A Dominant Run in Peru
The Indiana University men's basketball squad is set to close out its participation in the FISU America Games with a showdown against the Virgin Islands on Tuesday afternoon, a 4 p.m. Eastern tip‑off that will be streamed live on YouTube. The Hoosiers have entered the tournament as the clear favorite, having posted wins in each of their first four contests by margins that often exceeded 30 points.
Coach Dan McCaffrey’s men have turned the competition into a showcase of depth, with five players averaging double‑digit scoring. Junior big man Aiden Sherrell is delivering 16 points and seven rebounds per game, while freshman wing Vaughn Karvala leads the team in scoring at 20.3 points per outing. Freshman guard Prince‑Alexander Moody adds 12.3 points and 4.6 rebounds, and sophomore Trent Sisley contributes 10.6 points per game.
What Comes Next
After the final in Lima, the team will board a late‑night flight out of Peru, giving the players a brief respite before they reconvene for the first fall exhibition on Sunday, October 11, when they host Butler at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The upcoming game will mark the start of a new chapter for a roster that has been unchallenged throughout the month in Peru.
