Indiana Basketball vs. Gonzaga Score Updates, Highlights: Bulldogs 57, Hoosiers 39

No. 15 Indiana Basketball looks to reverse its fortunes today, and its chance comes against No. 4 Gonzaga.

Louisville beat the Hoosiers (4-1) in the first round of the Battle 4 Atlantis, particularly in the backcourt. No IU guard scored in the first 35 minutes and they wilted under Louisville’s defensive pressure (23 turnovers, 20 made baskets).

The Bulldogs (5-1) suffered an overtime loss to West Virginia. Ryan Nembhard, the younger brother of Andrew Nembhard of the Indiana Pacers, struggled from the field (1 of 10) and scored 7 points with 12 assists. Former Butler player Khalif Battle scored 16 points and Braden Huff had 19.
