Utah is set to face Indiana State in the NIT semifinals. Can the Utes' win over BYU this season help prepare them for the Sycamores?

Utah Utes guard Gabe Madsen looks for an open man, as Iowa Hawkeyes guard Tony Perkins defends, in NIT Second Round action at the Jon M. Huntsman Center, on Sunday, March 24, 2024.

The Runnin’ Utes face the Sycamores on Tuesday at 5 p.m. in the famed Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, a matchup that will be televised on ESPN. The Sycamores feature three players that shoot at least 40% from the 3-point line, and shoot 38.3% as team —said. “They shot the three-point well. So that’s a lot of emphasis for us and something that we really had to dial into is defending the three.

Indiana State’s comp is Robbie Avila, who scores 17.3 points per game, shoots nearly 39% from the 3-point line, averages four assists per game, and has nicknames like Cream Abdul-Jabbar, College Jokic and Milk Chamberlain. Avila isn’t even Indiana State’s best 3-point shooter. Ryan Conwell, Julian Larry and Masen Miller all shoot above 40%.
