Hoosier Nation---what is your favorite IU BBall shooting/scoring performance of all time?  This can be by percentage or by most points scored and as a team or as an individual---- or even from 3 point range.

 

What you think?

There was one time at Hoosier Hysteria a couple of years ago that Peter Jurkin grabbed a rebound, turned toward the bucket, and hit a three foot baby jumper.

 

That was great!

 Ted Kitchel 1981 vs Illinois.

11 of 13 from the field & 18 of 18 at the line for 40.

He was a madman that day. Couldn't miss.

Good one Woodson!  I loved watching Kitchel shoot from the corners and everywhere for that matter!

Also--gotta give Todd Leary some props for his three 3-pointers in a minute against Duke in the Final Four---almost single-- handedly brought the Hoosiers back!

Ahhhh Good Question.  Off of the top of my head, I would say Tommy Coverdale at Notre Dame in 2000 where he dropped 30 on Troy Murphy and company.  This was really the first big game that Tom had while at IU.  Also, AJ Guyton at Penn State in 98, where he dropped I believe a career high 33 in an overtime win on the road.

The game against Illinois at home in 2002 when we set the Big ten record for most three pointers made in one game. The smashed the Illini that day. I was only 11 years old but I remember it well

DawgBawls--that Kent State game was awesome! That shows what a great outside shooting team can do----hope we have that accuracy this year!

Another great shooting performance was Steve Alford in the 1987 Final Four!

 

He was in a zone---had 33 in the Semi against UNLV and then followed that with seven three pointers in the Championship against the Cuse.

That 2001-2002 team still holds a special place in my heart.  I've got the majority of our wins on DVD and i've watched the Illinois and Kent St. games countless times.  We had so many great shooters, and with skilled big men like Jeffries, Newton, and Odle it really stretched the floor and allowed for kick outs to our white boys with flat tops.  I loved that team.

Leary, as a freshman, off the bench against Duke in the tourney. He came in the game cold, a damn near won us the game. With all our starters fouled out and down double digits, he was money from long range (for like a minute & a half).

I think all of Alfords threes against Cuse were in the first half. Smart took over in the 2nd half!

Woodson had a prolific game the year we won the NIT. Knights teams were so well balanced these types of performances were few and far between. He usually had so many options and all of the players were very unselfish compared to the later Bracey Wright years. Creans 2012 team was similar with I think was 5 players averaging in double figures. That team will always be my #1 talented team that didn't win it even over the 75 undefeated team or the 93 team of Henderson, Bailey, Cheaney and Grahams.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Agree schoosier---that Woodson's IU team often gets overlooked!  Lots of talent and Woodson was crazy good!

Another great series of high scoring games were the Iowa--IU games in 1987 and 1988.  To me--it was Dr. Tom Davis'  best Iowa teams ever.

 

Iowa---ranked #1 won at their place against IU ranked #3 in 1987 ---they scored 101 points on us which was the first time anyone did that against a Knight team.  We returned the favor later that year and beat them in The Hall.  Iowa had UNLV down big in NCAA tourney and blew it---IU took care of UNLV in final four that year!

 

Then in 1988 they had Marble and Armstrong and company and we hung 116 points on them in The Hall on Senior Night---I was there and it was amazing---electric crowd and everything was falling that night! Great times!
