After a slow start on Saturday evening, Jalen Hood-Schifino came alive, finishing the game with 21 points (8-of-15) and five assists. In particular, the freshman’s play in high ball-screen action became a thorn in Michigan’s side. As he continued to ...
Thoughts on a 62-61 win against the Wolverines: No Race Thompson. The Hoosiers barely getting anything on offense outside of Jalen Hood-Schifino and Trayce Jackson-Davis. Turnovers on 18 percent of their possessions, while scoring just .93 points per trip. This ...
Miller Kopp had himself a game against the Scarlet Knights on Tuesday evening. The Northwestern transfer was his typical floor-spacing self, hitting 4-of-6 from deep on his way to 18 total points (6-of-9 shooting). Kopp also defended well. But it ...

On the backs of a hot hand from Jalen Hood-Schifino (6-of-7 from deep) and a 15-0 run to close it out, Indiana’s first-half offense helped the Hoosiers to a double-digit lead (16 points) at halftime. The Buckeyes never got closer ...
