Sisley's Freshman Year: A Look at Indiana's Future

0:00On March 25, Indiana men's basketball wrapped up Darian DeVries' first season without an NCAA tournament bid. The Hoosiers ended with 18 wins and 14 losses overall, going 9-11 in Big Ten Play. A late season slump dashed their March Managed Chances. Freshman Ford Trensysly showed promise off the bench after a strong senior year at Monverde Academy. There, he thrived as a spot-up shooter and cutter against top competition, with teammates finding him in open spaces, the Big Ten brought tougher defenses and less room to operate. Sysly took nearly half his shots at the rim and almost as many from beyond the three-point line, focusing his scoring where it needed to be. His efficiency lagged as a rookie, making under 30% of threes and 60% inside. That's common for freshmen adjusting to college ball and more development time should boost those marks. DeVries and the staff see Sys' upside as a key piece moving forward, setting the state age for a stronger run next season.
