Indiana Bests Northwestern in Double Overtime, 79-76

EVANSTON, Ill. -- Aljami Durham and Armaan Franklin refused to lose.

Specifically, Indiana's veteran guards refused to let Indiana lose, and that made all the difference Wednesday night against reeling Northwestern.

"We needed it more," Durham said.

Durham and Franklin each had career highs in the 79-76, two-overtime victory that boosted the Hoosiers to 11-8 overall, 6-6 in the Big Ten.

That gave them a two-game winning streak for the first time since early January, and what it lacked in offensive artistry it made up for in tenacity.
