BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 31 (UPI) -- William Buford led No. 2 Ohio State to a big first half and produced a season-best 26 points Friday in the Buckeyes' 85-67 victory over Indiana.

Buford established a season high in points for the second straight game. He scored 23 Monday against Tennessee-Martin.

The Buckeyes became the last Big Ten Conference team to open its league season and ran their overall record to 14-0. Ohio State will go into 2011 as one of seven unbeaten teams left in major college basketball along with Syracuse, Cincinnati, Kansas, San Diego State, Central Florida and Duke.

Ohio State established a 46-33 halftime lead and boosted its advantage to as many as 21 points during the second period. The Buckeyes shot 60 percent from the field and converted 13-of-19 attempts from 3-point range.

Jared Sullinger added 19 points for the Buckeyes and Jon Diebler had 15.

Indiana (9-6, 0-2 Big Ten) was led by Christian Watford with 17.
