Williams made 43 points, contributing to Indiana's upset win over Utah in a game where nobody gave them much of a chance. Their prospects certainly looked bleak on paper, with most predictions giving Utah a solid win thanks to better skill at most positions. But head coach Coach Hitch came up with a marvelous game plan and kept Utah coach Coach Young guessing most of the game. This, as well as a number of solid performances by Williams and others, gave Indiana the edge they needed to come out on top. "I think we caught them by surprise," said Coach Hitch after the game. "They played like they expected the win to be handed to them, but we made some adjustments after studying their tendencies and it paid off."

Indiana was led by Williams (43 points, 0 assists, 2 blocks), Cato (21 points, a steal), Bowles (11 points, 12 boards, 0 assists). Utah was led by Edmonds (7 points, 16 boards, 1 assists, 3 blocks), Schab (24 points), Fripp (13 points).

With this win, Indiana are now 24-9 and 16-3 at home. They stay at #1 in the Central and remain at #1 overall in the Eastern Conference. Utah fall to 28-5. They stay at #1 in the Northwest and hold at #1 overall in the Western Conference.
