A lot on the line in Indiana’s regular season finale. #iums battles Rutgers in a game with Big Ten and NCAA tournament implications on @BigTenPlus at 8. I’ll have the call with @NickRodecap.

.@WIUXSPORTS is sending @andrew_hillsman and Nick Rodecap (splitting PxP duties) for Indiana-Marquette at the United Center in Chicago. Tip is set for 1 p.m. ET on https://t.co/ekgQ7HIKto. #iubb

Wednesday night vs. Alabama A&M was the first regular season game since March 5, 2022 (@ Purdue) that Indiana basketball was perfect at the FT line (min. 10 attempts). It was 13/13 vs. Nebraska in the 2024 B1G Tourney as well... the less said about that game, the better. #iubb

Sam Alexis was hampered by injury last season at Florida. Now wearing the cream and crimson, he got his first taste of Assembly Hall and made the most of it, positively impacting the game in multiple ways. #iubb for @insidethehall:

Darian DeVries on Assembly Hall: "It's just one of these special places. There's not much like it in college basketball. It was a special night, and hopefully the first of many." #iubb

Darian DeVries on Indiana's shot selection, which was mainly in the paint or from 3-PT range: "I thought the guys did a good job of taking what the defense gave them." Says he doesn't necessarily emphasize avoiding midrange shots, but that's how the game unfolded. #iubb

Darian DeVries on Lamar Wilkerson: "He's one of those guys that you've just gotta kick out of the gym because he's in there so much. #iubb

Darian DeVries on Indiana's shooting: "We have a really confident group. They're very sure of themselves and they have the green light. On game night, let it rip; that's out philosophy." #iubb

Darian DeVries on Indiana's ball movement: "For a group that hasn't been together very long, they play really well off of each other." #iubb

Final: Indiana 98, Alabama A&M 49. The DeVries era is off to a good start. Reed Bailey had 21 points while Tucker DeVries scored his 2000th point and had a double-double. Hoosiers shot 62% the floor, 42% from 3-PT and 100% (16-16) at the line. Marquette on Sunday. #iubb

Tucker DeVries is recognized for passing the 2000 point mark in his Indiana debut. #iubb

Final media timeout: Indiana 96, Alabama A&M 45. 2:51 until the final horn. Reed Bailey leads all scorers with 21 points. Tucker DeVries has 18/11 and Indiana has 23 assists on 36 baskets. A&M is shooting 33% as a team. #iubb

Walk-on Ian Stephens checks in with 4:28 left. Indiana leads 93-45. I'm excited to see how Indiana stacks up against Marquette this Sunday. #iubb

Under-8: Indiana 84, Alabama A&M 41. Indiana has dunked 8 times tonight. I don't know that the Hoosiers will steal the "Dunk City" moniker from FGCU, but it's fun to watch. #iubb

North Florida transfer Jasai Miles' first Indiana points come courtesy of a 1-handed poster. Not a bad introduction. #iubb

Under-12: Indiana 76, Alabama A&M 36. Hoosiers are 8-11 from the floor so far in the second half. Wilkerson (19), Bailey (17), Alexis (17), and DeVries all in double figures. DeVries is 1 rebound shy of a double-double. Team still shooting 64/42/100. #iubb

Indiana's shot chart. Welcome to the 21st century... no midrange here! #iubb

Timeout w/ 16:22 left: Indiana 65, Alabama A&M 25. Conerway passes to Bailey off the backboard and Bailey slams it with 2 hands to push Indiana's lead to 40. Crowd responds according. Hoosiers up to 15 assists on 22 made FG. This team is fun. #iubb

I'm also a fan of Sugar We're Goin' Down being in the rotation. It's like I never left middle school! #iubb

I've always wanted to do this... Joker and the Thief playing on the Assembly Hall speakers. Indiana moving left to right in your mind's eye as we start the second half. #iubb
