Indiana shattered a 53-year-old record and smashed Kentuckyâs worn-down opposition in the All-Star Classic series opener at Freedom Hall.
With five double-figure scorers, Indiana rolled to a 114-60 triumph on Friday night, the largest margin in the 120-game series history. The previous was 37 points in 1960, a 101-64 Indiana victory.
Notre Dame recruit V.J. Beachem went 9 for 9 and scored 22 points to lead the Hoosier assault. Indiana came up one basket shy of the record 116 points it scored in 2000, but it did extend its dominance in the series to 88-42 with its 17th win in the last 18 games.
âObviously we werenât expecting that kind of a margin,â Indiana coach Scott Heady said.
The game spiraled out of control for Kentucky in the second half, as Indiana went on a 19-2 run for a 68-37 lead with 13:30 left.
âEverything kind of snowballed,â Kentucky coach Allen Feldhaus Jr. said. âWeâre not making excuses. Theyâre good. They shouldnât be 50 points better than us. Weâll try to regroup and do a little better.â
Fatigue was an issue for Kentucky, with UK recruits Dominique Hawkins and Derek Willis shuttling back and forth between workouts on campus and limited practices with the All-Stars. Willis had 18 points and Hawkins 13. Kentucky also missed Boston College signee Darryl Hicks, who sat out with an injury.
âWe looked tired,â Feldhaus said. âLetâs be honest, we had them one day all week. They gave a great effort, but itâs hard to run a team when you donât have all your players. ... You could see it coming.â
Indiana had no issues. Mr. Basketball Zak Irvin, scoreless in the first half, finished with 14. Bryson Scott also had 14 points and Clay Yeo 12. Indiana shot a brisk 59.5 percent and dominated the boards 50-25.
âThey kept their intensity and stayed unselfish,â Heady said. âThatâs great to see. We have some big-time players willing to sacrifice for the good of the team. We defended well and that got us going early. We were good inside.â
Kentucky had few highlights and no statistics to build upon for the rematch tonight in Indianapolis. It had 25 turnovers and shot 31.7 percent.
âI donât think it could get any worse,â Feldhaus said.
Kentucky hit only two 3-point shots while Indiana was 13 of 22. Beachem was 4 for 4.
âI was just trying to play hard and share the ball,â Beachem said. âEverybody was getting easy shots, and I was able to knock mine down.â
