Wilkerson Leads Indiana Past Siena 81-60 to Cap Nonconference Slate

Indiana ends nonconference play with questions about second-half consistency before Big Ten resumes in early January.

Overview

  • Indiana jumped to an 11-0 start and led 46-20 at halftime, then saw Siena win the second half 40-35 to get within 15 before the Hoosiers closed it out.
  • Lamar Wilkerson scored 23 points with seven rebounds and four assists, extending his streak to nine straight double-figure games and topping 18 in four consecutive home outings.
  • Tucker DeVries posted 16 points and 11 rebounds, with support from Tayton Conerway’s 16 and Nick Dorn’s three 3-pointers for 11.
  • The win moves Indiana to 10-3 and completes its nonconference schedule, with Big Ten play set to restart Jan. 4 at home against Washington after a holiday break.
  • Coverage emphasized a recurring pattern of dominant first halves followed by sluggish offense and loosened defense that Indiana must tighten for league play.
