Dec. 22, 2016
• Indiana's 26-game home winning streak is the fifth longest streak in program history and is the fourth longest active streak in the nation.
• Josh Newkirk notched his first career double-double, netting 11 points and dropping a career-high 11 dimes. His 11 assists were the most since Yogi Ferrell's 11 on 2/15/15 against Minnesota.
• For the second consecutive contest, the Hoosiers were on fire from the floor, knocking down 35-of-56 shots (62.5 percent).
• The Hoosiers have shot 60 percent or better in each of their last two games. The last time they achieved that was 12/20/98 vs. San Francisco (.667) and 12/27/98 vs. Drake (.600).
• The 15 made 3-point field goals was the most since IU knocked down 15 in the season opener against Kansas. It is the ninth time in the Crean era they have made at least 15 3-point field goals in a game.
• Tonight was the 17th time in the Crean era that the Hoosiers have shot at least 60 percent from the floor.
• OG Anunoby filled the stat sheet with seven points, five rebounds, a steal, a block and an assist.
• Thomas Bryant scored eight points, including an emphatic transition dunk, while grabbing four rebounds.
• IU out-rebounded Austin Peay 35-24. The Hoosiers have held the rebounding edge in every game this season outside of the UNC game (tied at 37 per team). Indiana owns the best rebounding margin in the country, outworking opponents by 14.7 boards a game.

• Robert Johnson was just shy of his career-high, dropping in 20 points. Johnson drilled a career best six 3-pointers. The six made 3-pointers are the most by an IU player since James Blackemon made six against Alcorn State on 11/30/15.
• De'Ron Davis set a new career-high mark with five assists. Davis also chipped in four points and a career-high seven rebounds.
