Keady says Alford too good for Purdue to stop

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Indiana’s 71-70 victory over arch-rival Purdue was decided, fittingly, in the closing seconds of overtime. And, also fittingly, it was Hoosier guard Steve Alford who made sure the Boilermakers didn’t get another chance to win. "We didn’t have anyone to stop him,’’ Purdue Coach Gene Keady said of the 6-foot-2 junior, the Big Ten Conference scoring leader who had 27 points and made a big steal after Purdue rebounded a missed Indiana free throw with four seconds to go. "He has improved his game. He was better than us tonight,” said Keady. Alford got 13 of Indiana’s final 17 points and scored the only field goal in overtime. He sparked Indiana from five points down in the last four minutes of regulation play. Keady called the battle, in which there were 16 ties and 13 lead changes, "a great game, hard fought, like we thought it would be. We had a chance to win it but we lost some of our concentration and relaxed a little.” Indiana, which came into the game ranked third nationally in field goal percentage at .564, managed only .411 for the game. But the Hoosiers “out-executed us,

Cubs win with balance

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor CLOVERDALE—Debbie Mann became Putnam County’s all-time scoring leader beyond all doubt Thursday night with a 34 point effort, but Greencastle’s balanced attack effectively countered her and accounted for a 69-64 West Central Conference win over host Cloverdale. The victory lifted the Tiger Cubs to 11-5 overall, but more importantly to 7-1 in the WCC and kept them in a tie with Cascade, 5-1 after Thursday’s 64-43 win over North Putnam. The loss dropped Cloverdale to 59 over all and 3-5 in the conference. MANN ENTERED THURSDAY’S county rivalry with 1,018 career points. She hit 14 of 26 shots from the floor and six of nine free throws for her second highest scoring night of the year and 1,052 points. However, paced by Tawnya Pierce’s career-high 24 points, four Greencastle starters reached double figures and Tracy Gorham, Shelly Crawley and Kristy Maguire accounted for seven points off the bench. Along with Pierce’s 24, the Cub 6 got 14 from Amy Tucker, 12 from Pat Archer and 10 from Carol Braden. Dina Duncan was the other starter, netting two. But the key for Greencastle was handling Cloverdale’s full-court pressure. Coach Greg Hammond went with a

out-rebounded us,” said Keady. A subdued Coach Bob Knight refused to say a word about basketball following the game. He refused to answer questions at a post-game news conference, and in a brief statement, all he talked about was fishing. “What an unbelievable day we got for January. The sun was shining. I spent most of the day fishing for blue gi11... I sat on this lake fishing and I thought how insignificant basketball really is. “I hate to leave you, but I think I’m going to go plan my fishing trip tomorrow,” Knight said. All of the Indiana players also left without speaking to reporters. The Boilermakers, who dropped out of a first-place tie with idle Michigan in the Big Ten race, took their biggest lead at 69-64 with four minutes remaining, but they didn’t get another field goal the rest of the game. Alford hit one free throw. Reserve Steve Eyl got a rebound basket and Alford hit two more foul shots to tie the game 69-69 with 2:37 to go. Neither team was able to score after that. The Hoosiers got the ball with under a minute to go and worked for one shot, but Alford’s miss with one second left sent the

smaller lineup of Mann, Shari Craig, Ann Hutcheson, Donda Morris and Tammy Price so the Clovers could trap and press the Cubs more effectively. "EVERYBODY IS PRESSING US because word had got around we can’t handle the press,” coach Glenn Hile said of the tag that has followed Greencastle since 1982. “Now they have confidence. I thought they did a nice job.” Working the ball inside for 10-foot shots all night, Greencastle blew out to as much as a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter while shooting 67 per cent for the game. The Tiger Cubs connected on 30 of 45 shots from the floor. Cloverdale’s saving grace was Mann’s 34 points, Traci Sharp’s eight fourth quarter points and Greencastle’s 50 per cent free throw shooting. While the Cubs tried to eat up the clock with a spread offense, they missed the front of four one-and-ones in the fourth quarter, which Allowed the Clovers to get back to within a 67-60 margin during the final minute of play. MANN GOT THE Clovers out to an early 7-4 lead, but Archer, Tucker, Duncan and finally Pierce connected to put Greencastle up 8-7. When Archer, Tucker and Pierce all picked up their second fouls by the 2:13 mark of the first quarter, it appeared the Clovers had gained an ad-

