Indiana Basketball improved to 8-0 with an 80-64 victory over #17/19 Florida State (7-2) in the 21st annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
Indiana is off to its best start since it beginning the season 9-0 in the 2012-13 season.
The game marked the fifth-straight year that IU has faced a ranked team in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge and seventh out of the last eight.
The Hoosiers are now 8-11 in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge and 5-0 all-time against Florida State. This was their first meeting in the Challenge.
This is head coach Archie Miller's sixth win against a ranked team while at IU. The victory gives the Hoosiers three-straight wins against ranked opponents at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Miller is now 11-3 during the month of December with the Hoosiers.

Indiana came into the game leading the nation in free throws made per game (21.0) and free throw attempts per game (29.0). The Hoosiers put up 38 and made 23 on Tuesday night.
Senior guard Devonte Green hit three straight 3-pointers over the course of a 10-2 IU run late in the first half. Green has converted multiple 3-point tries in four out of five games. He has made at least three in three games this season.
After Florida State cut the lead to three with 8:17 left in the game the Hoosiers went on a 13-2 run, capped off by a 3-pointer from sophomore forward Damezi Anderson that forced a timeout with 3:23 remaining. The Hoosiers have yet to trail in the second half this season.
