Indiana's hot shooting secures 90-80 victory over Washington

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Indiana used some hot outside shooting from unlikely sources to beat Washington 90-80 Sunday night in Bloomington.

Tayton Conerway made all four of his three-point attempts and scored 18 of his 20 points in the opening half. The Huskies also dared Conor Enright to shoot, and he responded by making a couple of threes and scoring 12 points to go with his nine assists.

Lamar Wilkerson picked things up in the second half, leading the Hoosiers with 20 points while Trent Sisley, a freshman from Santa Claus, Indiana, had all 12 of his points after the break.

"Tayton getting us off to a great start there in the first half with them in a little bit of a triangle and two," said head coach Darian DeVries. "He goes four-for-four from three. Conor hit a couple in there, as well.

"In the second half I thought a combination of Lamar and Trent really carried us there in the second half as things got a little tight. I thought they were the ones that both individually gave us a nice little burst to get it back up there again."

"It shows how much gravity Tucker and Lamar have, how great they are in practice," said DeVries of the triangle and two defense the Huskies used on Wilkerson and Tucker DeVries. "We're a deep team. I think it was great for our confidence to show we got other guys that can step up. If they want to play like that, we're going to have other guys step up every night."

IU led 52-40 at halftime and maintained a fairly comfortable lead most of the second half.

Washington was led by Hannes Steinbach with 20 points on 6-of-9 shooting.

Indiana (11-3, 2-1) has two games this week, traveling to Maryland Wednesday then coming back home for a Saturday game with Nebraska.
