Iowa City, Iowa • Indiana has proved it can beat anyone and everyone in Assembly Hall.

Take the Hoosiers out of Bloomington, though, and they’ve shown to be much less dangerous.

Iowa senior Matt Gatens scored a career-high 30 points and the Hawkeyes beat No. 18 Indiana 78-66 on Sunday, snapping the Hoosiers’ three-game winning streak.

Melsahn Basabe had 13 points and five blocks for the Hawkeyes (14-13, 6-8 Big Ten), who beat the Hoosiers in Iowa City for the seventh time in eight tries.

Freshman Cody Zeller had 15 points and 13 rebounds and Victor Oladipo added 15 points for Indiana (20-7, 8-7), which is now just a game over .500 in the Big Ten and 2-6 in league road games.

"The overall disappointment was that we didn’t rebound or block out the way we needed to," Indiana coach Tom Crean said. "We knew we’d be pressed. We knew they’d be aggressive on the glass. We didn’t attack pressure the way that we had practiced or prepared for."

Iowa jumped out to an 11-point halftime lead and pushed it to 52-33 midway through the second half. Indiana closed to 10, but Gatens responded with four crucial 3s to guide the Hawkeyes to the easy victory.

No. 2 Syracuse 74, Rutgers 64 • C.J. Fair scored a career-high 21 points and Scoop Jardine added 17, including a dagger 3-pointer with 1:11 to play, as the visiting Orange escaped with another close victory.

No. 5 Duke 75, Boston College 50 • Seth Curry scored 18 points, and Duke didn’t need another late rally as it cruised past host BC behind a smothering defense.

No. 7 Michigan State 76, Purdue 62 • Draymond Green posted 20 points and 10 rebounds, and Austin Thornton scored a career-high 17 points to lead the Spartans past short-handed Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind.

No. 15 Wisconsin 65, Penn State 55 • Josh Gasser scored 15 points as the host Badgers held off Penn State to win for the eighth time in 10 games.
