Postgame:
Down 73-68 with 2 minutes left the Hoosiers rallied and outscored Memphis 10-1 down the stretch to win 78-74.
The winning basket came with 40 seconds left when Indiana's Whitney Lindsay converted a three point play by hitting a lay-up while being fouled. After an empty possession by Memphis, senior Jamie Braun sealed the outcome with a free throw with 10 seconds left.
Davis ended up leading the team with 21 points as the Hoosiers improved to 1-0.
A full wrap will be posted on the website later tonight. Also join us Sunday at 2pm for a live blog when IU opens its home season with IUPUI.
Halftime:
The Hoosiers showed their youth in the first half as Memphis was able to trim a 14 point lead down to 43-37 at the half. Junior guard and captain Jori Davis leads the team in scoring with 14 points while newcomer Hope Elam also is in double figures with 10. IU managed to shoot 53.1% from the field which is the key to the lead they have built.
Stay tuned for a wrap-up at the end of the game.
Pregame:
The Hoosiers are about 10 minutes away from their seaon opener at Memphis. I am not their with them but fortunately with the technology of today I can still follow the game and keep everyone updated.
As people may know IU finished last year with 21 wins but also lost four seniors. Memphis is coming off a 12-18 record that included a first round loss to Marshall in the Conference USA Tournament.
