Defense a Focus as the Jackrabbits Come to Bloomington

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Hoosiers are explosive offensively.

Through the first few weeks of the season, Indiana has been filling it up on offense, ranking second in the nation with 90.2 points a game, making 53.0 percent of its shot attempts from the floor—No. 4 in the country—and leading the nation in both free-throws made (23.2) and attempted (30.8) per game.

The Hoosiers are balanced, and they can make things happen in the halfcourt game or in transition. IU's scoring is a big reason why Indiana is off to a 6-0 start, and they have a chance to move to 7-0 to open the year for the first time since the 2012-13 campaign if they knock off South Dakota State at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall Saturday afternoon.
