The Hoosiers won their first and only exhibition game, defeating the University of Indianapolis, 90-72, Saturday at Assembly Hall. IU was aided by a 50-point outburst in the first half, that allowed IU a double-digit lead the entire second half.
The crowd cheered every time freshman forward Cody Zeller touched the ball, wanting to see the 2011 Mr. Basketball in action. However, Zeller waited for his opportunities as the Hoosiers continued to build a double-digit first-half lead.

Now, for the third consecutive season, the University of Indianapolis looks to knock off a Division I opponent when it heads to Bloomington this Saturday evening to take on IU in the Hoosiers’ only exhibition game of 2011.
This season, the Hoosiers can thrive if they execute an up-tempo offense that centers around transition play, following a year when they gave up the most points in the Big Ten.
The IU men’s basketball team welcomed local trick-or-treaters into Assembly Hall on Saturday afternoon with a 30-minute intersquad scrimmage.
The IU men’s basketball team is 28-66 in the Tom Crean era. It is 8-46 in Big Ten play during that three-year period. On top of that, the Hoosiers are 1-26 in Big Ten road games under Crean.
This Saturday, Justin Pagan and his senior teammates have the opportunity to bring their careers full circle. It is once again Homecoming, and the Wildcats are the opponents one last time.
At Big Ten Basketball Media Day, men’s and women’s basketball coaches and players expressed that consensus, but most talked about how another addition to the conference brings more competition for all teams involved.
