In the only important sporting event of the night, the Indiana Hoosiers had a solid, albeit unspectacular 98-65 win over visiting Hope College. After some jittery nerves in the early moments led to some sloppy turnovers and an early deficit, the talent disparity between D-III Hope College and #11 Indiana showed itself halfway through the first half, and the Hoosiers kicked into gear and never looked back.
The game stayed relatively close for awhile as Hope was only down 8 points shortly into the second half. Then everything seemed to click, and the rest of the game went according to plan.
