IU-South Carolina Postgame Show

Indiana defeated South Carolina 87-71 to improve to 3-0 on the season, led by Myles Rice's impressive 23-point performance.

The Hoosiers got off to a strong 17-4 start and maintained control throughout, though South Carolina did trim the lead to 8 late before IU pulled away. Despite a relatively quiet offensive night from big men Malik Reneau and Oumar Ballo, Indiana's guard play and defensive pressure proved to be the difference makers.

Key Storylines:

• Banner Moment: Early sequence where Kanaan Carlyle found Myles Rice for a catch-and-shoot three, sandwiched between two fast break conversions
• Guard Play: Strong ball pressure defensively and excellent transition offense set the tone, with guards dictating pace throughout
• Post Play: Ballo (7 pts, 13 reb, 6 blocks) and Reneau struggled with back-to-basket offense but were effective in other areas
• Three-Point Shooting: Indiana shot 8-17 (47.1%) from three-point range
• Free Throw Shooting: Strong 81.8% (27-33) from the line as a team

Plus: meaningful moments, key stats, game balls, and the hustle award.
