Indiana Beats Baylor, Routs UCLA 56-6

Indiana men's basketball rallied from a 13-point first-half deficit to beat Baylor 76-74 in an exhibition at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, capped by Tayton Conerway's go‑ahead and‑one with eight seconds left and a team‑leading 28 points from Lamar Wilkerson; the Hoosiers shot 20‑for‑21 from the line and committed nine turnovers, highlighting veteran poise but ongoing concerns with slow starts and rebounding. Ohio State used its final exhibition to rout Ohio 103-74, shooting 60% and getting balanced scoring from Brandon Noel (18), Christoph Tilly (14) and freshman Amare Bynum (13). On the football field, No. 2 Indiana demolished UCLA 56-6 in Bloomington after an early Aiden Fisher interception return and a four‑touchdown game from quarterback Fernando Mendoza, as Indiana totaled 475 yards while holding UCLA to 201. Indiana's defense added three sacks, seven tackles for loss and three turnovers forced, and RB Roman Hemby contributed 81 rushing yards and two touchdowns. The Hoosiers' football team remains unbeaten and will head to Maryland for its next Big Ten test; both Indiana basketball squads finish exhibitions encouraged but aware of areas to tighten before the regular season.
