Indiana men’s basketball opened its 2024-25 campaign with a comfortable 80-61 victory over SIU Edwardsville. This marked a stark contrast to the opening of last season, when it took Indiana five games to win by double digits.
There are definitely some kinks to work out, as you’d expect from a team with as many new pieces as Indiana, but this was a new-look Hoosier team. Even the returning players looked faster, more athletic, and more willing to push the pace.
If this team can come together quickly, look for more lopsided scores in the early goings here.
