Pos - Tayton Conerway has drawn five fouls. He's shot six free throws, has 12 points, and two assists. 31-21 Superbet.

And four steals.

Did Wilkerson get out of bed yet?

Still on a jet ski

Mega just went on an 8-0 run.  The Daily Hoosier says neither Wilkerson or DeVries have yet to score.

Conerway with 16; 9 of which have come from the line

Would be interesting to know what the lineups have looked like so far

Getting beat in every facet of the game.  Wilkerson and DeVries need to step it up in the 2nd half.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

I feel like this is preparing us as fans for what’s upcoming.  Maybe we can pull another miracle comeback?

Osterman - 

Mega has done an excellent job keeping Indiana's chief options, DeVries and Wilkerson, out of rhythm, and the Hoosiers can't figure out how to bring them back into the game. DeVries can't find any space to operate when he's on the ball. Wilkerson has only gotten one or two clean catches and clearly can't find the rhythm he needs to score effectively.  Unofficially up here on what passes for press row, we have Conerway with 18 points. But as a team IU only has four assists on nine made field goals. Mega is smothering defensively right now.

I can't imagine categorizing a 70-20 run as a miracle.

I feel like you only have negative takes, lol. I guess the last game was just a fluke. A little optimism is good for the soul

Really would like to know if coach DeVries makes changes / adjustments in the 2nd, and what our primary lineups have been in the 1st, and what they will be in the 2nd. Is part of the 20-point down due to lineups, and some continuing testing by staff in this exhibition game, or has it been the unit(s) that played most in the 2nd half of last week's game. 

Let's see what happens in the 2nd...

[Napleshoosier]

Wilkerson has 9 pts now. We down 13.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Wilkerson must have listened quite closely at halftime.  After going scoreless in the first half, he now has 9 second half points.  Mega leads 52-39.

I call it like I see it.  Last game was fun after big concerns. This game says all those concerns are valid.  
 

our BTB fanbase is happy with another rebuild and a bad year despite top 10 money.  
 

I’ve seen this song and dance a lot.  This season is critical for long term success. Hoping I can tuck my concerns away sometime soon, but I don’t think that’ll be happening in 25-26.
