IU basketball rallies to 93-71 win in Puerto Rico

Indiana overcame a sizable first-half hole to beat Mega Superbet 93-71 in an exhibition at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Hoosiers leaned on a balanced attack and timely plays to close the margin and pull away in the second half.

Indiana finished with strong ball movement and depth, collecting 22 assists and getting a sizable contribution from the bench, which produced 39 points. The stat line also showed a mix of scorers and multiple players contributing rebounds and defense.

Two themes stand out from the game. First, the depth looks legitimate as several players stepped up and offered a versatile rotation for a demanding trip. Second, the shooting was solid but ball handling and free-throw consistency will be areas to tighten as the season progresses. The trip to Puerto Rico tests a young roster and helps build team chemistry on the road.

Highlights

The trip offers a real test and a clear path for growth as the season approaches.
