Meanwhile, after a string of four wins, Indiana's good fortune finally ran out on Saturday. They were dealt a punishing 104-76 defeat at the hands of the Tigers. Indiana didn't live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.

Despite their loss, Indiana saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Gabe Cupps, who scored 11 points along with five rebounds, was perhaps the best of all. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Cupps has scored all season. Kel'el Ware was another key contributor, scoring 13 points along with eight rebounds.

The Jayhawks' win was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 9-1.
