b"It took six games, but the Indiana Hoosiers finally turned in their first consistent 40-minute performance on Friday afternoon in an impressive 87-67 victory over Eastern Michigan.

-- Robert Johnson and Josh Newkirk led the way from a scoring perspective, combining for 35 points and a sterling 9-12 clip from downtown.
-- Juwan Morgan was all over the place from an effort and energy perspective.
-- Al Durham led an excellent ball-handling effort, as the freshman once again logged major minutes without a turnover, and his teammates followed suit with turnovers on just 13.3% of possessions.
-- And, of course, Collin Hartman made his season debut, draining a 3 on his first possession to emphatically announce his return to regular season action.

It wasn't a perfect performance, as the Hoosiers still allowed more than a point per possession, but it was a game that displayed the kind of progress the Hoosiers needed to show to give fans, and likely themselves, confidence that they have a puncher's chance next week against Duke.
