No. 17/18 Indiana Defeats Howard Bison, 107-50

BLOOMINGTON, Indiana -- Indiana coach Tom Crean was worried about his players' focus Monday night. Turns out, there was no reason to be concerned.

With the Hoosiers trying to protect a second straight Top 25 ranking and become the first Indiana team to go 11-0 since the unbeaten national champs of 1975-76, Indiana actually did something even Bob Knight's first title team did not --win a game by 57 points.

The 17th-ranked Hoosiers had six players score in double figures, matched a season-high with 11 3-pointers and rolled to the second-most lopsided victory in school history, 107-50 over Howard.



"Our guys were on it," Crean said. "They were ready to play, excited to play and excited to join some elite company. When there are only a few teams in the illustrious history of this program that have done something (like going 11-0), they wanted to join that group."
