NEW YORK — A night after an ineffective game, Cody Zeller had 17 points and eight rebounds to lead No. 1 Indiana to an 82-72 overtime win against Georgetown in the title game of the Legends Classic tournament on Tuesday night.

Jordan Hulls had 17 points for Indiana (5-0) and Yogi Ferrell had 14, including seven in overtime. His last points came on a three-pointer he released just before the shot clock ran out, giving Indiana a 10-point lead with about a minute to go and, finally, clinching a game Indiana almost had wrapped up in regulation.

"Our guys just went out and played a high-level team in a high-level way," Indiana coach Tom Crean said. "It's a program win for us. A program championship for us."

Markel Starks scored 20 points for the Hoyas (3-1).
