COLLEGE BASKETBALL NATIONAL ROUNDUP : Indiana Wins With an Explosive Knight

A technical foul called early in the first-half against Coach Bob Knight provided Indiana with the push it needed Friday night against Ohio University.

The No. 5 Hoosiers (12-1) harassed the Bobcats (6-4) for 6 1/2 minutes after the technical, and the result was a 19-2 run that produced a 102-64 victory in the championship game of the Hoosier tournament at Indianapolis.

It was the 10th consecutive victory for Indiana, which won its own tournament for the ninth consecutive season.

Calbert Cheaney and Eric Anderson each scored 21 points for Indiana.