game into the overtime. Purdue’s last lead was at 70-69 on one free throw by Jeff Arnold with 4:23 left in the extra period. Indiana slowed the pace of the game and got its only points of the overtime on a 23-foot baseline shot by Alford with 1:54 to go. Again, both teams wasted chances to score after that, and Purdue’s final opportunity came after a rebound of an Indiana shot with a halfminute remaining. The Boilermakers called a time out with 17 seconds left, then set up Mack Gadis for a drive to the basket. He missed the shot and Indiana’s Todd Meier rebounded and was fouled with four seconds to go. Meier missed the free throw and Purdue rebounded, but Alford stole the ball as time expired, sealing Indiana’s victory. “One of Gadis’s options is to take the shot or to flip it off,” said Keady. “If he makes it, great; if he doesn’t, we lose.” Guard Stew Robinson added 10 points for Indiana. Center Daryl Thomas, who also had 10, and forward Andre Harris, who had eight points, fouled out in the closing minutes of regulation play. Freshman forward Rick Calloway, who had all 12 of his points in the first half, injured his knee early in the second period and played only

vantage. But with Pierce scoring 10 points and grabbing five of her game high 17 rebounds, Greencastle led 18-16 when the second quarter opened. Mann scored eight in the second quarter, but Pierce and Archer netted six each in the second quarter and Greencastle moved into a comfortable 3628 halftime lead. The second half Cloverdale held Pierce to six points, but Braden picked up the slack for Greencastle. Using Archer’s backside screen to shoot over the zone, Braden scored 10 points. Braden hit five of eight shots during the second half. GOING INTO THE game Hile was hoping to hold Mann around the 25-point mark and keep other Clovers down. “We’ve got to figure something else to do with Debbie,” Hile said with respect for the senior. “I thought Amy (Tucker) could handle her, but she got into foul trouble. She took it too us one-on-one. ” Greencastle could see Cloverdale again in the Eminence-IHSAA sectional. The state tournament draw is Tuesday morning.

Greencastle beaten

CRAWFORDSVILLE—After rallying from an 11-point deficit in the final 1:43 of the game Tuesday night, the Greencastle High School girls basketball team came up two free throws short of host Crawfordsville 59-57 in a non-conference game. With 1:50 left in the game Greencastle trailed by 11. They charged to within one, 58-57, before Crawfordsville hit a free throw with seven seconds left in the game to set the final margin. “I was pretty proud of them for that,” coach Glenn Hile said of the rally. “ANYTIME WE SCORE 57 points we should win. We just didn’t play very good defense.” Greencastle committed 20 fouls, turned the ball over 23 times and many were unforced, the coach admitted. And the last straw was missing second shot of five bonuses, three in the fourth quarter during the last rally. '‘We played tired. Crawfordsville got us

briefly after that. The victory lifted Indiana to 4-2 in the Big Ten and 12-4 overall. Purdue, led by Melvin McCants and Todd Mitchell with 14 points apiece, fell to 5-2 and 16-4. Purdue’s last visit to Assembly Hall a year ago, a 72-63 victory for the Boilermakers, was the game in which Knight received three technical fouls and was ejected after angrily throwing a chair across the court. On Thursday, Knight’s most heated exchange with the officials, mild in comparison with last year’s violent confrontation, came with 12 minutes to go in the first half when a rebound slam dunk by Harris was ruled offensive goaltending and was disallowed. Knight jumped up and shouted at the officials for several seconds. During a subsequent time out, he conferred with the official who made the call. Knight did most of the talking, while the ref just listened, nodded his head and walked away. Meanwhile, lowa Coach George Raveling said his Hawkeyes’ lopsided victory at Evanston wasn’t the type of basketball game in which any individual could shine. Fourteen of his players scored as lowa

South Putnam not only is the host team for the West Central Conference Wrestling Tournament Saturday, but one that can't be counted out if favorite Danville stumbles.

