HALFTIME

Well, as first halves of the first game of the season go, that was a pretty good one for the Hoosiers, who posted their highest scoring half of the Curt Miller era. And they did it with a balanced attack as eight players scored. Tabitha Gerardot, the grad student transfer from Valparaiso, and freshman Larryn Brooks shared high honors with 10 points apiece. Milika Taufa came off the bench to score eight, while Bloomington native Kaila Hulls had seven and Sasha Chapling six — the first six points of the game. Indiana shot 48.6 percent from the field, 4-of-12 from 3 and 8-of-12 on free throws. Oakland got off to a dreadful shooting start but rebounding to finish at 37.9 percent, 4-of-15 from 3 and 9-of-12 at the line.HOOSIERS 48, GRIZZLIES 35

 

11:35: Indiana has led by as many as 18 this half, but Oakland just sort of hanging around the last few minutes. Larryn Brooks continues to impress, up to 15 points, six rebounds and four assists now, the latest a dime to the cutting Kaila Hulls for a layup. HOOSIERS 59, GRIZZLIES 43

 

SECOND HALF

7:23: The lead is 19 as Indiana’s ability to score easy baskets has kept the margin a comfortable one. Simone Deloach a nice lift off the bench in the last few minutes with four points and five rebounds. HOOSIERS 65, GRIZZLIES 46

 

FINAL
