IU rowing head coach Steve Peterson likes to find new ways of doing things in his tradition-laden sport. But sometimes serendipity brings him back to the tried and true. Peterson realized the importance of a winter training trip this time last year by not taking one. It was the first winter in Peterson's 15-year rowing career that he did not take a crew to Florida for a week of warm-weather training. He thought the trip might be overrated and decided not to take the Hoosiers south.
After all of the debate, the Big Ten is coming clean regarding its officials ruling at the conclusion of the first overtime in IU's 75-73 win against Purdue Saturday.

Instead, Landry, who was fouled in the act of shooting, should've been awarded two free throws with no time on the clock.
