No. 23 Indiana 89, North Florida 68:
Yogi Ferrell scored 14 points and dished out seven assists to lead a
balanced Hoosiers attack in a home win over the Ospreys.
Evan Gordon had a season-high 15
points on 7-of-9 shooting off the bench for Indiana (7-2). Noah
Vonleh added 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Hoosiers, who won the
board battle 49-40.
North Florida (5-6) was paced by
a career-high 27 points from Dallas Moore, who hit 4-of-5 from 3-point
range. Travis Wallace, the Ospreys' leading scorer, finished 2-of-8
from the field for four points but grabbed 11 rebounds.
Indiana scored the first five
points and gradually pulled away with the lead hitting
13 with just over 12 minutes to play in the first half. The Ospreys
fought back to within four with just under nine minutes left until the break, but a 14-0
Hoosiers' run upped the advantage to 20 before it settled at 17 at the
break.
It was more of the same in the
second half, with Indiana going on a 17-2 run to take a 30-point lead
midway through the stanza. The Hoosiers kept the offensive onslaught
going, though they just missed reaching the 90-point plateau for the
fifth time this season.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Moore also was held to four points in the Ospreys' previous game against Alabama. …
Will Sheehey continued his cold shooting, bringing his three-game
shooting totals to 7-of-22 from the field. … Indiana grabbed more
offensive rebounds than its opponent for the ninth time this season.
