The Hoosiers completed a regular season sweep of Penn State with a 72-49 win on Wednesday night in Assembly Hall. Indiana has now won five straight over the Nittany Lions. The win moved Indiana, now 5-1 in the conference, to just a half game back of Michigan State, which visits Bloomington on Sunday.
Here’s a look at five takeaways from IU’s comfortable win:
· Yogi Ferrell built confidence early and sustained it all evening: Tasked with running the nation’s No. 1 team to begin the season, it hasn’t always been easy this season offensively for Ferrell, a McDonald’s All-American. But the freshman point guard continues to improve as the conference slate rolls along and Wednesday night was perhaps the most assertive we’ve seen him in terms of looking to score the ball. ”I was just taking what the defense was really giving me,” Ferrell said afterward. “Victor found me and Christian [Watford] in the second half a lot and I was open so I was going to shoot the ball.” He finished with a car...

For the last three games, many of the stories written about Indiana basketball have focused on the Hoosiers’ lack of bench production. For a team expected to be so deep in the preseason, the Hoosiers have struggled to get much offense out of players other than their starters during the Big Ten season.
And while the bench as a whole still had some problems in No. 7 Indiana’s 72...

Indiana took care of business at home last night, upending the Penn State Nittany Lions and holding them under 50 points. Most impressive was Indiana’s ability to jump out early in both halves, as the 2nd half especially has been problematic for Indiana in recent games.
However, this win was not without its question marks.
Cody Zeller turned in perhaps the worst offensive performance...

I. When Indiana is making 3-pointers like it did on Wednesday night, few teams in the country, if any, are beating the Hoosiers. Especially at Assembly Hall. After connecting on 5-of-12 attempts from distance in the first half, Indiana came out firing on all cylinders in the second half. The Hoosiers hit their first six 3-point attempts...

Despite Cody Zeller’s worst offensive performance of his college career, in which he failed to cash in a single field goal and had a total of two points, the Hoosiers instead relied on suffocating team defense in a dominating 72-49 victory over Penn State at Assembly Hall on Wednesday night.
The Nittany Lions only scored on 17 of their 51 field goal attempts (33.3%), and Indiana...
