WATCH: Miller Kopp Hits Corner 3 to Extend Indiana's Lead Before Halftime
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana was on fire from 3 in the first half of its second regular season game against Bethune-Cookman on Thursday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
Indiana shot 8-for-16 from 3-point range in the first half, including this corner 3 from Miller Kopp. The Hoosiers head into the halftime locker room with a 49-23 lead.
It's not just been one player carrying the load, either.

Freshman Jalen Hood-Schifino is 0-for-4 from 3, but he's finding other ways to contribute with five assists, three rebounds and two steals.
