Amy Tanner+FollowHoosiers finally let it fly from deepIndiana basketball fans have been craving more 3-point shooting, and Darian DeVries’ new-look Hoosiers delivered—firing up 33 threes in their preseason opener. Sure, only nine went in, but what stood out was the team’s willingness to play fast and unselfish, with players like Conor Enright passing up easy twos for open threes. Freshman Trent Sisley made a strong case for a big role, and transfer Lamar Wilkerson kept shooting, even on an off night. It’s clear: this IU squad is embracing a new, aggressive identity. What do you think—will this bold approach pay off in the Big Ten? #Sports #Basketball #IUBB00Share
