His team suddenly found itself down 44-21 a few minutes into the second quarter.
It was a low point for Indiana. Playing in its first of two games against Serbian professional team Mega Superbet, there was no answer for the length. DeVries had already taken his two allotted timeouts for the half in the first quarter with no luck.
“I was more worried, just like, how we were down 44 to 21,” DeVries said. “I just thought we were getting out-toughed a little bit and some things at both ends of the floor.”
Tough shots kept falling on one end, while the other looked like it had a lid on the rim.
