Hoosiers can't duplicate win

By Dan Cortez · Wednesday, Feb. 27,2002 1:32 a.m.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- This time it wasn't a second-half collapse and foul trouble for the Hoosiers' best player that did IU in. And it wasn't even close enough for the Hoosiers to have a last-second shot to send the game into overtime. But IU had its chances. Instead the only constant the last two games for the Hoosiers is they have found another way to drop another game they desperately needed and could have won.

Hoosiers in control of Big Ten fate

By Jason Recker · Tuesday, Feb. 26,2002 1:39 a.m.

Sunday's game at Michigan State wasn't a must-win. IU lost a 16-point lead, the game and sole possession of first place in the Big Ten. Tonight's game at Illinois is a must-win. IU can't afford anything else if it wants to stabilize chances for its first Big Ten title since 1993. The eternally optimistic Hoosiers have accepted that. Whether they come through on the plan will unfold at 7 tonight in Champaign's Assembly Hall when No. 25 IU and No. 15 Illinois tangle for the second time this season. IU routed the Fighting Illini 88-57 in the first meeting Jan. 26 behind a school, and Big Ten-record, 17 three pointers.
