At the buzzer: Indiana 85, Northern Illinois 49

Quick thoughts on an 85-49 win over Northern Illinois:

How it happened: Northern Illinois came into Bloomington riding high off of a 71-64 season-opening win at Washington Tuesday night. But their confidence would quickly be squashed by a focused Indiana team playing just its second regular-season game under Mike Woodson. Indiana came out hot from the perimeter, knocking in four of its first seven 3-point attempts. By the 9:41 mark of the first half, Indiana led 22-9 on a Trey Galloway layup off a nice feed from Michael Durr. The offense would hum along for most of the first half as Indiana built a 27-point cushion by intermission.
