Indiana has also won 28 consecutive home games against non-conference foes dating to 2009.

Guard Greg Gantt, whose average of 21.5 points ranks among top 10 nationally, scored 23 but shot 8 of 25. FAU will be without G Stefan Moody, who averaged 15ppg. He’s suspended until Dec. 29 due to a violation of team rules. While the Hoosiers are the highest-scoring team in the country with 89.2 points per game, they’re also holding opponents to an average of just 59.9 on 36.3 percent shooting. They’ll roll with ease in this one.
