Jalen Hood-Schifino has a monster first half for IU basketball against Ohio State

Things are going pretty well for the Indiana basketball team against Ohio State in the first half on Saturday.

One of the big reasons why IU leads 46-30 at halftime is freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino's 20 points. Hood-Schifino made 7-of-9 shots from the floor and 6-of-7 from 3-point range. At one point, Hood-Schifino made five straight 3-pointers.
