Owen Freeman scored 19 points to lead five Creighton players in double figures, and the No. 23 Bluejays started the season with a 92-76 victory over South Dakota on Wednesday night.

Indiana coach Darian DeVries rekindled some old memories Wednesday night by patrolling the Assembly Hall sideline in a crimson-colored Adidas quarter-zip, his son dressed in the traditional cream tank top and shorts with no name on the back. From the completely revamped roster to the Hoosiers up-tempo style, their strong 3-point shooting performance to a harassing defense, DeVries' debut had hopeful Indiana fans thinking it was a smash hit. The DeVries family couldn't have asked for anything more.

Reed Bailey opened his Indiana career by scoring 21 points and Lamar Wilkerson added 19 points and four 3-pointers to lead the Hoosiers past Alabama A&M 98-51 on Wednesday night in the first game under new coach Darian DeVries. DeVries has won three straight season openers at three different schools and this one again came with the help of his son, Tucker, a two-time Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year at Drake. Sam Alexis had 17 points and eight rebounds as the Hoosiers, who had no scorers returning from last season's team, had five players finish with double-digit scoring totals.

Here's a look at how the top freshmen in the 2025-26 recruiting class fared in their college basketball debuts:

Duke coach Jon Scheyer offered a challenge to star recruit Cameron Boozer at halftime of the Blue Devils' season opener Tuesday night against Texas, bluntly telling the 6-foot-9 freshman forward phenom that he was “playing soft.” Boozer got the message — and then proceeded to take over the game. After failing to score in the first half, Boozer rallied to finish with 15 points and 13 rebounds — 10 of those after halftime — as the sixth-ranked Blue Devils overcame a 33-32 halftime deficit to beat Texas 75-60 in the Dick Vitale Invitational at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte.

Boozer, the son of former Duke star Carlos Boozer, made his presence felt in the second half getting to the foul line 12 times and converting nine free throws.

Purdue has won 33 consecutive non-conference home games — this one despite playing without preseason all-conference forward Trey Kaufman-Renn.
