I am opening this early as I have to take my kid to swim lessons at 6pm and don't want to forget.
It's a brand new season and while we have seen a lot of these Hoosiers already, the games count for real now. Check out the Candy Stripe Scoop for a preview of tonight's and this week's games.

Thank you for reading Hoosier Huddle
I hope we at least have some resemblance of a crowd tonight.
Anybody got a non-BTN+ link to watch?
I am on location for the game. If you don't have BIG+ you are in the right spot for updates. You also can listen to Fisch as always
@dbmhoosier I hope so too! I will let you know what that looks like later
Nothing new for IU's starters in this game
Non-balcony students have arrived, but the rest of the crowd is still pretty light. Probably about half full for the rest of the crowd. Appears that Indiana will need to string together some wins and hype to bring some of this fanbase alive
Probably up to 80% of the lower bowl is full now. For a Monday game, I will gladly take it
2 fouls by EIU on the first possession
Mustaf makes them pay with 2 made FT's
Burton hits his first shot from behind the arc
5-2
Aiden Sherrell with an offensive rebound, misses the put back, then Samet Yigitoglu cleans it up. This is what the new IU is!
Yigitoglu has 6 points, 2 boards, 2 blocks after just 5:30 of play! He is having a game so far!
IU up 11-5 with 14:29
A great opening segment for Samet Yigitoglu. He has multiple rebounds, six points and a couple of blocks. IU leads 11-5 at the first MTO.
Offensive rebound from Alexis, kick out to Burton for a triple! Exactly what you want to see
Indiana goes to the bench for everyone but Burton: Sisley, Alexis, Lindsay, Manhertz
