Kelvin Sampson’s Indiana Hoosiers beat #2 Wisconsin. Indiana is a solid Big 10 team playing at home, but still, that’s pretty huge. Indiana scored 45 second half points to overcome a 2 point half-time deficit and win 71 to 66. A.J. Ratliff led the way with 20 points, including 4 from 6 behind the 3 point line.
speaking as someone who lives beneath the shadow of assembly hall, i can honestly say that it will be a long, happy night in hoosier-land.
great game.
Sampson is a excellent coach who will turn this program around.Just think what kind of player Robert Vaden would have become under Sampson if he had stayed.I was nevr one of the people who attacked Mike Davis constantly but after a few years it was clear he was in over his head as far as trying to lead a big time program.
This team plays hard and plays excellent defense and have already exceeded my expectations considering they only have one true inside player in DJ White who has to play almost every minute.Ben Allen is the shortest 6’11” guy you’ll ever see.I do not think he will ever be able to play inside but we will see.
Thanks IU! Now Butler is tied with Wisconsin for best record in the country :) Plus Butler’s RPI undoubtedly goes up too for having beaten IU. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of IU for IU’s sake, but Butler is my main love!
