Indiana Basketball Leads Puerto Rico Tour With Win, Prepares For Mega Superbet

The Indiana Hoosiers basketball team, under new coach Darian DeVries, kicked off their Puerto Rico exhibition tour with a dominant 98-47 win over Universidad de Bayamon. Freshman Trent Sisley led the team with 21 points, showcasing the new offensive style that features a heavy emphasis on three-point shooting, a departure from previous seasons. The team is currently missing key players including Bosnian freshman center Andrej Acimovic, who is awaiting a visa, and junior guard Jason Drake, who is injured. Indiana will face tougher competition in back-to-back games against Serbian professional team Mega Superbet, which provides a stronger test for the squad’s progress. The games are played under FIBA rules, with shorter quarters and a 24-second shot clock, contributing to a different game flow. Early observations suggest potential in several players such as Tucker DeVries, Lamar Wilkerson, Reed Bailey, and Sam Alexis, while Aleksa Ristic is already taking on significant playmaking responsibilities despite his recent arrival.
