> (I mean, if you're going to foul someone, > FOUL them. Three cheers for Ricky Hall's wipeout of IU's Steve Alford.) Speaking as an IU alumnus and as a fan of IU Basketball since the Branch McCracken Era, I would like to say that I have a higher opionion of Indiana's archrival than some of their own fans. I would not have accused Purdue's Gene Keady or his players of deliberate unsportsmanlike conduct. I respect Ricky Hall for having apologized to Steve Alford and to Bobby Knight for the incident in question. Ricky Hall is a gentleman, a sportsman, and a fine basketball player. ...and IU's current crop of Freshmen and Sophomores will rule the Big Ten for years to come.

I inadvertantly left my previous submission unsigned. Seems I left my .signature behind when I changed machines. This article will probably be signed twice, just to make sure. In case you noticed the heading... Yes, it's true. I am an IU alumnus who works for the Purdue University Computing Center. That doesn't keep me from rooting for IU in basketball.

Alright, you asked for it...paraphrasing Monty Python...
"They should be shut in an iron box with spikes on the inside."
Anyway, Purdue hung on to barely beat Michigan tonight after being
dismantled by Illinois this weekend in a game in which Purdue forgot that
basketball is a contact sport. (I mean, if you're going to foul someone,
FOUL them. Three cheers for Ricky Hall's wipeout of IU's Steve Alford.)
As for DePaul, Scott Pector, they are an overrated bunch of street
ball players. THAT'S why they lose in first round nearly every year.
