Indiana played host to Division III Hope College on Tuesday night in the first of two exhibitions before the Hoosiers head to Hawaii to take on Kansas in the Armed Forces Classic.
For the first time since March 4, 2012, Indiana took the court at Assembly Hall without Yogi Ferrell in the lineup. It showed, especially early on.
Less than five minutes in, the Hoosiers found themselves trailing 14-7. Indiana often decided on forgoing the easy pass in favor of the spectacular play, committing 11 turnovers in the first half.
“We had to eliminate unforced turnovers and really take care of the ball,” said Juwan Morgan.
