It was a record setting night for Yogi Ferrell. The senior guard passed Michael Lewis to become the record holder for assists in an Indiana uniform after a beautiful pass inside to Max Bielfeldt in the first half.
He would go on to have nine, along with 16 points, as IU beat Illinois 103-69 Tuesday night at Assembly Hall.
“That’s a great honor,” Ferrell said. “I played with a lot of great guys coming up: Victor Oladipo, Cody Zeller, Jordan Hulls, Christian Watford, that’s what I like to be. I like to be a facilitator for my team, and I feel like I’ve gotten to have known my teammates very well all four years, the guys that are coming in here, in and out.
