Indiana’s men’s basketball squad delivered a commanding 107‑40 victory over Chile in the semifinal of the FISU America Games, moving one step closer to the championship match.
The Hoosiers exploded out of the gate, outscoring Chile 65‑20 in the first half, as a relentless full‑court press turned every defensive rebound into a fast‑break opportunity.
A Deep Bench Fuels the Surge
Five players reached double figures, with freshman forward Vaugh Karvala leading the way with 16 points, while junior guard Darren Harris added 15 off the bench and sophomore forward Trent Sisley contributed 13. Freshmen Markus Burton, Aiden Sherrel, Jaeden Mustaf and senior Bryce Lindsay also contributed to the scoring mix.
Coach Darian DeVries praised the team’s speed and depth, noting that eight different starters have seen action across the three tournament games, a factor that could prove decisive as the roster settles into a regular‑season rhythm.
With a championship on the horizon, the Hoosiers aim to translate this early dominance into a strong start to the upcoming season, using the international experience to cement chemistry and set the tone for future play.
