Bellarmine has found a bit of a groove offensively, and DeVries calls a timeout to talk about it
30-17 IU 5:23
Trevor Manhertz and Aiden Sherrell are playing well but Darian DeVries calls timeout after his team gave up an offensive rebound. Bellarmine is +3 on the boards right now.
Darren Harris misses a three, but makes up for it with a hustle play and-one on a rebound
Right after the timeout, putback bucket for Alexis and then two offensive rebounds and a putback for Darren Harris as he got fouled. Good response.
This game was built for Darren Harris and Bryce Lindsay. Bellarmine sucks at guarding the perimeter.
IU is getting three-pointers up seemingly every possession
7-for-16 from behind the arc
40-22 at the final MTO of the first half. Harris has looked very confident and has 15 points to lead the way. I continue to be impressed by Bryce Lindsay and Trevor Manhertz has looked good as well.
@tjinman1987 I liked that Manherz 3. He looked confident. Team is playing well tonight. Glad Coach got on them for a defensive lapse.
While I regarded God as a tyrant I thought my sin a trifle; But when I knew Him to be my Father, then I mourned that I could ever have kicked against Him. When I thought God was hard, I found it easy to sin; but when I found God so kind, so good, so overflowing with compassion, I smote upon my breast to think that I could ever have rebelled against One who loved me so, and sought my good.” C.

Lindsay with a drive to the basket that ends in an and-one
He makes the free throw, and IU leads 45-24 with 2:03
Lindsay might enter the flow state here to end this half
I'm enjoying Coach McDermott doing the game. He was a good coach

Bryce Lindsay is a DUDE. He's going to occasionally take some shots that you don't love but he's a really dangerous offensive talent.
Burton, with his first points of the game, comes from thefree-throw line as he makes both
IU scores 50 points in the first half and Markus Burton took two shots and has just two points. That's impressive. Harris with 15, Lindsay with 13. IU leads 50-26 at the half.
Indiana leads on the glass 17-12 and IU is +21 from three.
50-26 IU at the half
HALFTIME THOUGHTS:
- Harris and Lindsay are both shooting it so confidently and it is fun to watch
- IU has had great hustle plays
- The IU length has irritated Ballarmine's offense
- Sherrell is just a physical specimen
- Manhertz has strung together some really strong minutes, and in general, this IU bench could be something special
Harris hit a three pointer immediately in the second half, which set a new career high
