Hoosiers limit 3s in win against Fighting Illini

By Eamonn Brennan · Sunday, Feb. 11,2007 10:17 p.m.

In Saturday's 65-61 win against Illinois, IU's shooters set a new low. Actually, they tied it. The men's basketball team's nine attempted 3-pointers were the least the team has shot since Nov. 28, 2006, when IU made four of its nine attempts en route to a 54-51 loss against Duke. November's shooting low was due to the Blue Devils' constant perimeter pressure, but IU's restraint Saturday was by design -- and it helped them pull off a home win that was in the balance all the way until the end.
