‘A force’: Samet Yigitolu can positively impact IU basketball in a multitude of ways
Indiana center Samet Yigitolu didn’t take long to assert himself in a 90-66 win against Tennessee Tech on Thursday. In each of Indiana’s first three possessions, Yigitoglu used his 7-foot-2, 270-pound frame to find easy success at the rim in a different way. On the first, he rolled to the rim and laid it in off the catch. The second, a two-handed dunk on a cut to the rim from a bounce pass. The third, he backed his defender down from the elbow to the rim and finished a hook shot.
