BLOOMINGTON -

Matt Roth, Jordan Hulls and Christian Watford led a 3-point barrage in the second half that carried No. 17 Indiana to an 89-47 win over Maryland-Baltimore County on Thursday night.

The Hoosiers shot 69 percent (9 of 13) from long range after intermission to bounce back from a 14 percent (2 of 14) performance from long range in the first half.

Indiana (12-0), which came in as the No. 1 team in the country in 3-point field goal percentage at 47 percent, shot 35 percent (9 of 26) from the field overall in the first half.

But the Hoosiers outscored the Retrievers (1-10) 52-24 in the second half and forced 21 turnovers to cruise to victory before opening the Big Ten season at Michigan State on Wednesday.
