BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Connecticut didn't miss its two suspended guards Saturday. Fill-in starter Craig Austrie had 15 points to lead five scorers in double figures and the Huskies dominated the middle in a 68-63 upset of No. 7 Indiana.

The loss, Indiana's first since Nov. 24, ended the Hoosiers' 13-game winning streak and their 29-game home winning streak.

UConn (14-5) was without starting guard Jerome Dyson and backup Doug Wiggins, who were suspended Friday for violating team rules. So the Huskies relied on power, outscoring the Hoosiers 34-16 in the paint and grabbing a 44-28 rebounding edge.

Armon Bassett led Indiana (17-2) with 18 points and Eric Gordon added 14.

D.J. White had 13 points and 10 rebounds for the Hoosiers, but it wasn't nearly enough against Connecticut's balanced scoring effort.

A.J. Price finished with 14 points for the Huskies, while Hasheem Thabeet had 12 and Stanley Robinson and Jeff Adrien each added 11 points and 11 rebounds.

It looked like the Huskies would struggle when Indiana opened the game with three straight 3-pointers to make it 9-0.

But Connecticut settled down, eventually used a 12-1 run to take a 19-16 lead with 7:10 left in the first half and clamped down defensively. Indiana never led again.

UConn held the Big Ten's best shooting team to just 27.6 percent in the half and 37.1 percent for the game. It was the Hoosiers worst offensive performance of the season. Their previous scoring low was 62 points against Illinois on Jan. 13.

The Huskies, leading 29-24 at halftime, came out of the break quickly. They scored seven of the first 10 points in the second half to make it 36-27 and extended the lead to as much as 52-41 with 6:04 left.

Indiana never got closer than five points the rest of the way, and Austrie sealed it by making six free throws in the final minute.

This was the third straight season the schools faced each other during the conference season with the road team winning all three.

Second-year Hoosiers coach Kelvin Sampson, who set a school record for most consecutive home-court wins at the start of a career (27) lost for the first time at Assembly Hall.
