demanded our attention.)

#2 Indiana 74, #13 Purdue 65.

WEST LAFAYETTE, IND. (CLP) - It wasn't pretty, but Indiana left Mackey Arena
with the only important thing, their 16th win of the season.  However, the
story of this game wasn't as much about how Indiana won this game as how
Purdue lost it.
	Tuesday night could have been another victory for the Boilermakers
(11-3, 2-3).  They just ended up being on the short end of a two man game.
Calbert Cheaney played almost to perfection as he scored 33 of the Hoosiers'
74 points to lead Indiana (16-2, 5-0) to the 74-65 victory over Purdue.
	Purdue's exceptional sophomore Glenn Robinson, who ended the night
with 22 points and 10 rebounds couldn't do everything for the Boilers, who
didn't seem to want to do anything for themselves.  They lost this game in
the first 10 minutes when they allowed Indiana to jump out to a 25-10 lead,
which ended up being Indiana's biggest lead of the game.
	Indiana built this 15 point lead for two reasons.  On offense, the
Hoosiers executed to perfection, highlighted by a monster dunk by Matt Nover,
who was played excellent basketball inside the lane, off a nice pass from 
Cheaney, as well as a 3 point fadeaway by Cheaney that was turned into a four
point play when he was also fouled in the process by Purdue's Ian Stanback.
	The other reason was the horrendous shooting by the Boilermakers.
Normally, it would be said that this was due to excellent defense by the 
Hoosiers.  However, the 3 for 15 shooting in the first 10 minutes of the 
game was more due to people not wanting to shoot the ball, or people missing
easy shots.  
	After the official time out, the Boilermakers tried to get back into
the game with a 7 point run led by Robinson inside and Matt Waddell outside.
However, the Boilers comeback was quickly stopped when Cheaney hit another
three-pointer off a Pat Knight pass.  Eventually, the long half ended with
the Hoosiers leading 36-23.  The pathetic shooting of the Boilermakers was
a dismal 24.1% (7-29) for the first half.
	In the second half the Boilermakers started to shoot a lot better,
although I don't know how you can't get much worse than 24%.  The Boilermakers
started to play together as they closed the lead to 55-51 with 5:47 minutes
left to play.  That would be the closest the Boilermakers would get.
	After Robinson closed the lead to 4 with a free throw, Cheaney passed
the ball to a wide open Brian Evans, who drilled a three pointer to give the
Hoosiers a seven point lead.  That was just the start of the unraveling of
the Boilermakers. 
	First of all, the Hoosiers had 4 people on the court (Alan Henderson,
Greg Graham, Damon Bailey, and Evans) with four fouls.  This is with
an entire 5 minutes left in the game.  However, none of the Boilermakers
tried to attack these players and draw the fifth foul.  In fact, none of
them ended up fouling out of the game.  
	Then, after Evans hit a couple of free throws with 3 minutes to give 
the Hoosiers back their 7 point lead, the Boilermakers couldn't get into a
quick offense.  Their next time down the court the Boilers used most of the
45 second clock before they put up a shot.  This wasn't because the shot wasn't
available, but because the Boilers continued to pass the ball looking for a
closer shot.  After using most of the clock, Matt Waddell couldn't manage to 
put in his original shot or the next one after getting the offensive board,
giving the Hoosiers back the ball with 45 more seconds wasted from the game.
	Then, the Hoosiers managed to hit their free throws at the end of
the game to insure their 9 point victory.  The biggest key of this game was
execution.  Whenever the Hoosiers needed a basket, Cheaney would make one of
his many spectacular drives to the basket or someone else would work their 
way to get open for an easy jumper.  On the other side, the Boilers couldn't
manage to finish their offensive plays.  Easy shots were missed, and easy shots
were passed up in order to try to get a lay-up against the tough interior 
defense of the Hoosiers.
	After the game, Purdue coach Gene Keady commented on the lack of 
movement by the Boiler's offense.  
	"There was no screening and we had a lot of people standing around.
That comes with inexperience."
	Keady also said that his team didn't deserve to leave with a victory.
He said, "We did not deserve to win because we didn't play well enough to
win.  We didn't meet the challenge tonight and we lacked efficiency.  We got a
lot more aggressive in the second half, but we could not make some easy shots
to get over the hump."
