BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Thanksgiving may be a couple of days in the past, but the Hoosiers are still eating.

Indiana got 20 points from redshirt senior forward Tucker DeVries and opened the game on a 17-7 run to roll to an 100-56 win over Bethune-Cookman on Saturday, Nov. 29, at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

The victory pushed IU to 7-0 on the year and moved the Hoosiers to 2-0 all-time vs. Bethune-Cookman following a win in 2022. The victory also marked the third time Indiana has cracked the century mark in scoring this year.

IU's balance was on full display as well, with a total of five players scoring in double figures, including fifth-year senior guard Lamar Wilkerson with 18 points, and 14 each from junior guard Nick Dorn, senior forward Sam Alexis, and freshman forward Trent Sisley.

Indiana dominated on the glass, outrebounding B-C 43-29. The Hoosiers additionally finished the game with 27 assists on 36 made baskets, led by Conor Enright, who handed out seven assists against just one turnover in the win.

For the second-straight game, IU came out firing from 3-point range, drilling four 3s in the first nine minutes of action, including a pair from DeVries. Indiana's spacing and unselfishness also opened the lane, leading to dunks from Alexis and Sisley early that brought the crowd to their feet.

IU led 51-23 at halftime after going 7-of-18 from 3-point range and shooting 50 percent from the field overall. Indiana also handed out 15 assists on 17 made baskets in the first 20 minutes. The Hoosiers were relentless on the defensive end, holding Bethune-Cookman to just 26 percent shooting in the first half.

IU continued its pressure after the break, with Lamar Wilkerson and Reed Bailey scoring on inside buckets before DeVries drained a pull-up triple to put Indiana up 61-26 with 16:25 to play.

The IU lead continued to grow as the Hoosiers made a living in the lane. Alexis scored on back-to-back possessions on a short jumper and a lay-up with 13:22 to go, then it was DeVries' turn, scoring on a lay-up of his own on IU's next possession to put Indiana up by 36.

The Hoosiers' offense moved back outside, with 3s from Dorn sandwiching a free throw from Bailey and a driving lay-up from Wilkerson. Bethune-Cookman didn't have an answer and never made a push.
