Mackenzie Mgbako SHINES in opener, Indiana defeats SIUE 80-61 | Indiana Hoosiers Podcast

Locked On Hoosiers - Daily Podcast On Indiana Hoosiers Football & Basketball

Can Mackenzie Mgbako be the Indiana Hoosiers' standout star this season? With a stunning 31-point performance on 13-17 shooting, including 4-5 from beyond the arc, Mgbako is making a strong case in Indiana's season opener against SIU Edwardsville.

This episode breaks down the Indiana Hoosiers' impressive start, highlighting the balanced scoring from starters like Malik Reneau and Oumar Ballo, who each added 15 points. However, the lack of bench production remains a concern, with only 8 points coming from non-starters. Trey Galloway's playmaking shines through with 9 assists in just 17 minutes, showcasing his crucial role off the bench. The upcoming schedule poses challenges, especially with Eastern Illinois and South Carolina on the horizon, raising questions about the non-conference schedule's strength.

Tune in for an engaging analysis of the Indiana Hoosiers' path to success and discover what lies ahead for this promising team.
