INDIANA CLASSIC HISTORY: Indiana has won the previous 23 Indiana Classics. Last season the Hoosiers defeated Louisiana Tech (73-44) and Santa Clara (86-74) to win the title. Current Hoosiers Andrae Patterson and A.J. Guyton were named to the all-tournament team. Over the years this has been a tournament the Hoosiers have dominated as Indiana has won the previous 46 games by an average of 25.4 points per game. Indiana's closest game in tournament history happened in the first round of the 1986 Classic when the Hoosiers defeated UNC-Wilmington 73-72. By contrast, the largest margin of victory was a 47-point victory over Central Michigan (99-52) in the championship game of the 1991 Classic. Indiana's margin of victory has been widespread through tournament history. There have been five games decided by 10 points or less and by 40 or more points, 13 decided by 11-20 points 12 by 21-30 points and 11 by 31-40 points.
