Reed Bailey scored a game-high 21 points and Tayton Conerway added 19 as No. 25 Indiana rolled past Kansas State 86-69 on Tuesday in Bloomington, Ind.

Lamar Wilkerson (14 points) and Trent Sisley (12) also finished in double figures for the Hoosiers (6-0), who shot 47.4% and led by as many as 23 points.

P.J. Haggerty paced the Wildcats (5-2) with 16 points while C.J. Jones (15) and Nate Johnson (13) followed.

Indiana opened the second half on an 10-2 run to surge ahead by 20 and create valuable distance. Bailey and Conerway starred coming out of the break, scoring six points apiece on 5-for-5 combined shooting.

Tucker DeVries, who entered the night as the Hoosiers' leading scorer at 19.2 points a game, grabbed an offensive rebound and scored his first points of the night on a jumper at the 15-minute mark. He finished with nine points and matched teammate Conor Enright with a game-high six boards while dishing five assists.

Kansas State committed 19 turnovers to Indiana's 17.

The Hoosiers finished with a plus-7 rebounding advantage while limiting the Wildcats to four second-chance points.

Kansas State committed 13 turnovers in the first half while logging just four assists. The sloppy ball movement helped Indiana surge to an early 16-point advantage and take a 12-point edge into halftime but also was something the Wildcats overcame in spurts.

Slumping to a 33.3% start from the floor, including a 2-for-7 effort from deep, Kansas State drew within a basket three times over the final stages of the first half but was unable to grab the lead.

After a Haggerty layup cut the deficit to 26-24 with 4:46 left in the half, Indiana rolled into intermission on a 13-3 run that featured treys from Wilkerson and Enright as well as a Sisley fastbreak dunk over a 58-second span.

The Hoosiers led 39-27 at the break behind eight points each from Conerway, Sisley and Wilkerson. Johnson had eight first-half points for Kansas State.

The Wildcats shot 42.1% on the night. Elias Rapieque and Johnson both had five rebounds.

Indiana has won 10 straight in the series.
