7:00 - Estimated attendance, per IU media relations, was 1,800

5:40 - White wins 48-43 (costume parade up next):

Red: Jones 11, Hulls 11, Pritchard 8, Elston 8, Gambles 5, Muniru 0 / White: Capobianco 15, Watford 12, Creek 9, Jobe 5, Moore 5, Barnett 2

5:35 (1:07 to play) - Creek just made a nice step back 3-pointer. All of a sudden he's at nine points. 46-40 White leading.

5:30 - Added time to the clock, so it looks it will be just one half of play. Elston just hit two free throws in four attempts. 38-38

5:26 - White takes the lead 38-36. Watford scored four more to get to 12 (all of his points have been within a few feet of the basket) and Tijan Jobe just drew some contact to make a lay-up and later hit the free throw. He has five.

5:23 - Red up 36-31... Red: Jones 9, Hulls 8, Pritchard 8, Elston 6, Gambles 5 / White: Capobianco 13, Watford 8, Creek 3, Moore 3, Jobe 2, Barnett 2

Capobianco has had his sloppy moments, but has played rather well. Watford has shown his athleticism and has made a couple nice moves around the basket. Creek did not come to play today, but he's sharing guard duties with Moore and would benefit from Dumes and Rivers in the game. Pritchard was quiet, but has scored six quick points.

4:59 - 18-13 Red. Hulls added five (seven total) for the Red squad, while Capobianco scored six points for White while Daniel Moore hit a 3-pointer as well. A guy behind press row screamed, "He shot!"

4:48 - Under 16 time out (no joke) Red up early 13-4. Watford has all four points for White. Jones leading the way for Red with four points, Hulls has three, while Gambles, Elston and Pritchard all have two. Layup contest between two kids in costumes. The Joker won.

4:36 - Red squad: Bawa Muniru, Jordan Hulls, Verdell Jones, Steven Gambles, Tom Pritcahrd, Derek Elston. White squad: Kory Barnett, Christian Watford, Maurice Creek, Daniel Moore, Tijan Jobe. Jeremiah Rivers, Matt Roth, Brett Finkelmeier and Devan Dumes are not playing.

4:28 p.m. - Tom Crean is here... Standard red pullover windbreaker and black pants. Referees here for the eventual scrimmage...Lots of the women's team is here, as are Bobby Capobianco's parents for those keeping track... The aforementioned 6-foot-6 Kendrick is being shown around by assistant Roshown McLeod...Players still warming up....Crean just took the mic.

DeAntae Prince and I are up here on press row giving you updates from the Haunted Hall of Hoops here at Assembly Hall (in reverse order)... The players just took the floor to a nice golf-like clap.... Probably just a couple hundred people in attendance right now... Some decent costumes, but nothing has stood out thus far except for a giant eagle costume... Five-star recruit Jelan Kendrick, a senior from Georgia, is here (see photo below).
