Bellarmine opened against Vanderbilt and it did not go well (93-47). They did not have a single player reach double-digits in the contest. Vandy was +18 on the glass and the Knights turned it over 23 times. Now, I think Vanderbilt is quite good and Tyler Tanner is awesome plus Bellarmine might have just played really poorly but that's at least one piece of context for tonight's opponent. 

IU should deliver a strong performance. What I am looking for in this game: 

- IU's defense to look more consistent; they had stretches of greatness against EIU, and I would like them to be relentless all game today

- IU's shots to fall consistently today (55% from the field, 40% from three)

- Sherrell to have a dominant night 

- Another good night from Burton, but lower the foul count 

- Another game with 35+ bench points 

- If Bellarmine plays zone, as I expect, then I want IU to look comfortable in defeating that 

- The size and length of this roster to continue to look dominant

- The bench to clear for the final 4 minutes 

As of now, it is dead here. probably 30% full

Fanta and Greg McDermott on the call for NBC Sports Network. DeVries worked for McDermott and is close with him so this should hopefully be an insightful broadcast. 

The crowd stepped up a bit. I can now award them a 60% full 

Indiana breaks the zone and Darren Harris made a three on the first possession of the game 

Indiana struggled to get out of a trap on the baseline. Sherrell eventually got out of it, but something to watch for IU

Darren Harris is a clear part of the game plan. He has 3 shots already; this time, he was fouled on his three-point attempt

There is Harris' fourth three-pointer, this one no good. He has the green light in this offense 

Indiana with a clear emphasis on getting Darren Harris early looks. He hit his first one and got a pair of free throws. 

Sherrell, with his second block of the night, and it was wildly impressive play that led to an eventual shot clock violation

Then Yigitoglu got a dunk in the paint. IU's big men get going 

Darren Harris is fouled on his shot in the paint. He will shoot two after the break. 

7-4 IU 15:37

Nice screen inside by Harris sets up Yigitoglu for a dunk, IU leads 7-4 at the first MTO and Harris two more FT attempts after the break.
