopsScouting 2023 Class 6'4 Miro Little @MiroLittle23 ) can fill the stat sheet in every category. The Finnish PG has astonishing athletic tools, above average vision and projects as a high-level two-way player at College level. One of the best prospects of his class

You forgot my Bingo cards.

Unlikely to happen tonight, but TJD needs 30 points to reach the elite 1,000 career points mark and become the 54th IU player to do so.

NCAA coming back at Oklahoma State and its attacks on the NCAA -- Comments by Oklahoma State personnel regarding its infractions case resulted in NCAA volunteer committee members and staff receiving threatening and offensive messages after being identified by name. This is unacceptable. Oklahoma State personnel encouraged individuals to circumvent the NCAA member-created process that every school agrees to participate in as part of their responsibility to each other. Further, there is a troubling trend of misstating facts about the infractions process by schools that disagree with the infractions outcomes. Each member has the ability to seek change to the Division I infractions process, and there is a review group underway looking at how to improve the process. This is also a clear example of the work that needs to be done to address issues and behaviors like this moving forward with the new NCAA Constitution and Division I Transformation process. We know that an adverse decision can be emotional, but personal attacks against individuals simply carrying out their responsibilities are inappropriate, unethical and potentially dangerous. John J. DeGioia, NCAA Board of Governors chair and president at Georgetown Jere Morehead, NCAA Division I Board of Directors chair and president at Georgia Mark Emmert, NCAA President

Haven't seen a lot of pre-game info on the IU site. We know the Huskies won their season opener 71-64 against Washington. https://indiana.rivals.com/news/know-your-opponent-northern-illinois-2 Live Stats Radio
