Indiana basketball opens its first West Coast road trip in the expanded Big Ten with a game against Washington on Saturday afternoon.

Welcome to our live blog for Saturday's game between Indiana and Washington at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle.

The Indiana basketball team picked up a 78-62 win on the road against Washington on Saturday night. IU improved to 18-11 overall and 9-9 in the Big Ten. Malik Reneau came off the bench and led the team with 22 points and six rebounds. Luke Goode had 18 points (5-of-9 from 3-point range).

As of now, the black alternates are not available for purchase online, but that could change given the generally positive response from fans. It's also unknown as to whether Indiana will wear them again, but the Hoosiers are 1-0 in black, so it could be something coach Mike Woodson goes back to for the Big Ten or NCAA Tournament.

Indiana came out in all-black uniforms for the first time this season and defeated Washington 78-62 at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle.

While Washington (13-16; 4-14) showed signs of life coming out of halftime, it followed up a 7-0 run with a scoring drought that lasted more than five minutes. The Huskies shot 36.2% and turned the ball over 13 times while leading scorer Great Osobor had a season-low four points and didn't score a single field goal (0 for 5).

Indiana used a fast start and bountiful bench production to earn a 78-62 win over Washington in its third consecutive victory. The Hoosiers improved to 18-11 overall and 9-9 in the Big Ten with just two games left in the regular season.

The Washington Huskies men's basketball team was looking up at the rest of the Big Ten when the Indiana Hoosiers came to town for a game on Saturday at Alaska Airlines Arena. The Huskies were unable to claw back from the conference basement and fell 78-62 to the Hoosiers.

The Indiana Hoosiers visit the Washington Huskies on March 1. Here's the start time, TV channel and a prediction.

With consecutive wins over Purdue and Penn State, the Hoosiers are now playing for an NCAA Tournament spot again. Most brackets have them in the First Four again this year in Dayton, so every game counts towards getting more safely in the field.

The Indiana basketball team is on a two-game winning streak as it heads west to Seattle to face Washington on Saturday. IU is 17-11 overall and 8-9 in the Big Ten. Washington is 13-15 overall and 4-13 in conference play.
