Postgame Notes
Indiana vs. Maryland
Jan. 26, 2025
• The Indiana Men's Basketball team (14-7, 5-5 B1G) fell in the final minute to visiting (RV/RV) Maryland, 79-78, on Sunday (Jan. 26) afternoon at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
• Sixth-year senior center Oumar Ballo scored 14 points. He grabbed 10 rebounds and pitched in three assists while playing all but one minute of the game.
• Ballo has scored in double figures on eight-straight occasions. Since the turn of the calendar year, he's had at least 10 points every time. In six of those eight games, he's reached the 15-point threshold.
• The veteran center recorded the 41st double-double of his career and his first since doing so against Ohio State (Jan. 17, 2025). It was the seventh of the season for Ballo.
• Sophomore forward Mackenzie Mgbako contributed a co-team high 16 points on Sunday afternoon. He finished 7-for-12 from the field and connected on a pair of 3-point field goals.
• Mgbako scored in double figures for the second-straight game. It was the first time he has back-to-back 10+ point outings since Jan. 2, 2025 (16 – vs. Rutgers) and Jan. 5, 2025 (20 – at Penn State).
• Redshirt sophomore guard Myles Rice was extremely productive against the Terrapins. He scored 16 points and hit three 3-point baskets. He also dished out three assists with just one turnover in 35 minutes.
• Rice has scored in double figures in five of the last six contests. In Big Ten play, he's reached at least 10 points on seven of 10 occasions this year.
• He turned up his game after the break on Sunday. Rice scored 14 points in the second half, hitting 5-of-9 field goals and 3-of-5 3-point baskets. He had zero turnovers in the final 20 minutes while playing the entire way.
• Junior forward Malik Reneau scored 10 points, the first time he's been in double figures since a win over Winthrop on Dec. 29, 2024 (14).
• He returned to the starting lineup for the first time since Jan. 2, 2025 vs. Rutgers. He missed five games through injury before coming off the bench against Northwestern last Wednesday (Jan. 22).
• Senior forward Luke Goode scored eight points. It's the third-straight game he's connected on at least two 3-point field goals.
• Fifth-year senior guard Trey Galloway scored six points. He contributed five assists. Galloway has had five-plus assists on 11 occasions this year.
• Sophomore guard Kanaan Carlyle scored two points and had one rebound.
• Fifth-year senior guard Anthony Leal scored six points on two separate and-one contributions.
• Leal helped lead a 17-6 run late in the second half. After trailing by as many as 10, Leal drove to the basket and was fouled two separate times. He converted on both baskets and both free throws.
• Up Next: IU gets the middle of the week off before heading to West Lafayette next weekend. The Hoosiers will play in-state rival Purdue at Mackey Arena next Friday night (Jan. 31) at 8:00 p.m. on FOX.
