entry by Carl - Feb. 23, 2025, 9:46 a.m.:

Sophomore Andrew Abler will be on the bump for Harvard. He had decent numbers out of the bullpen last season. 15.1 innings across nine appearances with a 4.70 ERA and a respectable 1.43 WHIP. He strikes out one in five batters he faces, but walks almost as many. Opposing hitters only hit .170 against Abler, so most of his baserunners got on via walks. As the Hoosiers (especially with Andrew Wiggins in the lineup) work walks very well, a key for Indiana will be finding the big hit to drive in runs.


entry by Carl - Feb. 23, 2025, 9:48 a.m.:

Cole Gilley is coming off a fantastic start last week and again will hope to go deep to preserve the core bullpen arms for Monday and Tuesday.
