Indiana Upset By Wake Forest In Maui

The one bright spot was a 10-point victory against St. John’s on Tuesday, sandwiched between the two losses.

Next up for No. 17 Vanderbilt (4-0) is Wake Forest, which upset No, 13 IN in the opening round (6:30 p.m., ESPN).

In this game, production was flipped as Welsh and Alford were silent while Tony Parker, Aaron Holiday and Isaac Hamilton had 15, 16 and 19 respectively. We haven’t been doing that exactly. This is their sixth appearance and in 1988 they were led by current Wake Forest coach Danny Manning…. Rohndell Goodwin finished with 18 points and Chaminade held a 37-33 lead at the half.

“I wish I might have shot faked or something better, but that play’s over”, Zeisloft said. But thanks to No. 13 IN also finding itself IN the loser’s bracket, the Rebels got a second chance and took advantage of it. We have a lot of room for improvement defensively.

Vanderbilt scored the game’s first nine points and it only got worse from there for the Red Storm (3-1), who lost for the first time under first-year coach Chris Mullin and almost suffered the worst loss in school history.

Kansas finished 32 of 59 (54.2 percent) from the field and 10 of 23 (43.5 percent) on 3s.

In the middle of arguably the toughest two-week non-conference run in Tom Crean’s eight-year tenure as IU coach, the Hoosiers are – more than anything – stuck. “That’s why we focus on it’s every play throughout the course of 40 minutes”. “We just went through some stretches where we didn’t execute as well as we needed to execute against their zone”.

Center Damian Jones (7-0, 245 junior) and guard Wade Baldwin (6-3 soph) had 17 points apiece while Jeff Roberson (6-6 soph) had 10 points.

While Federico Mussini (14 points on 5-of-13 shooting) struggled to get his shot off from the perimeter, he showed toughness, attacking the rim and finishing in the paint towards the end of the first stanza.

The game was sloppy throughout, with UCLA committing 19 turnovers and UNLV 16. There’s not a lot of time for celebrating, to be honest with you. “They were as good as we thought”. Williams made both free throws and IN was given possession of the ball….

The Rebels’ start against IN (4-2) was just as good as Monday’s against UCLA.

I said in the preseason that outside of Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker at Wisconsin, no Big Ten team had bigger shoes to fill than Iowa, following the graduations of Aaron White and Gabe Olaseni. “We told the guys, ‘Great win, way to fight, way to grind it out”. “They come at you in waves and we didn’t think they would shoot from the outside the way they did”. “We really do, or we’ve got to fix the lineup”. That helped Vandy push their lead to as many as 25 points as the two teams slogged through a second half that seemed to have as many referee whistles as made baskets.

Chaminade: loser of UNLV-UCLA in Maui Invitational consolation round today.

An up-and-down first half ended with a 3-pointer by Mitchell Wilbekin that gave the Demon Deacons a 50-45 lead.

The Hoosiers committed 21 turnovers and never led against UNLV, dropping the second of three games to one of the tournament field’s bottom-tier teams.
