The Hoosiers lead 14-12 as Enright bangs in a three in the corner. Oregon has a lot of length and they are playing a zone that is going to make getting anything near the rim a bit difficult (unless IU gets out in transition). The downside for the Ducks is that if IU can get into the middle, they will have kick outs for wide open threes. If the Hoosiers can get in rhythm from the perimeter, they can put up some points tonight.
IU is not shooting well at all but that was a fantastic defensive possession. Good rotations, active hands and feet...shot clock violation forced.
#iubb is 1 of their last 8 from the field as Oregon has opened up a 19-14 lead
Indiana is just 2-12 (17%) from behind the arc to start this game. Have to get the three-point shot going.
Oregon takes a time out with 6:50 left in the half. Lamar Wilkerson hit a three to end a 1-8 stretch for IU. Ducks lead 19-17
we do not have a smart or disciplined basketball team
Lamar Wilkerson finally gets one to fall and Oregon takes a timeout with the Hoosiers trailing 19-17. Indiana is 3-13 from three and they already have 5 turnovers. Fortunate to only be down by two.
Wilkerson is starting to heat up. A nice cut for a layup and splashes a 3. IU up 26-22
Wilkerson has hit his last four shots and IU is four of their last five from the field. We hit the Under 4 MTO with #iubb leading 32-28.
This game has been a slog, but both teams now shooting over 40% from the field.
Lamar Wilkerson is so much fun to watch...he's up to 12 points after starting 0-5. IU is still struggling from deep (4-16) and Nick Dorn can't buy a bucket but the Hoosiers lead 32-28 and Oregon is now facing some foul trouble. This is an important final 2:17 of the first half.
Just want to let everyone know. BAILEY SUCKS
IU leads 36-30 at the half despite shooting just 4-16 from three. Lamar Wilkerson started 0-5 but is now 5-10 and leads the way with 16 points. Sam Alexis is 4-4 with 8 points and 4 rebounds. Oregon has 13 bench points to IU's goose egg.
I refer to IU's roster as "Wilkerson and others."
