14-6 Mega    No idea how much time left in the quarter.

14-8.

Combination of Osterman, Andershock, Schumann, Rabby, and ITH Twitter accounts is the best we’ll get.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Miles in for 3 seconds.  Got beat and allowed an and one.  Sisley replaced him immediately.

They want Jasai Miles to be able to play but he got yanked immediately for crap defensive awareness.

[Parakeet Jones]

Down 13 six minutes in. We are 1-6 from 3.

I fought all off season stating the obvious as I have with previous rosters over the years.  DeVries created this roster, he’s gonna have to figure out a way to make it work now.  Glad they get to see the deficiencies early and can try to figure things out in time to make the best of a not so great set of size and talent.  

[Parakeet Jones]

We have been called for 8 fouls to their 4. Clearly they are using B18 officials down in PR.

Osterman - 

Indiana doesn't have the size to contend with Mega at a couple key spots, and it's showing.  We don't have live stats but Reed Bailey has at least one foul, which is obviously part of the problem. At the other end, good looks aren't going down, so Mega's getting some breathing room. DeVries was pretty vocal in the timeout huddle. Clear he expects more than this.

Or we’re undersized and fouling in the paint as a result.

The style complete 180 is going to take some getting used to; when you’re undersized and play five out three-point shots will need to go in.

Wilkerson Bailey and Emright each with two fouls

31-16 after one quarter

Correction.  It was not the end of the 1st Q but now it is and it's 31-16.     More from Osterman -  The Hoosiers couldn't get shots to fall with much consistency, leading to easy runouts and outnumbered transition situations. Mega leaned into its size advantage, with bigs that can move and stretch the floor, and it created foul problems.  And without wanting to oversimplify the analysis, 31 points in 10 minutes will never not be problematic. There's also an element of Indiana looking flustered with some elements of the international setting, namely the officiating and the 3-point line. But they have to adjust. Stemmed the bleeding just a bit in the last moments of the first quarter. Need to build on that.

[IU5355]

Osterman mentions the international 3 point line. Anyone know the difference?

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

1-8 from 3 in the 1st Q.  Enright picked up his 3rd foul
