Indiana 102, Austin Peay 76

It was a high-scoring night for the Hoosiers, who shot an unreal 66.7 percent from the field and 59.3 percent from 3-point range. Indiana buried 16 3-pointers, with Nick Zeisloft hitting five and Yogi Ferrell and James Blackmon Jr. each nailing four. They were three of five Hoosiers in double figures. Ferrell led the way with 22 points — also handing out nine assists and grabbing six rebounds — Blackmon had 20, Zeisloft had 15, Troy Williams had 14 and Thomas Bryant had 11. Indiana had 14 steals, eclipsing its single-game season-high of nine from 2014-15. The Hoosiers still turned the ball over 20 times and shot just 60 percent from the free-throw line.

Michigan 88, Elon 68

The Wolverines breezed past Elon in Zak Irvin's return to the floor. Irvin missed the season-opener but played Monday, though he didn't score any points, missing all five shots he took. But there was plenty of good shooting news, mostly in the form of tremendous nights from 3-point range for Derrick Walton Jr. and Duncan Robinson. Walton went 6-for-7 from 3, finishing with a game-high 24 points — plus seven assists and six rebounds — while Robinson was a perfect 5-for-5 from behind the arc and finished with 19 points. Caris LeVert was also in double figures, scoring 11 and adding seven assists, four rebounds and four steals.
