SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Indiana basketball faces Serbian professional team Mega Superbet at 7 p.m. Saturday in its second of three exhibition games in Puerto Rico.

Following a 98-47 victory over Universidad de Bayamon on Wednesday, the Hoosiers spent two days of team bonding. Mega Superbet is a stronger opponent and figures to provide a better litmus test as to where Indiana stands at the end of summer.

Indiana is down three players, two of whom aren't with the team in Puerto Rico. Bosnian freshman center Andrej Acimovic is scheduling a visa appointment with the U.S. Embassy and hopes to be in Bloomington by the end of August, while junior guard Jason Drake has a lower-body injury and didn't travel.

Junior guard Nick Dorn has an undisclosed injury but traveled with the team. Dorn will not play Saturday.

FINAL:

Indiana, left for dead with a 23-point deficit in the second quarter, used a 70-19 run to grab a 93-71 victory over Mega Superbet. The Hoosiers flipped a switch on both ends of the floor, and once shots started falling, they didn't stop.

Lamar Wilkerson led Indiana with 18 points. Each of Indiana's 10 scholarship players, plus walk-on Ian Stephens, scored in the game.

The Hoosiers return to action at 11 a.m. Monday against Mega Superbet.

Q4, 6:46

Indiana's lead is now at 78-63, and the Hoosiers are suffocating Mega with defense and transition offense. Indiana is on an 11-4 run to start the fourth quarter, and the overall run is at 57-19 since the Hoosiers' largest deficit.

END Q3

Aleksa Ristic buries a catch-and-shoot 3-pointer from the right wing, and Indiana carries a 67-59 lead into the fourth quarter. The Hoosiers are on a 46-15 run and won the third quarter 32-11.

Q3, 1:01

Timeout, Mega Superbet. Indiana leads 64-59, capped by a turnaround jump hook from Alexis.

The Hoosiers regained the lead at 62-59 after an and-one layup from junior guard Jasai Miles, his first points of the day. Freshman guard Aleksa Ristic preceded Miles' bucket with a tough layup off the glass in the paint.

Q3, 3:23

Tied at 54, Indiana guard Conor Enright has fouled out. Trying to fight through a screen, Enright and a Mega Superbet player fell, and the officials blew the whistle on Enright, who, exasperated by the call, threw his arms in the air.

Indiana was moments removed from taking a 54-53 lead, which came with 3:40 remaining in the third quarter on a put-back from Alexis, who grabbed Wilkerson's missed layup and flushed it home. It was the Hoosiers' first lead since 3-2.

Q3, 7:29

Indiana has tied it. The Hoosiers are on a 14-1 run out of the break.

Q3, 8:09

Indiana started the second half strong, with Wilkerson finishing a right-hand layup and Tucker DeVries hitting a 3-pointer from the left wing. Another 3-pointer from Wilkerson and a pair of Enright free throws -- plus a free throw from Mega -- and the Hoosiers' deficit is down to just 49-45.

Halftime

Indiana punched back and finished the half strong, cutting Mega Superbet's lead to 48-35. Freshman Trent Sisley hit a corner 3-pointer, and the Hoosiers had two quality defensive possessions out of the break.

Conerway missed a reverse layup with three seconds remaining, but otherwise, the Hoosiers' final minute offered a positive lift.

After a dismal first quarter, Indiana found its footing offensively down the stretch and won the second quarter. The Hoosiers enter halftime in striking distance.

Q2, 1:01

Another timeout from Mega Superbet with its lead down to 48-32. The Hoosiers scored five straight points leading into the timeout, as Tucker DeVries hit a corner 3-pointer and Tayton Conerway made a reverse layup.

Q2, 4:05

Timeout, Mega Superbet. Indiana faced its largest deficit at 44-21 but clawed back to 44-27, thanks to six consecutive points from Bailey. He had an and-one reverse layup, missed the free throwed and scored again after Indiana's offensive rebound.

The Hoosiers have momentum, but Mega Superbet has often punched back. An important stretch looming for Indiana to close the half.

END Q1

Mega Superbet leads 31-16 at the end of the opening frame. Indiana's defensive intensity was better in the final minute. Senior forward Tucker DeVries blocked a shot, and the Hoosiers scored on back-to-back possessions to close the quarter -- senior guard Lamar Wilkerson made a right-handed layup, and fellow senior guard Conor Enright knocked down a pair of free throws.

Q1, 1:00

Another timeout from Indiana coach Darian DeVries, who's used two in nine minutes of game action. Mega leads 29-12.

The Hoosiers are struggling defensively with Mega Superbet's size, length and shooting, and Indiana can't find good looks offensively. When they've found open 3-pointers, the Hoosiers have struggled connecting -- they've made just one triple in the opening quarter.

Q1, 4:00

Timeout, Indiana.

The Hoosiers trail 23-10, and a variety of lineups haven't worked. Mega Superbet is big and lanky, and it's shot the ball well through the first six minutes.

Indiana scored its first basket on a 3-pointer from senior forward Lamar Wilkerson, but the Hoosiers struggled finding their shot from long range.

Senior forward Tucker DeVries tossed a lob to senior forward Sam Alexis, who later made a turnaround fadeaway, but offense has been hard to come by.

The Hoosiers' first three substitutions were senior forward Sam Alexis in for senior forward Reed Bailey, junior guard Jasai Miles in for Wilkerson, and after Miles was called for a foul, freshman forward Trent Sisley in for Miles. Freshman guard Aleksa Ristic later entered for senior guard Conor Enright, who picked up two quick fouls.

Pregame

Indiana has the same starters: Guards Conor Enright, Lamar Wilkerson and Tayton Conerway, and forwards Tucker DeVries and Reed Bailey.

Of note for Mega Superbet, Milwaukee Bucks draft pick Bogoljub Markovic is present and in the starting lineup. Markovic competed in the summer leagie for the Bucks.

6:29 p.m.

Indiana has returned to the floor for warmups. The Hoosiers were met with applause from several fans sitting courtside, who traveled with team through the program-issued package.

6:20 p.m.

Indiana entered its locker room after stretching and warming up for roughly 45 minutes. The teams are playing with a lighter, smaller ball than usual.

5:28 p.m.

Just over an hour and a half before tipoff, Indiana arrived at Coliseo Roberto Clemente. The Hoosiers were nearly 20 minutes earlier than they were before Wednesday's tip, when they were delayed by traffic.

Senior forward Tucker DeVries was the first active Indiana player to put up shots.
