No. 1 Indiana 66, Georgia 53: Victor Oladipo had 15 points and eight rebounds and the Hoosiers pulled away in the second half in the semifinals of the Legends Classic at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
Oladipo’s 3-pointer capped a 20-4 run and put Indiana (4-0) ahead 54-42 with 7:03 remaining, and Georgia never threatened in the final minutes. Jordan Hulls scored six of his 14 points during the run with back-to-back 3-pointers.
Georgia (1-3) lost its third straight game despite 14 points and six rebounds from guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who hit four 3-pointers. Vincent Williams added 14 points, including three 3-pointers.
Christian Watford had 14 points for the Hoosiers, who moved to 4-0 for the fourth straight year after outrebounding the Bulldogs 35-21.
Indiana forward Cody Zeller, the consensus preseason national player of the year, sat for much of the first half with two early fouls and finished with six points and four rebounds in 27 minutes.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Georgia fell to 0-15 all-time when playing the nation’s No. 1-ranked team. … Indiana will face Georgetown in Tuesday's final while Georgia will play No. 13 UCLA in the consolation game.
