Indiana began each half with a massive run and coasted to a 73-49 victory over visiting Gardner-Webb in the Hoosier Invitational on Monday.
The Hoosiers (5-0) seized command right away, scoring 11 straight points as part of a 21-5 burst to start the game. The Bulldogs (2-3) rallied to within eight on a pair of occasions during the first half, but Indiana iced it by opening the second period with another 25-6 run to make it 59-29 with 9:21 to go.
Gardner-Webb was held to 36.7 percent shooting (18-for-49) and made only six of its 22 3-point attempts.