Jeff Rawlins are the top seeded Warriors. However, in big tournaments such as this there are always upsets. Should the Warriors stumble, South Putnam and Edgewood have seven seeded wrestlers and Greencastle, Owen Valley and defending champion Monrovia have six each. South Putnam has two top seeded wrestlers. Brian Hayden is one of three undefeated top seeded entries, boasting 20-0 record at 155-pounds for the Eagles and is the school’s all-time pin leader. Kevin Raisor came on the second half of the season for coach Mark Wildman and his 12-6 record tops the 177-pound class. ALONG WITH HAYDEN, Owen Valley’s state ranked Phil Trimble is 204) at 132pounds and his brother, Brad Trimble, is 16-0 at 112-pounds. The Patriots also have 19-1 Paul Lantz as No. 1 seed in the 98pound class. Enjoying his best season since the early 1970’5, Greencastle coach Dan Layton

at a good time. We came off a very good tournament win and we only had a day and a half to rest,” Hile said, giving his Cubs an out. CRAWFORDSVILLE SLIPPED out to a 12-8 first quarter lead and 29-25 halftime edge. The Athenians were up 44-35 when the final eight minutes opened. Pat Archer led Greencastle with 20 points and Tawnya Pierce netted 13. Coach Hile once again praised Shelly Crawley’s play off the bench in a reserve role behind Pierce.

crushed struggling Northwestern, but only one, Jeff Moe with 12 points, was in double figures. “It’s obvious that Northwestern was handicapped by not having some of its key people here tonight,” Raveling said. Northwestern coach Rich Falk agreed on both counts. “We’ve been playing hurt,” he said, “And because of it, we had a lot of people out of position. They were not in synch.” At Columbus, Illinois Coach Lou Henson made the understatement of the night when he called the Illini’s close victory over Ohio State “a game of spurts.” After blowing a 13-point halftime lead and then fighting back from a six-point deficit with 6:13 remaining, Illinois scratched and clawed down the stretch for the win. The Illini, now 13-5 overall and 4-3 in the Big Ten, scored six of the game’s last eight points to break a tie game heading into the final minute of play. Ken Norman led the Illini with 27 points. Ohio State, now 9-7 and 3-3, outscored the Illini 14-2 at the outset of the second half as Illinois committed eight turnovers in a seven-minute span. But then Illinois made its charge, fueled

wasn’t happy with the seedings. Kerry Bullerdick, with a 13-1 record as of Monday night’s meeting, is the only No. 1 seed for the 10-2-1 Tiger Cubs. Layton was particularly unhappy with the 132-pound seeding where 13-1 Tom Catanese was seeded third behind Danville’s Kenny Littrel, who has a 4-4-1 record. The two have not met, according to Layton, and the seeding procedure goes to common opponents from that point. CLOVERDALE HAS TWO seeded wrestlers, one is Gary Heard, who takes a 15-3 record into the 185-pound class as No. 1. North Putnam has two seeds, neither of which is at the top. Bill Martin is seeded fourth with a 12-3 record at 98 pounds and Jesse Hensley is 11-2 and third seed at 138 pounds.

Meanwhile, Minnesota’s Todd Alexander admits his game-winning shot wasn’t artistic but it got the job done at Wisconsin. “It was a luck shot, but I’ll take luck any way I can,” Alexander said after grabbing his own rebound and scoring the winning basket at the buzzer.
