Ohio State beats Indiana, stays undefeated

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.

William Buford scored 24 points, and No. 2 Ohio State made 13 of 19 3-pointers, pulling away from Indiana for an 85-67 victory Friday.

The Buckeyes (14-0, 1-0 Big Ten) have won eight straight road games — their longest such streak since winning nine in a row from 1970-72. And for the first time in school history, the Buckeyes have won three consecutive games at Assembly Hall. Ohio State hadn’t won three straight in Bloomington since 1968-70, before the current arena opened.

Ohio State did it with flair, too, shooting 60.5 percent from the field and tied the record for most 3s by an opponent at Assembly Hall. Northwestern made 13 last season in Bloomington.

Christian Watford scored 17 points for Indiana (9-6, 0-2), which has lost four straight and two in a row at home.

Jared Sullinger had 19 points for Ohio State.
