Thoughts on a 76-74 win against the Bears:
If Indiana’s first exhibition showed its strengths — the impressive ball movement and 3-point shotmaking on full display — its second exhibition against Baylor exposed its weaknesses.
The Bears, another team with an entirely new roster, trotted out more size, length and athleticism than the Hoosiers. It showed early. Indiana struggled to contain the bounce, as Baylor scored several buckets at the rim on the drive. The Bears gobbled up offensive rebounds. On the other end, Baylor took Indiana out of its stuff. The Hoosiers struggled to move the ball and find good, easy looks in their offense.
