BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Robert Johnson scored 17 points and Juwan Morgan scored all eight points in the second half to lead the Indiana Hoosiers past Northwestern 66-46 on Sunday.
Indiana (11-7, 4-2 Big Ten) took advantage of an 18-0 spurt in the second half to win its third straight.
Vic Law and Isiah Brown each had nine points to lead the Wildcats (11-8, 2-4), who have lost three of four. And this loss may have been the worst yet.
Northwestern shot 26.8 percent from the field, barely avoiding a season low, and was outplayed in virtually every facet.
The Hoosiers, meanwhile, fought through the loss of Morgan to foul trouble for almost the entire first half. When he returned in the second half, it didn’t take the Hoosiers long to start pulling away.
Indiana quickly extended a 24-19 halftime lead to nine before following the lead of Morgan and Johnson, who combined for the first 12 points in the big run that turned a 33-26 contest into a 53-26 blowout.
Northwestern never challenged again.
