Brandon McGee hits a 3-pointer in the final seconds. IU wins 75-63 after holding the Wildcats to a single field goal for a significant stretch in the second half. Much like the Penn State game, IU let the Wildcats hang around for most of the game before pulling away late.
Eric Gordon hits a free throw to extend the Hoosier lead. Gordon has 25 points today to go along with White's 24. A good day for IU's talented two.
66-54@4:00
---
D.J. White goes to the free throw line and converts to give IU a double digit lead. The Wildcats have scored one basket in the last three minutes.
62-52@5:38
---
Bassett drives to the hoop to put IU up six with nine minutes in the game.
56-50@9:02
---
A backdoor cut by Coble leads to a basket and an Ellis foul. The Wildcats are running the Princeton offense perfectly today. Time out.
52-50@11:44
---
On a fastbreak, Micheal Thompson pulls up and drains a floater. Tough shot. D.J. White records his 19th and 20th points inside. Another great game for White on offense.
52-48@11:52
---
The crowd reacts negatively as Ellis is called for a travel after a scrum for the rebound. Coble hits a jumper for the Wildcats.
48-44@13:24
---
After IU appears to get away with goal tending, Gordon is fouled on the floor. Bassett scores on a drive after the inbounds.
48-42@14:48
---
After a poor shot by Gordon, Moore brings the Wildcats within two on a layup. Stemler comes in for Ellis.
44-42@16:46
---
Moore hits a turnaround jumper as the shot clock expires, but White completes an alley-oop from Gordon on the other end.
44-39@18:01
---
An Ellis turnover leads to a quick layup in the closing seconds of the game. IU, much like the crowd here on this Sunday afternoon, appears lethargic. They will have to defend the Wildcats better and pick up their intensity to put this game away. The Wildcats are 7-of-9 from behind the arc.
40-37@HALFTIME
---
Craig Moore leads the Wildcats with 10 points, but the offensive attack has been pretty balanced. Just about every Wildcat can hit the outside shot, and they all are today.
38-35@1:00
---
Gordon hits his fifth 3-pointer of the half. NU scores quickly on the other end.
38-32@1:26
---
DeAndre Thomas gets into scoring position, but can't convert, a sequence reminiscent of the UConn game. Ratliff has seen some significant court time this game as has Taber, who has probably doubled his playing time for the entire season this half. He has recorded a block and created a turnover, but that's about it.
35-30@2:35
---
A.J. Ratliff hits a 3-pointer from the corner, but NU's Nash answers.
32-27@4:55
---
D.J. has eights points and six rebounds in the first ten minutes of the game. The Wildcats record their first rebound.
25-22@8:38
---
Crawford heads into the locker room. Not really sure why. Northwestern has yet to grab a rebound, but they're making everything. Back-to-back 3s by the Wildcats make the score 25-22 Hoosiers. Timeout.
25-22@9:57
---
Gordon gets hacked on a drive to the basket and will shoot two. The Wildcats have been keeping pace on offense. Not much defense being played by either team.
19-14@12:10
---
A 3-pointer by Kevin Coble pulls the Wildcats within a point, but a D.J. White putback brings the score to 13-10. Stemler enters the game for Taber.
---
The Hoosiers try to break the Wildcats 2-1-2 zone with quick ball movement. Mike says Gordon is on pace for 40 3-pointers after connecting on his first three 3-point attempts.
11-5@16:00
---
Back-to-back baskets by DJ and EJ get things going for the Hoosiers.
5-2@17:50

Starters for IU: Gordon, Ellis, Bassett, Kyle Taber and D.J. White
The coaches of both teams are donning sneakers to draw attention to the fight against cancer as part of the Coaches vs. Cancer initiative.
(And Taber is starting. That's not a typo.)

Will IU get back on the winning track today? After two consecutive losses, the Hoosiers are minutes away from their game against the Northwestern Wildcats. The Wildcats enter the game winless in the Big Ten and next to last in the conference in both scoring offense and scoring defense.
