Latest on Indiana Basketball:
Indiana is coming off of a stellar win against South Carolina this past Saturday. Previously, the team had started off with a slower start to their games, taking at times a whole half, to find a rhythm. However, this game was very different and the Hoosiers were hot right off the bat. Overall, the team proved to have more chemistry than before on both offense and defense.
Sophomore guard Myles Rice provided 23 points for the Hoosiers and had a great performance on both ends of the court. Senior center Oumar Ballo was also a huge asset for Indiana in this game adding 7 points and 13 rebounds.
If the Hoosiers can carry this chemistry with them the rest of the season, they will be a tough match up for any opponent. However, shooting remains something Indiana could improve on.
