The IU men's basketball team remained undefeated on Branch McCracken Court after picking up a 65-61 victory against the Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday afternoon.\nThree players scored in double figures for the Hoosiers, including senior guard Rod Wilmont, who scored 17 points on 8-for-16 shooting from the field. Freshman guard Armon Bassett tallied 15 points, five rebounds and five assists in the win and hit a layup with less than a minute remaining to put the Hoosiers up for good. \nAfter Bassett's layup, the Hoosiers capitalized on Illinois' mistakes and maintained their slim lead.

IU senior guard Earl Calloway then hit a pair of free throws with 3.8 seconds remaining to seal the victory.\nForward Warren Carter led the Illini offensive attack with 14 points, while guard Rich McBride contributed 13 -- all of which came in the first half of play.\nIU junior forward D.J. White added 13 points, seven rebounds, three steals and three blocks in the victory.\nThe Hoosiers (17-6, 7-3 Big Ten) will hit the road to face in-state rival Purdue on Wednesday night in West Lafayette.
