That for sure was outstanding but so was the free-throw shooting. On the other hand, offensive rebounding was very bad.

27 turnovers are a very bad statistic. It might work against pud teams but that’s about it.

This game wasn't much more than a good scrimmage ..
Ugly disjointed from the beginning..
Crap teams have a way of doing that..

Yes turnovers were bad but holding a team to 19% fg percentage I will take that anyday.

When a team misses 59 shots, they have a lot of opportunities for ORs. IU outrebounded them by 10.

IU's first half defense was exceptional - 14 points. Guessing there's not many DI teams holding opponents to an average of 20 pts. in the first half through four games.

Yep. I heard Mark Bixler, who won a state championship at Jeffersonville in the early 1990's, speak at a clinic. He opened his speech by stating that the clinic committee had asked him to speak on offensive rebounding, since his team led the state in that category. His next line was something to the effect of " the best way to lead the state in offensive rebounding is to miss a lot of shots".
