1st Half
The Wildcats (2-5) and Sea Wolves (5-2) got into a slug fest in the first half, as neither team could get into any rhythm offensively. Both teams' shooting percentages dipped to 20% and both teams were sloppy with the basketball.

Erik Pratt made a jumper off a B-CU turnover with 7:13 left, giving the Sea Wolves the 19-15 advantage, but the Wildcats began to heat up from the field, scoring 15 during the remainder of the half. The defensive intensity picked up as a result, holding Stony Brook scoreless the rest of the way.

Overall, B-CU held Stony Brook to just 6-26 from the field while forcing 10 turnovers. They led 30-19 at halftime. Quentin Heady scored 12 points, making eight of his ten attempts from the free-throw line.

2nd Half
Stony Brook began to break through offensively in the second half, reaching their first half point total in the first 10 minutes of the second. The Wildcats shot just 5-for-20 during the same stretch as the Sea Wolves cut into the lead.

Stony Brook tied the game at 42 off a dunk by Quin Gorman. They would take the lead with 4:39 off another make from Gorman as B-CU's shooting struggles continued.

The Sea Wolves were able to build on their lead thanks to Ethan Simmon, who made three-straight three-pointers in crunch time. They won the game 61-54, winning the second half 42-24.


The 25th ranked Indiana Hoosiers are 5-0 on the season with dominant wins over high-majors Marquette and Kansas State.

The Hoosiers are led in scoring by redshirt senior guard Tucker DeVries. The veteran has seen stops at Drake, West Virginia, and has now taken his talents to Indiana. He is averaging 17.5 points on .455/.429/.824 shooting splits. DeVries is also second on the team in rebounding at 5.8 per contest.

Sam Houston transfer Lamar Wilkerson is second on the team, scoring 16.5 points per game.

Indiana is a well-balanced team, ranking toward the top of the NCAA in most statistical categories. They have shot 49.6% from the field this season while holding opponents to just 37.0%.



This will be the second-ever matchup between Bethune-Cookman and Indiana. The Hoosiers dominated the only matchup in 2022, winning 101-49 at home.
