The Hoosiers tenacious de
fense, which held Michigan
to its lowest point total since
1961, and great performances
by Bob Wilkerson and Kent
Benson proved decisive in
Michigan's fifth Big Ten loss.
Bobby Knight, coach of the
21-0 Hoosiers, had nothing but
praise for his team's defense.
"I thought our defense was bet-
ter in the second half than it
was in the first," he said. "We
took too many chances in the

first half, but there were parts
where we really played well de-
fensively."
Playing a deliberate style of
offense, Michigan started the
contest with a three guard line-
up consisting of Steve Grote,
Dave Baxter and Joe Johnson.
But Grote picked up three quick
fouls, sustained a cut on his
face, and was replaced by Don
Johnston before three minutes
elapsed.

Hoo ping in Hoosierland:
A sight to beholda
By BILL CRANE
BLOOMINGTONI
LAST SUNDAY night, Purdue University was described by one
Indiana University student as "exciting as a slab of concrete."
The stretch from West Lafayette to Bloomington is the
+same. Abandoned farms and deserted businesses pervade the
dreary landscape.,
The satellite hamburger stands don't seem to do much
business, and For Sale signs on property have been posted
for so long that they're weather bleached.
But along the way, backboards mounted on garages remind
the weary traveler that he is indeed in Basketball Land, and, as
the road winds into Bloomington, one marked change in the
bleakness befalls him-Hoosiermania!
"Anytlh .ng short of a national championship will be disap-
pointing," one fan remarked. The people of Bloomington have
discovered, just as the Wolverines found out last night in their
74-48 ls, that their Hoosiers are exciting stuff.
The sign in an all-night grocery store read, "Yes, we havej
the 'Red-Hot Hoosier' issue of Sports Illustrated here."
The "Red-Hot Hoosiers" are, of course, Indiana's num-
ber-one basketball team, and apparently the latest edition of
that magazine in the area is moving as rapidly as the team's
victories wile up.

After that, the Hoosiers took second ha]
command on the shooting of aged only

Indiana came storming, back capitalized
in the second half, as Wilkerson when weg

with his shooting, while Benson
owned the boards. Not

several minutes. Johnson

,U's undefeated team, is only a layup in the game of excitement CHAMPAIGN - Mike Thomp-


here.
Tickets for the balcony of Assembly Hall have been selling3
for $20, and go for as much as $25 for the better seats. The
largest crowd ever to see an indoor sporting event in the state]
of Indiana viewed the Hoosiers' latest home game against
Purdue.
McDonald's in Bloomington offers a Coke, fries and ham-
burger to ticketholders of any game in which Indiana holds its
opponent under 50 points.
Hoosiermania is a common affliction, with over 17,000 par-
tisans showing up for each home game. Coach Bobby Knight's
squad has severely whipped enough opponents so that some
ticketholders might presumably be bored-but not so. "Enthu-
siasm galore" is how an older fan described it.
Assembly Hall is packed for every Hoosier game and
high school cage games fill the radio airwaves each Friday '
night. At the end of the season the high school championship
pits teams, parents and friends alike against each other.
The prospect of having a national champion right on one's
own doorstep has caught the popular imagination. "The en-
thusiasm is genuine," one of Indiana's basketball student man-,
agters said. "Everybody wants to see the team do well.";
"If Indiana is playing its worst, and another team plays
its best, the game might be close," another fan said.
A Pizza Hut employe didn't seem to mind wearing his
ridiculous red and white striped Pizza jacket, for it resembles,
Indiana's warm-up pants.
Although the people in these parts don't like the recent
Sports Illustrated article about their beloved Hoosiers-
"who cares how much Knight swears?" one student said-
Hoosier interest in reading about the team runs highj
Naturally, the Athletic Department boisterously displays its
basketball team's number-one ranking. But there's nothing in
the Big-Ten like Indiana's uproarious crowd. The noise is deaf-
ening, and the clapping to "Indiana, My Indiana" is thrilling
to behold.
Michigan's Wayman Britt added what was perhaps the best
perception of present Indiana emotion. Britt commented, "Every-
body walks around here with their heads held high."

The Gophers held their

Minnesota battled to a 25-23

Purdue pulled away from
the Hawkeyes quickly and was
still building a lead at the
end of the game. The 35-point
spread at the buzzer was the
widest of the game and the
worst beating the Boilermak-
ers have ever given Iowa.
Larry Moore topped the Iawk-
eyes with 14 poinits, and Scott
Thompson, Fred Haberecht and
Bruce King added 12 each.
The Boilermakers hit 58 per
cent of their shots for the
game, slightly better the second,
half than the first, despite un-
limited substitution by Coach
Fred Schaus.
