Indiana continued to handle business in an impressive manner on Tuesday night as it passed another mid-level major at the Simons Skeeter City Hall in Bloomington.

After putting Jackson State University on standby early, Park Stewart made a three-pointer to give the Indians a 29-15 lead late in the first half, and they never looked back.

Let's take a closer look at the victory of this version of the report card.

IU (5-0) will host Marshall at 7pm Eastern Time on Saturday

Indiana reversed their performance in the game against Louisiana, with fewer turnovers but poor shooting efficiency. In the game against Jackson State University, they halved their turnover rate to a more acceptable 17.1%, but IU's effective field goal percentage was only 52.9%, which was the lowest level since the season opener.

The Indians struggled for a while in the 1-2-2 matchup zone against Jackson State in the first half.

Head coach Mike Woodson said: "We stagnated very early until I called to time out and make changes." "Then we ended at halftime and they didn't come back after we made a few barrels."

That adjustment, overdrive to the area, caused Stewart's three-pointer to give IU a 29-15 lead.

Although Woodson found the answer in the penalty area, the Tigers may release some interesting movies on how to reduce Tres Jackson Davis's touch. He made only 7 shots in 24 minutes.

"He only touched the ball seven times tonight, a large part of which was related to the penalty area," Woodson said. "Again, guys, he will be trapped many times this year. I mean, when he got it, they trapped him. He passed the ball outside the penalty area is great....Yes, when I check The data sheet and seeing that he has only seven shots tonight, he has to get more. So it's up to me."

Although this is not the same area they will see against Syracuse next, and certainly not the same level of athletes, Indiana can work through some basic principles of area destruction.

"We just want to move and get some obvious open positions, then pass the ball to the middle of the zone and start the attack from there," forward Miller Cope said. "We feel that if we pass the ball there, we can get lobs and kicks, but not from there."

The Indiana team shot 40% from three-pointers that night. In the past four games, their long-range shooting percentages are exactly the same.

The Indians made only 16 of 26 free throws, and Jordan Geronimo missed 6 of 10 times.

Jackson State's 0.54 points per round is IU's best season, even better than their performance against Louisiana on Sunday. Only the Tigers' late burst of scoring prevented the decline of many records.

Indiana tied for the second-lowest scoring performance in the Simons Skeeter Hall. Montana State University also had 35 in 2018. 29 of the University of Notre Dame in 1971 are still records of the building.

As IU leads the country and the opponent's shooting percentage is only 28.4%, Woodson is working hard to find his defensive problems.

"I like everything about our defense, man. I mean, we are hunting it down," he said. ... "So far this season, they have insisted on this, and, man, this allows us to win, keeps us in the game, which allows us to surpass the team in the game."

Another area of ​​Indiana's national relevance is blocked shots. They rank 18th in the country with a block percentage of 18.1%, and Jackson Davis's blocked shots per game is more than twice that of last year, with an average of 3.6 blocks per game. He has four at night.

"For everyone on the perimeter, you know that those two guys (Jackson Davis and Les Thompson) came back there just to protect the paint, to protect the rim. Every shot was very controversial and it was difficult to get on. The basket and the layup on those two people," Cope said.

Jackson State University coach Wayne Brent felt the difference against the Indiana defense.

"They are really good defensively. As you can tell, we haven't pitched like our non-league opponents. But it has nothing to do with us. That's all about Indiana, it's just their length and blocking shots from the inside," Brent said. ... "Even if they don't block, they will change the way they shoot, making it hard for you to score."

Jackson State University’s shooting percentage in this game was only 20.7%, of which 15.8% from three-pointers. One of their three long-distance manufacturing is deposited.

The Trayce Jackson-Davis (B) team will find ways to get Jackson-Davis out of the game. Low traps and areas are options, but his presence creates more opportunities for others, so the team's shooting percentage is higher.

Race Thompson (B-) This constitutes a rest night for the usually reliable Thompson, even though he has some good passes and is part of a strong defensive night. As the competition intensifies, Indiana will need him to play a higher level on the offensive end.

Miller Kopp (C) Kopp has put in a good effort, but he is forcing some shots. The Indiana team must ensure that the team does not isolate him on the defensive end against guards. In general, in the past three games, Popular Science has made 5 of 12 shots, and he has been more effective in receiving and shooting opportunities.

Parker Stewart (A-) This is exactly who Indiana needs Stewart to be. His greatest contribution is as a shooter, and he is doing it. He showed new wrinkles and was able to take three steps back.

Xavier Johnson (A) This is Johnson's best game as an Indian. He didn't foul, and kept control while playing aggressive. When attacking the basket, he repeatedly demonstrated his excellent speed, skill and physical control. Seven rebounds and a 3 to 1 assist-to-turnover ratio limit strong effort.

Tamar Bates (A-) Bates is committed to running, and when he came in, he really helped Indiana speed up. For freshmen, it is another stable night.

Jordan Geronimo (B) You have good and bad. Geronimo got 8 free throws because he is very active, but obviously he needs more than 2 free throws. Although he played only 18 minutes, he also had the team's highest eight rebounds.

Khristian Lander (B) Lander continues to accumulate confidence-building performance. He cooperated well with Bates, gave IU a good rhythm, and he may have the best field vision in the team, although he sometimes needs to guide this vision and make more accurate passes.

Anthony Leal (B) Leal continues to show that he can be someone whose staff can be considered a three-pointer expert. He can obviously play the role of a regional spoiler in the game against Syracuse.

Michael Durr (B) Durr contributed 5 rebounds and 4 assists in 13 minutes, but averaged 0 of 3 shots per game. This may be his endurance level, but Durr's current vertical play seems very limited, although given his size, his lateral movement as a defender is indeed relatively good.

Rob Phinisee and Trey Galloway were sidelined due to injuries. Logan Duncombe was absent due to a three-game suspension.
