Indiana men’s basketball is set to take on UCLA this afternoon at the Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles, the Hoosiers’ first trip to the City of Angels since UCLA and USC joined the Big Ten.
They’ll do so a bit shorthanded, per the league’s pregame availability report. Tayton Conerway, a key starter in the Hoosiers’ backcourt, is listed as out. Jason Drake and Josh Harris, who’ve been out for the duration of the season, are also listed as out.
Conerway suffered a right ankle injury during Indiana’s game
against Iowa, but later returned to that game. He played sparingly in the next two games, just two minutes at Michigan before playing 16 at Rutgers. He didn’t see action during the win over rival Purdue this past Tuesday. Notably, he was listed as questionable for all three games before now being listed as out.
Indiana will likely run the same starting lineup it did against Purdue with Conor Enright at point guard, Lamar Wilkerson at shooting guard, Nick Dorn at small forward, Tucker DeVries at power forward and likely Sam Alexis at center. Reed Bailey could see more time at center after an impressive performance against the Boilermakers.
