IU Dominates, Rallies on Puerto Rico Basketball Tour

Indiana University's men's basketball team started their Puerto Rico exhibition tour with a commanding 98-47 victory over Universidad de Bayamon, featuring standout performances by Trent Sisley, Sam Alexis, and Josh Harris. In a subsequent game, Indiana overcame a 23-point deficit to defeat Serbian professional team Mega Superbet 93-71, led by Lamar Wilkerson's 18 points. The tour will conclude with a rematch against Mega Superbet, whose roster includes recent NBA draft pick Bogoljub Marković, though both teams are managing injuries and absences. Freshman center Andrej Acimovic, known for his versatility, missed the trip due to visa issues. Analysts caution that the results of these August exhibitions may not be indicative of regular-season performance. None of Indiana’s games in Puerto Rico were televised or streamed, limiting fan access.
