Duke transfer Darren Harris scored a career-high 23 points, including five 3-pointers, leading Indiana to a 92-69 victory over Bellarmine. Harris shot 6-of-11 from the field and added six free throws, showing aggression and floor spacing ability.

Bryce Lindsay contributed 15 points, and Aiden Sherrell and Sam Alexis each scored 12 points as Indiana jumped to an early 22-7 lead and maintained control throughout the game, according to Yahoo Sports.

Indiana shot 50% from the field and made 12 three-pointers, outscoring Bellarmine 21-6 in second-chance points. The Hoosiers also displayed strong passing in the first half with 11 assists on 16 made field goals, Yahoo Sports noted.

However, Markus Burton fouled out with several minutes remaining and Indiana committed 12 turnovers, which Bellarmine converted into 15 points. These issues were highlighted as areas needing improvement before Indiana's next game, Yahoo Sports reported.

Indiana will face Syracuse on Monday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis for their first high-major matchup of the season, according to Yahoo Sports.

Overall, the game showed encouraging signs for Indiana, especially with Harris finding his shooting rhythm, but also revealed some rough edges to address moving forward, according to Yahoo Sports analysis.
