We have on site coverage of IUBB tonight. It should be a good peek at this team.
Thank you for reading Hoosier Huddle
Indiana rolls with the same starters they utilized against Butler (Yigitoglu, Sherrell, Burton, Mustaf, Harris).
IU vs. UNC will tip off here in 5 minutes. The stadium is at about 1/8 capacity, with 25% of those fans being UNC fans.
Should be a good test for how strong this IU team actually is
Michael Malone being UNC's head coach is something that fascinates me, so I am very intrigued to watch his squad as well as this IU team that excites me a lot
Keita with an and-1 to start the scoring for UNC. Foul by Yigitoglu
3-0 UNC
Foul by Burton, and it sent him to the bench. Lindsay checked in early, only just over a minute of play
Yigi playing Yucky so far!
Yigitoglu with a block, then Mustaf gets to the line and drains both
6-6
This is a very physical game, especially for an exhibition. Gives IU a taste of what these bigger games will be like
The under-16 is here.
IU has a bit of turnover issues early. Not abnormal, but something to monitor.
The game is very physical. IU has yet to hit a jumper.
8-8 with 15:22 to play
8-8 at the first MTO. Burton got yanked less than a minute into the game for Bryce Lindsay and the Villanova transfer scored IU's first 4 points.
IU gave up an and-one off of transition offense. Indiana's transition defense has been shaky so far
Darren Harris for 3! First IU jump shot of the game
Darren Harris with back-to-back threes!!
Sisley, Mustaf, and Yigitoglu all check in
Bryce Lindsay from Lamar Wilkerson range! Hits a deep three to force a North Carolina timeout.
17-12 IU with 12:48 remaining
