Sam Alexis continues to shine in IU’s frontcourt

Through four games, Florida transfer Sam Alexis has been an indispensable piece in the IU frontcourt.

The 6-foot-8 forward was IU’s leading scorer against Incarnate Word on a night when the 3-point shot wasn’t falling for the Hoosiers.

Alexis finished with a team-high 16 points on 5-for-7 shooting from the field and a 6-for-8 mark from the free-throw line.
