The men’s basketball team bounced back from its exhibition loss to Notre Dame with a convincing 105-80 victory over Indiana State in the Bulldogs’ final tune-up.
The teams agreed to an altered format for the game, playing 12-minute quarters instead of the usual 20-minute halves.
Head coach Thad Matta explained the rationale for the deviation from the typical rules, adding eight extra minutes compared to a normal game.
“We wanted to get some of our main guys more minutes but also the young guys,” Matta said.
