Hoosiers find way to win

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Monday, Dec. 1,2003 12:33 a.m.

IU coach Mike Davis paced the sidelines and watched his Hoosiers give away the 14-point halftime lead they built over Xavier Saturday. He watched them battle back and send the game into overtime, only to watch them fall behind again. But sophomore guard Bracey Wright took control in the overtime and scored eight of his game-high 27 points, leading the Hoosiers to an 80-77 victory over the Musketeers. It was IU's first appearance in the John R. Wooden Tradition at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. "I don't think you can question our ability to play," Wright said. "We showed tonight, going into overtime, we were down most of the latter part of the game. We found a way to win, and that's what we stress on this team." And yet Davis had other things on his mind. He learned shortly before the game that his oldest son, Mike Jr., had been taken to the emergency room after reacting to a medication to treat repeated migraines. Early in the week, his sister-in-law had been in a serious car accident.

The bitter end

By John Rodgers · Monday, Nov. 24,2003 1:23 a.m.

The battle for the Bucket turned into a 15-round slugfest. Heavily favored Purdue got all it wanted from the Hoosiers, yet in the end, the Boilermakers escaped Memorial Stadium with a 24-16 win Saturday. Purdue coach Joe Tiller said he was impressed with IU's play. "We feel fortunate to come out of here with a win," Tiller said. "We felt like Indiana played really inspired football, and our hats go off to them. I actually thought they played better than we did today at times. We had moments where we played extremely well, but also had moments where we were plain and flat getting outplayed by the Hoosiers."

The 104th season of IU basketball officially kicks off tonight at Assembly Hall with a contest against UNC-Greensboro. Even after two wins in their exhibition campaign, IU coach Mike Davis said they still have a lot to think about. "We just have to figure out who's going to score," Davis said. "I can't sit here and tell you what guys are going to be in double figures, because I don't know."

Why a bucket?

By John Rodgers · Friday, Nov. 21,2003 1 a.m.

It's hard to believe that one of the most famous trophies in college football came from a farm in southern Indiana. But that farm, between Kent and Hanover, Ind., is where the Old Oaken Bucket called home before becoming the winner's prize in the IU-Purdue football game. The bucket's inaugural appearance came in the 1925 game, which ended in a 0-0 tie. Purdue's Fritz Ernst and IU's Wiley J. Huddle were given the job of finding the trophy. The pair found what they were looking for at the old Bruner Farm.
