Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils

Southeast Missouri State Redhawks

WHEN: Nov. 27, 4 p.m. (ESPN3) WHERE: Assembly Hall 2015-16: 8-27, 4-12 in SWAC (t7th) COACH: Andre Payne 14-53 in 3rd year at MVSU KEY PLAYERS: Marcus Romain (6-2, Sr., G) 18.6 ppg, 5.4 rpg, 2.4 apg; Isaac Williams (6-4, Sr., G) 11.6 ppg, 3.4 rpg; Ta’Jay Henry (6-4, Sr., F) 4.9 ppg, 4.2 rpg. OUTLOOK: The top two scorers return for Mississippi Valley State, which will be taking on Indiana for the second time in three years. The Delta Devils are led by preseason first team All-SWAC guard Marcus Romain, who averaged nearly 19 points per game a year ago and led MVSU in rebounding at 5.4 per game. There are only two players over 6-7 on the roster.

WHEN: Dec. 4, 4 p.m. (ESPN2) WHERE: Assembly Hall 2015-16: 5-24, 2-14 in Ohio Valley (6th in OVC West) COACH: Rick Ray 5-24 in 2nd year at Southeast Missouri State KEY PLAYERS: Antonius Cleveland (6-6, Sr., G) 15.2 ppg, 6.6 rpg; Trey Kellum (6-7, Sr., F) 10.4 ppg, 5.7 rpg; Jamaal Calvin (6-1, Sr., G) 6.6 ppg, 3.3 rpg. OUTLOOK: Two of the worst teams on the IU schedule came in back-to-back fashion as the Redhawks were No. 342 in the RPI last year. However, 6-foot-6 senior guard Antonius Cleveland is a preseason All-OVC pick and considered one of the nation’s best non-power five guards, leading SEMO in scoring, rebounding, minutes played, steals and blocks a season ago.

OUTLOOK: It’s a rematch of last year’s Sweet Sixteen game in Philadelphia, when the Tar Heels shot 55 percent from 3 and 51.6 percent from the field overall in a 101-86 victory. Key participants are gone from each side, including a preseason injury to UNC wing and former IU recruiting target Theo Pinson, who is out indefinitely. The previous matchup was one of the rare nights when the Hoosiers’ OG Anunoby struggled against the Tar Heels’ size and this will provide both an individual and collective measuring stick.

The key to success will be RPI, SIUE will look to take a step forward in 2016-17. The Cougars did lead the OVC in blocks for the frontline to emerge as a physical factor in the paint, a task that will be aided by the per game (4.0) last season, but they’ll still be arrival of Indiana All-Star Joey Brunk. overmatched against the Hoosiers.

Sentra S

WHEN: Dec. 10, 4 p.m. (BTN) WHERE: Assembly Hall 2015-16: 17-17, 10-8 in Southland (5th) COACH: Ron Cottrell 452-350 in 26th year at Houston Baptist KEY PLAYERS: Colter Lasher (6-7, Sr., F) 10.5 ppg, 4.7 rpg; Josh Ibarra (6-11, Jr., C) 10.3 ppg, 6.6 rpg; Reveal Chukwujekwu (6-3, Sr., G/F) 8.1 ppg, 5.0 rpg. OUTLOOK: The Huskies do have some size, but whether that size can keep up with the pace at which Indiana plays is a whole different question. This will be the third of a trio of cupcakes bridging the gap between two of Indiana’s biggest non-conference games, so the Hoosiers just have to avoid a letdown.
