Indiana Hoosiers @ Michigan Wolverines
No. 3 Michigan blitzes and beats Indiana 86-72 for 3rd straight win, handing Hoosiers 4th L in a row
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- — Elliot Cadeau scored 10 of his 19 points in the opening minutes of the first half and Yaxel Lendeborg had 13 of 15 points in the second half, leading No. 3 Michigan to an 86-72 win over Indiana on Tuesday night.
The Wolverines (17-1, 7-1 Big Ten) led by 17 points midway through the first half and by 25 points in the second half of a game that wasn't in doubt after a one-sided start.
The Hoosiers (12-7, 3-5) began by missing 14 of 15 shots and finished with a fourth straight loss under first-year coach Darian DeVries.
Indiana's Tucker DeVries scored 15, Nick Dorn had 14 points, Sam Alexis and Reed Bailey scored 11 points apiece.
Lamar Wilkerson was held to a season-low eight points on 3 of 10 shooting after averaging nearly 24 points in previous Big Ten games for the Hoosiers.
Michigan is known for its offense in Dusty May's second season — averaging 93 points to rank among the country's highest-scoring teams — but its nationally ranked defense was also on display against Indiana.
The Hoosiers were held scoreless until Bailey made a layup 5:41 into the game and they were 0 of 10 on 3-pointers before Dorn made a shot from beyond the arc with 8:23 left in the first half.
Michigan entered the game ranked No. 2 in field-goal defense, holding opponents to 36% shooting, and Lendeborg was closely guarding the Hoosiers on the perimeter and helping on the interior to lead a swarming scheme.
Aday Mara scored 13 and Trey McKenney had 10 for the Wolverines.
Indiana visits Rutgers on Friday night.
Michigan hosts Ohio State on Friday night.
