Indiana passed its first major test of the Darian DeVries era on Sunday in emphatic fashion, running Marquette out of the United Center with a 100-77 victory.
Tucker DeVries and Lamar Wilkerson combined for 50 points on 12-for-19 3-point shooting, and helped Indiana become the first team to score 100 points against a Shaka Smart-coached Division I team.
Indiana returns home for a Wednesday night matchup against Milwaukee, which was picked to win the Horizon League in the preseason poll. It's one of five straight home games for the Hoosiers through November, before traveling to Minnesota to begin Big Ten play.
Here's more information on the matchup.
Milwuakee is off to a 2-1 start with 90-86 home win over Hampton, an 86-76 loss at Wofford and a 92-72 home win over Little Rock on Monday. Senior guard Seth Hubbard leads the Panthers with 19.3 points per game on 8-for-15 3-point shooting. Fellow senior guard Amar Augillard scored a team-high 25 points on 6-for-13 3-point shooting against Little Rock.
Milwaukee is ranked 186th nationally by KenPom, including the 142nd offensive efficiency, 270th defensive efficiency and 50th adjusted tempo. The Panthers will likely try to play fast and hope their 39% 3-point shooting through three games translates against tougher competition. Milwaukee also has solid size with starting forwards like 6-foot-10 Faizon Fields and 6-foot-8 Danilo Jovanovich.
Going into the season, Milwaukee was picked to win the Horizon League title after receiving 24 of 44 possible first-place votes from the league's head coaches, SIDs and media members. Augillard made the preseason All-Horizon League first team, while Fields and Hubbard were picked to the second team.
