Thoughts on a 98-51 win against the Bulldogs:
It was a night of history and milestones for Darian and Tucker DeVries.
Tucker, the active leading scorer in Division I basketball, surpassed 2,000 career points. His father, Darian, won his first regular-season game by 47 points, the largest margin of victory for an Indiana men’s basketball coach in a debut.
Oh, and this team continues to delight. The ball movement, cutting, screening, spacing, passing, 3-pointers, free-throw shooting and heady plays continue to define this new era of IU basketball. It is a new day, a new dawn, as modernity has finally entered Assembly Hall, sending to the darkness a nearly decade-long period of stuck-in-the-mud basketball.
