Wilkerson missed his first five shots before catching fire. As they say, it’s not how you start, but how you finish that matters.
The Hoosiers improved to 17-8, including 8-6 in the Big Ten. They handed the Ducks their 10th straight loss, falling to 8-6. Oregon has just one win in 11 Big Ten assignments.
Wilkerson, who transferred to Indiana this year, continues to see his stock rise with his high-profile feats. In December, he scored a career-high 44 points against Penn State, setting the school record for most 3-pointers in a single game with 10.
While not as highly touted as Kansas’ Darrin Peterson and BIU’s AJ Dibants, Wilkerson can definitely hold his own and attract NBA attention. Indiana coach Darian DeVries made a bold prediction that Wilkerson will play in the NBA “for a long, long time,” as quoted by Daniel Flick of Sports Illustrated.
Wilkerson, who hit the free throws against Wisconsin on Saturday, was recently named the Player of the Week along with Iowa’s Bennett Stirtz.
The 6-foot-6 guard is averaging 20.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals.
Indiana will return to action on Sunday against No. 8 Illinois.
