Knight Time Rewind: February 16, 2013
On this day in 2013, IU routs Purdue’s 83-55, the second drubbing of the season. Will Sheehey would lead the Hoosiers in scoring with 22 points, setting an IU record for the most field goals in a game without a miss by going a perfect 9-9 from the field. This also marked the first time in the series the Hoosiers would defeat the Boilers by 20 or more points twice in a season. Go Hoosiers!
Knight Time Rewind: December 8, 1984

Knight Time Rewind: February 16, 1987
On this day in February 1987, Steve Alford broke the Indiana University basketball career scoring record held by former IU great Don Schlundt. Fittingly, with 14:41 left in the first half, Alford would bury a three pointer, giving him 2,195 points. It wasn’t a great scoring night for Alford, who struggled from the field to finish with 13 points. Alford would go on to finish with 2,438 career points, a record that would soon fall to Calbert Cheaney in 1993. This contest also marked the first triple overtime game in Indiana history. Shown here is the game program and ticket for the contest. Go Hoosiers!
