BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Lamar Wilkerson poured in 24 points, Tayton Conerway added 21, and Indiana overpowered Milwaukee 101-70 on Wednesday night.
The finish marked Indiana’s second straight game score more than 100 points, the program’s first such stretch since 2016.
Wilkerson hit five 3-pointers and sparked the Hoosiers (3-0) as they stretched a 51-39 halftime lead into full control. Conerway shot 8 of 11, dished out six assists and paced an offense that finished with 23 assists — giving Indiana 20 or more in three straight games for the first time since the 2012-13 season.
Reed Bailey added 14 points, five rebounds and five assists for the Hoosiers. Tucker DeVries posted 12 points with three steals.
Indiana shot 56.7% from the field and 50% from deep, pairing pace with steady stops. A 14-3 run out of the first media timeout pushed the margin to 64-46 after Sam Alexis converted an and-1. DeVries’ corner 3 made it 75-56 with 8:40 left, and the Hoosiers closed with a 26-14 stretch as the bench matched the starters’ efficiency.
Milwaukee (2-2) stayed in reach early behind Danilo Jovanovich’s 18 points and Seth Hubbard’s 17, but the Panthers struggled to contain Indiana’s spacing and ball movement. Milwaukee shot 46.8% overall but went just 5 of 17 from deep, committed 15 turnovers and was outscored 50-31 after halftime.
Amar Augillard added 14 points and five rebounds for the Panthers.
