Sharper: Grossman talked trash during Bears' first win

·

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Minnesota safety Darren Sharper remembers it clearly, though it's been more than two months since Chicago quarterback Rex Grossman threw a late touchdown pass to beat the Vikings at the Metrodome. What happened next seems un-Rex like. The Bears' young quarterback started to talk trash to the Vikings. Apparently big-time. "In 10 years in the league I haven't had a quarterback do that any time to me, so we definitely remember that, and the guys in the locker room remember that," Sharper said Wednesday as the teams got ready for a rematch Sunday at Soldier Field.

Purdue unable to engineer victory

·

If there was one change from the first half to the second in IU's 85-58 victory over Purdue Wednesday night, it was IU's growing lead. It started at 12, thanks to IU's stifling defense, which held the Boilermakers to just 22 points in the first half.

Ratliff leads Hoosier bench, tallies 16 points with cast on left wrist

·

IU junior A.J. Ratliff played Wednesday night's game against Purdue with a cast on his left wrist. But that didn't stop the guard from coming off the Hoosiers' bench and pouring in 16 points, including a 4-for-4 tab from beyond the arc and a perfect 6-for-6 from the field. Ratliff and the rest of the IU reserves combined for 46 points during the Hoosiers' 85-58 victory against Purdue. "It feels good," Ratliff said of his performance. "I did a lot of shooting this week, a lot of shooting when I was out with that injury. The ball felt good coming out of my hands and my teammates were getting it to me when I was open."

Rivals both use similar style

·

When the Hoosiers line up across from Purdue tonight at Assembly Hall, they'll see a lot of themselves in their opponents. Both teams average 72 points per game. Both teams hold their opponents to less than 65 points per game - Purdue to 64.1 and IU to 59. IU rebounds with more frequency, but only by three rebounds per game. And at 1-1 in the Big Ten, both teams are searching for their second conference victory tonight.
