Show Notes
Indiana opened their 2023-24 season with a solid 80-61 victory over SIU Edwardsville, powered by sophomore Mackenzie Mgbako's breakout 31-point performance that served notice his offseason development was no mirage.
From the Assembly Call postgame discussion:
- Mgbako's transformed confidence leads to a career-high 31 points on efficient 13-of-17 shooting
- Myles Rice, Trey Galloway, and Kanaan Carlyle bringing distinctly different but complementary skills at guard
- High expectations meeting early growing pains for Oumar Ballo
- Questions about defensive rebounding after allowing 16 offensive boards
- Signs of an evolving offensive identity under Mike Woodson
- A dominant individual performance earns the game ball
- Hustle Award goes to a spark plug guard who elevated the entire team's energy
The Hoosiers move to 1-0 and will look to build on this foundation when they host Eastern Illinois on Sunday at noon.
On the mics: Coach Brian Tonsoni, Andy Bottoms, Ryan Phillips
