TEN THINGS TO KNOW IF YOU DON T COVER IU EVERY DAY Indiana has one of the least experienced teams in Big Ten history having returned 19 points and 185 minutes of league experience back entering conference play. The team did shine in the classroom with an approximate team GPA of 2.9 in the fall. True freshmen have accounted for 72 percent of the team s minutes played (3591 of 5025) and 72 percent of its scoring (1086 points of 1513). Indiana lost 98.8 percent of its scoring and 96.9 percent of its rebounding from last season. Senior Kyle Taber (28 points) and sophomore walk-on Brett Finkelmeier (2 points) are all that return from last year. In addition, Devan Dumes, who played as a freshman at Eastern Michigan and Georgetown transfer Jeremiah Rivers, who is sitting out this season, are the only other Hoosiers with Division I experience. Indiana has faced eight teams that have been nationally ranked this season. Coach Tom Crean and his staff hauled in one of the top recruiting classes in the country and the best in the Big Ten for The Hoosiers are ranked 5th by Rivals.com and 7th by Scout.com.

3 Indiana Basketball GAME 26 - PURDUE 3 BALCONY TICKETS FOR $5 For the remainder of the season, all tickets in the balcony of Assembly Hall will be on sale for $5. Since instituting the policy, Indiana has drawn an average of nearly 16,000 fans in the last six home games. The Ohio State and Illinois games were sold out. HOOSIER HISTORY IU is third all-time in NCAA Championships (5), fifth in NCAA Tournament appearances (35), sixth in NCAA Tournament victories (60), seventh in Final Four appearances (8) and 10th in overall victories (1,640). Indiana has won 20 Big Ten Championships and has the best winning percentage in conference games only at nearly 60 percent. No team has had more All-Big Ten selections than IU with 53. THE LEAST EXPERIENCED TEAM IN BIG TEN HISTORY Tom Crean and his staff have put one of the least experienced non-first year programs in Big Ten history on the floor in Of players who played in league games last season, Indiana returned just 19 points and 185 minutes of experience. Overall, Indiana lost 98.8 percent of its scoring and 96.9 percent of its rebounding from last season. Senior Kyle Taber (28 points) and sophomore walk-on Brett Finkelmeier (2 points) are all that return from last season. TABER IS THE LONE SENIOR After playing just 14 minutes in his first three seasons (redshirted in ), former walk-on Kyle Taber saw his playing time explode the final 13 games of the season averaging to more than 15 minutes per game. So far, he has played 598 minutes in 25 games this season (23.9). He is averaging 3.9 points and 5.1 rebounds. The Evansville product set his career high by playing 37 minutes against Iowa and matched his season-bests with seven points and eight rebounds in the win. He had his only career dunk last year against Purdue. NOTICEABLE IMPROVEMENT The Hoosiers have averaged 20.5 free throw attempts in the last eight games. The 20 points allowed in the first half to Iowa tied the Hoosiers best defensive effort of the season in a half (20 vs. IUPUI). The Hoosiers seven blocked shots against the Gophers was their best effort in Big Ten play. Indiana has allowed just 5.4 three-pointers per game over the last five contests. DEVAN DUMES NIGHT AGAINST IOWA Dumes scored a career-high 27 points and made all five of his three-point field goal attempts in leading the Hoosiers to the win against Iowa. Dumes tied Kyle Hornsby (2002 at Michigan) and Keith Smart (1987 at Ohio State) for the Hoosiers most accurate long range effort in a Big Ten game. Robert Vaden has the overall IU mark after making 6-of-6 in 2006 at Ball State. He also made eight of nine field goals from the field. He hit a three-pointer with 1:11 to go to extend the Hoosier lead to He also had a steal with 24 seconds to go and hit two free throws with 15 seconds remaining. He currently leads the Big Ten in three-point shooting, making 51.9 percent in league play. MATT ROTH S NIGHT AGAINST OHIO STATE Roth scored 29 points in 27 minutes off the bench when he made 9-of-11 three-point field goals and two free throws. He is the first freshman in league history to make nine three-pointers in any game involving a Big Ten team. He tied Michigan State s Shawn Respert (1995, Michigan State at Indiana) and Indiana s Roderick Wilmont (2007, Indiana at Northwestern) for the most three-point field goals made in a conference game. Michigan State s Chris Hill made a Big Ten record 10 in 2003 against Syracuse. Roth s nine treys also set an Assembly Hall record for an IU player (8) that most recently was matched by Neil Reed in 1996 against Michigan. His 29 points off the bench were the most ever by a Hoosier reserve on record (since the season). Damon Bailey had 28 points in 23 minutes off the bench in a 1993 home game against Penn State. Roth made 4-of-5 three-pointers in the first half and 5-of-6 in the second half.

