Indiana v. Northwood box score | iuhoosiers.com
Northwood got spanked pretty soundly, as you would expect they would, by an Indiana squad that had only nine healthy players. Not nine scholarship players, nine players total. The bench scored five points for Indiana, but the starters had 89, so it was okay. This is only interesting in that Xavier plays Northwood tomorrow.

Edmond Sumner has been struggling with knee tendinitis that has held him out of practice, but Coach Mack says he's almost ready to get back to action. He'll miss the exhibition and probably the first game, but the problem is not anticipated to cost him significant time.

Teen with cancer to play for Bellarmine against Louisville | Dana O'Neil, espn.com
After receiving "treatment reserved for patients who have not responded to chemotherapy," 15-year-old leukemia patient Patrick McSweeney will play for Bellarmine this Sunday in an exhibition. Bellarmine coach Scott Davenport started working on this in July and just on Wednesday got approval from the NCAA to actually do it. Real feather in your cap there, NCAA.

Did you guys all catch the game last night? #HoyerTheDestroyer
