When things go right for Indiana basketball, it looks like a well-oiled machine. The Hoosiers got off to a red-hot start against Chicago State on Saturday, making shots at a 56 percent clip while almost exclusively shooting from 3-point range.
Lamar Wilkerson and Nick Dorn combined for 27 first-half points on 9-of-15 shooting, taking all of their shots from deep and leading Indiana to a 52-29 halftime advantage.
Much like his historic 44-point performance versus Penn State on Dec. 9, Wilkerson looked confident from the jump. He scored nine of Indiana’s first 14 points, helping it take a 10-point lead three minutes into the game.
