Northern Kentucky 92, IUPUI 77: Drew McDonald had his seventh double-double of the season and Tyler Sharpe scored 16 points to help Northern Kentucky beat IUPUI in the Horizon League opener for both teams.

McDonald hit a 3-pointer to spark a 20-4 run that made it 36-20 when Paul Djoko hit two foul shots with 3:41 left in the first half. IUPUI, which missed six consecutive shots and committed four turnovers during that stretch, trailed by double figures the rest of the way.

Jaylen Minnett led IUPUI (8-6) with 14 points on 5-of-17 shooting. Camron Justice added 12 points, nine below his season average.

NKU scored 26 points off 16 Jaguars turnovers.

Horizon League: There may not be a clear favorite here, but leading the way would appear to be Green Bay, IUPUI, Northern Kentucky and Wright State. Only NKU has a great record, but they have all had some tests aside from the two non-Division I wins each one has.

NKU is off to a 10-3 start and two of those losses are to potential tournament teams in Cincinnati and UCF. The Norse are in a position to repeat as Horizon regular-season champs.

Drew McDonald's quiet brilliance was rewarded last season when the Norse stole the Horizon from Wright State. Now, his expected excellence leaves them in the hunt once again. He's averaging 18.3 points and 9.5 rebounds per game for NKU as it barrels towards a potential second consecutive Horizon crown. It'd be an incredible achievement considering it just joined the league beginning in the 2015-16 season. -- KB

Who Will Be College Basketball's Breakout Stars in 2019?--Sports Illustrated
Antoine Davis, Detroit

The son of Detroit head coach Mike Davis has started his college career in stunning fashion, averaging 27.4 points through his first 10 games and shooting 44% from three-point range. While the Titans are not an expressly good team, Davis’ early-season performances are begging for your attention, and come in spite of the fact he stands just 6’1”, 170. Perhaps he’s due for regression…but perhaps not.
