No. 3 Indiana runs routs Mississippi Valley State 85-52 OG Anunoby wasn't a factor when No.3 Indiana lost in overtime at IPFW The sophomore played only 13 minutes, leaving because of an illness -- and leaving the Hoosiers (4-1) without one of their best, most relied on playmakers. "I don't think any of us understood how sick he was, because he didn't even practice again until part of the time on Friday," Indiana coach Tom Crean said. "But the bottom line is, we didn't have the right edge (against IPFW)." On Sunday night, the Hoosiers had that edge, and they were led by a healthy Anunoby. He scored a career-high 21 points and had eight rebounds, leading the Hoosiers to an 85-52 victory over Mississippi Valley State.
