Luke Goode's clutch 3-pointer despite a foul helped Indiana secure an 82-69 victory over USC. Goode finished with 16 points, including 4-for-5 shooting from beyond the arc, and played a crucial role in the Hoosiers' win.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The loudest roar from the Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall crowd Wednesday night against USC came after Luke Goode hit a corner 3-pointer despite being fouled.
His Indiana career got off to a slow start. Goode made just 6-of-21 3-point attempts, or 28.5%, in his first seven games. But since being inserted into the starting lineup, he has begun to thrive. Is it the changes he’s made to his shot? More offensive spacing without Reneau? Just part of being a shooter? Goode says it's a bit of everything. Coaches have harped to him that water will find its level, and his own confidence has never wavered, Goode said. When he gets his feet set with an open look, it’s going up.
The book is called Mind Gym: An Athlete’s Guide to Inner Excellence by Gary Mack with David Casstevens. It also includes a foreword from former MLB star Alex Rodriguez. Goode said the book preaches clearing one’s mind, and it’s played a role in his recent success. Ballo has more space to operate on post-ups inside or in the pick-and-roll game with Trey Galloway and Myles Rice. Reneau’s injury was concerning at first, given that he was Indiana’s leading scorer at 14.1 points per game. But Indiana hasn’t skipped a beat; it has arguably improved.
