Final Score: IU 99 Chattanooga 79
---
3:17 Remaining in the 2nd Half IU leads 96-75. Eric Gordon with 32 points and several assists, including one to Bassett just before the TV time-out. We just received word that Gordon has set the record for most points in a Hoosier debut.
---
4:55 Remaining in the 2nd Half D.J. White came back to the bench with a band-aid above his left eye. He seems ok, but I doubt he will re-enter the game.
---
6:09 Remaining in the 2nd Half D.J White takes a hard spill trying to block a Chattanooga shot. For a moment, he lay motionless, but he eventually got up. White was helped by trainer Tim Garl and was holding his left eye/side of his head. There is some blood on the floor which is being attended to by managers. White went to the locker room to a standing ovation. We'll post updates as we get them.

7:25 Remaining in the 1st Half After playing well for the last few minutes, the Hoosiers fall apart in the last minute before the TV timeout. 5 straiht points from UTC and a couple of IU turnovers cuts the Hoosier lead to 34-30.
Junior forward DeAndre Thomas was taken out of the game and then went to the locker room around the eight-minute mark. It did not look serious, cramping or something. I would be surprised if he didn't come back soon.
----
11:11 Remaining in the 1st half Coming out of the TV timeout, IU stopped Chattanooga on defense. Eric Gordon came down and hit a three-pointer.
