The Mad Ants outshot the Wolves (4-1) 48.8 to 45.5 percent in the game and outrebounded the visitors 50-42. Indiana did a lot of damage from the free throw line, draining 16-of-18 attempts, while the Wolves went 6-for-12 from the charity stripe.

Six players scored in double figures for the Mad Ants, led by 24 points by De’Vion Harmon and 22 from Jahlil Okafor. Purdue alum Dakota Mathias recorded the lone double-double for Indiana, posting 17 points and 11 rebounds.
