By Ryan Winn

Behind closed doors, Matt Roth has been shooting lights out. Now, everyone can see the deep shooting touch that made the junior guard an IU fan favorite is back. Roth doubled his 3-pointer total in the IU men's basketball team's 102-60 victory against South Carolina State alone, knocking down 4-of-5 from deep on his way to a season-high 14 points Sunday in Assembly Hall. "I've been doing that everyday, whether I'm working on my own or in practice," Roth said of his sharp shooting.

IU mows down SIUE, 88-54

By Ryan Winn

The way things started Friday, Derek Elston and Christian Watford could have beaten SIUE by themselves. The sophomore forwards combined for 26 first-half points while the Cougars (2-10) were held without a field goal for the first 13 minutes and just 20 points in the first half in a 88-54 IU (8-2) victory in Assembly Hall. Elston, who started his second consecutive game, led the early romp with seven of the Hoosiers' first 11 points, and IU's lead grew as large as 24-0 before a pair of SIUE free throws broke the shutout. "If you coach in enough games, you see everything," Crean said of the quick start.

That contention will only grow louder when the Hoosiers take on Southern Illinois-Edwardsville on Friday to kick off the IBN Las Vegas Classic in Assembly Hall. SIUE (2-9) is currently ranked No.
