No. 13 Indiana pulls away from Southeast Missouri St. 83-55

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) – Robert Johnson had 17 points and seven rebounds and De’Ron Davis added 14 points to help No. 13 Indiana rout Southeast Missouri State 83-55 on Sunday.

The Hoosiers (7-1) have won four straight, all in the last seven days.

Denzel Mahoney led Southeast Missouri State (4-4) with 16 points, and Antonius Cleveland had 13.

Indiana took advantage of Southeast Missouri State’s early shooting struggles to jump to a 17-2 lead. After the Redhawks closed to 26-21 late in the half, Indiana closed it on a 13-5 run then opened the second half on an 11-4 spurt to make it 50-30 with 15:51 to play.

The Redhawks never seriously challenged again.

Indiana won despite committing 18 turnovers, going 7 of 20 on 3-pointers and playing without starting forward OG Anunoby (ankle) for the second straight game.

Southeast Missouri State shot a season-low 31.3 percent from the field, went more than 8 minutes in the second half without a basket and finished with its lowest point total this season.
