It seemed all too familiar. By halftime of Saturday night's game against the Iowa Hawkeyes, the Hoosiers had secured a 15 point lead and headed into the locker room looking poised to grab a much needed win. But it would not be that simple. Iowa began the second half in attack mode and suddenly that 15 point lead dissipated into a 10 point lead … then a five point lead … then it was tied.

Fouls, cold second half does in IU

WEST LAFAYETTE -- Mackey Arena was a sea of gold and black with the occasional spec of cream and crimson. In front of a crowd of 9,819, the IU women's basketball team (11-14, 4-11 Big Ten) fell to Purdue (22-5, 11-4) for the second time this year. While the last meeting at the RCA Dome left the Hoosiers with only a two-point loss, this contest had Purdue the victors 74-48. Sophomore guard/forward Jenny DeMuth said it was different playing at Purdue instead of a neutral location, but that it shouldn't make a difference in how the team played. "Here it was a lot louder," DeMuth said. "Here everything is on top of you. You feel enclosed, but that doesn't really make a difference. You have to go out there and do what you have to do."
