FIRST HALF

Indiana starts with a 12-4 lead with 15:11 left in the half.

Hoosiers come out firing from beyond the arc. They’re already 10 shots deep from outside, with three makes. Some of them have been decent looks, some seemed maybe too far outside. Nevertheless, it’s working so far.
Interestingly enough, Conor Enright is picking up PJ Haggerty full-court for the Hoosiers. Kansas State is definitely emphasizing a fast pace on offense, so Enright matching up to Haggerty makes sense due to his quickness.

PREGAME NOTES

The betting line has continued to move in Indiana’s favor. IU is around a 10.5-point favorite on multiple sites. Personally, I thought if anything, it would’ve moved down.
The big name to watch for Kansas State is PJ Haggerty. He’s first in PPG in the nation while averaging 28. Look for a heavy workload from him.
No difference in starters for IU: Enright, Conerway, Wilkerson, DeVries, Bailey
There’s a pretty good energy in the crowd, even with students not here.
