Illinois lands Evansville transfer Ben Humrichous. One of the best shooters in the portal, shooting 41% from deep on more than five attempts per game. Great size at 6’9. Love this fit for how Illinois wants to play.

Indiana target Malachi Moreno, the No. 27 national recruit, with a great opening game in Westfield. 17 points to lead Indiana Elite. Tremendous sequence from the 6-foot-11 center — snatch block, outlet pass and put-back dunk, followed by another block and put-back. #iubb
