The Hoosiers 19 points allowed in the second half was its fewest since giving up 19 last season in the first half against Liberty.

• IU finished the game with 12 second chance points on 13 offensive rebounds, and the first eight second chance points came from Juwan Morgan.
• Junior forward Juwan Morgan collected Indiana's final rebound for his second career double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds). Morgan last earned a double-double on December 2, 2016 (vs. SIU-Edwardsville).
• Morgan set a new single-game career high for free throws made (9-for-10) and tied a career-high with four blocked shots (Butler, December 2016).
