Gary, Ind. -- The Indiana University Northwest men's basketball team showed an impressive outing on Wednesday as IUN defeated TIU by 30 points. The RedHawks (11-8, 7-4 CCAC) defeated the Trojans (3-13, 2-9 CCAC), 94-64, at the Savannah Center, Wednesday.

IUN went up 10-2 early in the game after Marshaud Watkins (Harvey, Ill.) hit a three-pointer. TIU crawled back after scoring the next seven points to make it a one-point game still in the early stages of the game.

TIU made it close again after an IUN run but then the RedHawks jumped out and scored seven in a row capped off by a three-pointer by Jason Peace (Indianapolis, Ind.) to make it 26-14.

The RedHawks went up as much as 18 after Rashad Richardson (Lafayette, Ind./Lafayette Jeff) hit a basket and back-to-back buckets by Martellian Gibson (Rantoul, Ill.) which made it 33-15 with 4:17 left in the first half. TIU fought back to make it a 10-point game at half after going on a 12-4 run the final four plus minutes (37-27).

TIU made it down to six (54-48) with 11 minutes to go but that was the closest the Trojans got as and Watkins and Chris Robinson (Indianapolis, Ind./Pike) hit back-to-back threes to make it a double digit lead again.

Late in the game, IUN started lighting it up from three-point land as Richardson, Ryan LaFollette (Lake Station, Ind./River Forest) and Greg Charles (Munster, Ind./Munster) all knocked one down. Tyler Bostic (Indianapolis, Ind./Mount Vernon) secured the 30-point lead after hitting a basket.
