Brian Smith breaks down Indiana's 73-53 victory, spotlighting DeVries’ scoring surge and Alexis’ defensive impact, while raising red flags over the Hoosiers’ missed layups, poor rebounding, and overreliance on three-point shooting. Key topics include the team’s struggles with offensive aggression, Wilkerson’s recent slump, and whether Coach DeVries can spark the necessary growth before conference play intensifies. Don’t miss this candid analysis of Indiana basketball’s evolving chemistry, lineup experiments, and the path forward as the Hoosiers chase relevancy in a stacked Big Ten.