Pritchard recorded a doubledouble in his Hoosier debut against Northwestern State with 13 points and 10 rebounds and dropped in 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds against IUPUI to become the first freshman at IU to record double-doubles in his first two career games and the first person since Jared Jeffries in 2002 to post double-doubles in the first two games of a season. He is averaging 10.3 points and 6.6 rebounds (eighth in the Big Ten). Pritchard also is 12th in the league in field goal percentage (49.7). STORY PROVIDING OFFENSE Freshman Malik Story has averaged 8.0 points in the last eight games, including an 11-point outburst against Wisconsin. He had nine points against Illinois, Minnesota and Iowa and made six key free throws in the second half at Northwestern following his 14 points against Minnesota at Assembly Hall.

He had seven points and four rebounds at Illinois and six points at Iowa. The Los Angeles, Calif., native had 14 against Gonzaga and 10 against Wake Forest. MOORE FOR NO MONEY Freshman walk-on Daniel Moore is averaging 2.7 points, 2.9 assists and 0.9 steals and has started 10 games this season.

Moore had 10 points against Chaminade, eight against Cornell and seven against Wake Forest in addition to four points and a season-high seven assists against TCU.

6 Indiana Basketball GAME 26 - PURDUE 6 TWO GAMES FINALIZED Indiana will now play at Purdue at 2 p.m., Saturday, February 21, on the Big Ten Network and will host Michigan State at 7 p.m., Tuesday, March 3, on ESPN. Indiana s regular season finale at Wisconsin on March 7 or 8 still needs to be set for television purposes. DIVISION I EXPERIENCE The Indiana men s basketball team will be one of the least experienced teams in the history of Division I basketball. Of the 16 players on the roster, just four have seen action in a game at the Division I level before the start of the season. In addition to returnees Kyle Taber and Brett Finkelmeier, Devan Dumes and Jeremiah Rivers have also played at this level. Dumes played at Eastern Michigan as a freshman before transferring to Vincennes for his sophomore campaign. At EMU, he averaged 8.1 points and 2.0 rebounds, including a season-high 19 points against Ohio. He had 16 points against Tom Crean and Marquette for EMU. Rivers comes to Indiana after playing his first two seasons at Georgetown. As a freshman, the Hoyas reached the Final Four with Rivers playing in 34 games. DEFENSIVE STOP In two Hoosier wins (IUPUI and Chaminade) this season, Indiana made two defensive stops in the final seconds against shots that would have either tied the game or given its opponent the lead. Tom Pritchard blocked a three-point field goal attempt at the buzzer against IUPUI, and the Hoosiers put enough team pressure against Chaminade to force an off-balance three-pointer at the buzzer.

Head Coach Tom Crean had a 100 percent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) in his nine years at Marquette, as all 26 seniors graduated and earned a degree under his leadership. Tom Crean, who averaged over 20 wins a season in nine years at Marquette and led the Golden Eagles to five NCAA Tournament appearances including the 2003 Final Four, was named the 28th head basketball coach in Indiana University history, on April 2. In each of his final seven seasons, Crean s Marquette team s posted at least 19 wins and earned a postseason berth. Over those seven years, he compiled an aggregate record of (.702). He is a two-time recipient of the Ray Meyer Conference USA, NABC District XI and USBWA District V Coach of the Year awards, and in 2003 won the Coach Clair Bee Award as well as being named a finalist for the Naismith National Coach of the Year Award. Overall, he was in nine years with the Golden Eagles. Crean built the Marquette program to the level where it has remained one of college basketball s best since Since November 2001, the Golden Eagles spent 81 weeks in the rankings, including all but one week of the season, as the squad was ranked as high as 10th by the AP. In his nine years with the Golden Eagles, Crean s teams earned five NCAA Tournament bids, one more than the previous four Marquette coaches had in the 16 years prior to his arrival. In his nine seasons in Milwaukee, Golden Eagles players earned 22 All-Conference selections and grasped the program s first conference player of the year award, when Dwayne Wade won Conference USA s top honor in Wade also went on to become the first Marquette player since 1978 to be named an Associated Press first team All-American and finalist for the John R. Wooden Award. In , Crean s squad put together a season and earned the No. 6 seed in the NCAA South Regional. The Golden Eagles topped Kentucky in the first round and lost a heartbreaker to No. 3 seed Stanford in overtime to come up just shy of a trip to the Sweet 16. MU finished tied for fifth in the BIG EAST with an 11-7 conference record. Marquette had three All-BIG EAST selections as Lazar Hayward, Dominic James and Jerel McNeal all picked up second team accolades. MU was one of just two teams in the 16-squad BIG EAST to have three players selected to the first and second teams. James was a first team all-conference selection in as well, while McNeal was named the conference s Defensive Player of the Year. In 2006, Steve Novak was a unanimous first team allconference selection and went on to be selected by the Houston Rockets in the NBA Draft. That followed Travis Diener s All-America selection in 2005, joining Wade as Golden Eagles to earn the recognition under Crean s direction. Diener was selected 38th overall by the Orlando Magic in the 2005 Draft and played last year for the Indiana Pacers.
