PHOTO GALLERY: Indiana Basketball vs. Saint Francis
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Take a look at 10 photos from Indiana's 104-59 exhibition game win over the Saint Francis Cougars on Thursday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
Freshmen Jalen Hood-Schifino got his second start of the season along with veterans Trayce Jackson-Davis, Race Thompson, Xavier Johnson and Miller Kopp.
Jackson-Davis had to miss the first exhibition game against Marian because of a right hand injury, but was ready to play Thursday night with a taped-up hand. Sophomore guard Tamar Bates also played his first game after missing the Marian exhibition with an undisclosed injury.
Indiana coach Mike Woodson said Bates is a great piece for the team, and he was thrilled to have him back in the game.
Jackson-Davis finished the night with 19 points followed by Hood-Schifino and Reneau with 15 a piece. Five Hoosiers scored in double figures, and three players in Jackson-Davis (9), Reneau (8) and Jordan Geronimo (8) nearly reached double figure boards.
Up next, the Hoosiers will begin regular season play when they take on Morehead State on Monday at Assembly Hall.
The Hoosiers will then take on Bethune-Cookman Thursday at home before heading to Cincinnati to take on Xavier for their first away game of the season on Friday, Nov. 18.
The first Big Ten game of the season comes on Dec. 3 against Rutgers in Piscataway, N.J. followed by a home game with Nebraska on Dec. 7.
The rest of conference play resumes on Jan. 5 versus Iowa in Iowa City.
