BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Indiana is done messing around. After two years of blown leads, tough losses to mediocre teams and frustration in the Big Ten, the Hoosiers blew out Northwestern to push their winning streak to 12 games. Unlike years past, Northwestern was outplayed offensively and defensively as Indiana showed why it is at the top of the Big Ten.
From the opening tip, Indiana eviscerated Northwestern’s "Chameleon" defense. Indiana went on a 10-0 run to open the game and took Northwestern’s complex 2-3 zone/man defense apart. Robert Johnson, Collin Hartman and Nick Zeisloft shot open threes at will.
