CHESTERTON | As Stacey King says on Bulls telecasts, too big, too fast, too strong, too good.

Times No. 3 Lake Central showed it all Friday, and didn't need a monster night from Glenn Robinson, dismantling Chesterton 70-48 to maintain its perch atop the Duneland Athletic Conference.

"I'd like to go out and score 30, but that doesn't happen every game," Robinson said. "I couldn't (get) anything to fall the first three quarters, but I didn't hang my head. Individually, I didn't produce like I usually do, but that's all right. I've got great teammates who understand the game and play hard."

Robinson still led all scorers with 16 points, nine of those coming in the fourth quarter, with the outcome well in hand, and handed out five assists. The Indians (13-2, 9-1) received 15 points from center Tyler Wideman despite limited first-half minutes due to foul trouble, 12 points and six boards from Mike Miklusak and 10 points from Tye Wilburn.

"When we're going inside out, we tend to play our best," L.C. coach Dave Milausnic said. "It's about feeding the post and scoring or kicking it back out. I felt we were pretty efficient offensively. The main thing is letting the other guys play and them having the confidence to hit shots when teams do junk (defenses)."

The Indians took control late in the first quarter and led 30-21 at the break. They blew the game open in the second half when they shot 68 percent (15 of 22) and had four players hit 3s.

"Big Tyler was huge for us," Robinson said. "(Going inside) was the main thing we went over in practice. They couldn't stop him down there. Guys were coming off the bench knocking down big shots. It was a really good team game."

L.C. also put the clamps on Chesterton (5-9, 3-7), which couldn't get much done on offense until the fourth quarter. The Trojans never seemed comfortable inside against the bigger Indians and didn't shoot well from the arc (3 of 12).

"There's a lot of talent over there," Chesterton coach Tom Peller said. "We can't simulate that in practice. When they play hard and with a purpose like they did, they're awfully tough to beat. They've got so many weapons. They're very unselfish. I was very impressed. We competed as well as we could. They're just better."

Donnie Johnson topped the Trojans with 11 points. Freshman Matt Holba added 10 to go with six rebounds and three blocks.
