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.
