Things Go Wright for No. 7 Indiana

Bracey Wright made his first six shots Monday night and never stopped shooting.

Wright scored 31 points, four short of the school’s freshman record in a game, and led No. 7 Indiana to a 73-56 victory over Vanderbilt (5-2) at Bloomington, Ind.

“Whenever you have a freshman out there scoring 30 points and making it look as easy as he did, you’re just glad he’s on your team,” point guard Tom Coverdale said.

Wright made five three-point baskets, and had five rebounds and five assists.
