going to see a tremendous contrast there Albarn you've got a guy Gerald white is really the glue to this ballclub a backcourt player is going to be called upon today to do two very difficult things get them in their offense stay away from Indiana's press and also do a job possibly on Steve Alford defensively this team graduate is a great Chuck person now in the NBA what do they do down in the hole but they still have Jeff Moore and if all burns going to play today they've got to get in the transition game that means they've got to be tough off the boards Auburn has had great rebounding and Jeff horse well we talk about the crowds appreciation of Steve Alford and the other Hoosiers but you think a couple other guys are the keys today I really do I think Bobby Knights teams to say hey

funny in a 16 year Wow night the winning team will advance to the Midwest regional next Thursday night in Cincinnati we'll be right back [Applause] bopper to the south-eastern against indiana the big ten Billy Packer what kind of a game in terms of style will we see well Brent I think the coaches really pointed out the top of the game you've got [Applause] rebounding let's see which coach gets the advantage early Sonny Smith saying we want it wild in the streets if we can get it that way we want no part of Indiana's half-court defense referee Wilco throws it up Auburn controls Indiana higher seed in this regions that are wearing their home was all part comes out on Jer oh boy and Indiana go see their familiar tough man to man defense straight man to man matchups to watch offered out there leaning in for the first shot and it drives up right in that Mike Ford Miss Jones got the rebound that's an advantage that Bob Knight hopes to dilute the inside power of the Tigers so one two two zone by Auburn so far now when you play in the zone you gotta think of one thing Steve offer getting outside that three-point range and looking for his Bob here on the left side with the ball it was open there didn't want to lean in smart as it knocked away and the first foul of the game went fouling could be factor in this game course when you play a zone like that it's a relatively passive zone you don't pick up a lot of clouds but Auburn's a club that likes to use everybody that's in that starting lineup over 30 minutes can't afford to get in foul trouble that bench is very very weak boards first personal foul for coach Smith Sonny Smith Auburn Tigers always come alive I see a ton of akkad the regional final last year smart [Music] [Applause] who's the most important man on the floor the guy with the ball crowd is quiet so far here in the Hoosier Dolls more in this time by Chris Morris 34 that is baskets on offensive rebound there's that athletic [Applause] Sinnott zoned Billy non-attacking there comes the steal white was attacking that goes into the easily that is a quick start kind of a sloppy fast there and now you now we've got a box in one Holloway gets into Thomas turns and stepped out of bounds Auburn Tigers off to a good start night is going to come up he he feels that crowds not in that ballgame either now you see Sonny Smith Shawn jump right off the bat he shows his own and he was boxing one so far it is a neutral crowd if you will Morris missing this time Garrett gets inside pensive rebound smart quickly pushers for mrs. with his jump shot for the left face for coming down on the pole [Applause] the buildings do to go up against Auburn away on the penetration and he traveled first before the contact the officials worked well together one of them thinking there might have been a foul he held up here's that block by Garrett coming off as the second man and he has given a dimension in Indiana hasn't had in quite some time is that great athletic quickness in the middle Jerez Gerald white from Augusta Georgia the point man Alford starts out on him inside his horace and he puts it away but this Auburn start here this one of the things that's kind of interesting there's a lot of switching Sonny Smith great screams down into the Auburn has taken 8 shots in Indiana home and 2 there's the third one for Dan 16:55 to goes first half where's the box of one again ran out even more a lot of room to the right and it in almost an offensive putback and it is for cleaning up you can see this Auburn muscle [Applause] stat for the Hoosiers here today rims in it [Applause] right three what on the general not into this game yet he's coming up on that floor real early the ball that's going to go against Indiana Oh Bobby not wanted to turn over on that particular play against Jones he didn't get it he's coming right up off the floor you know Brent it's very difficult to coach in a game on you have a funny prospectus force effective of the game you're looking at guys ankles instead of being able tough place to work a game for Coach white Bobby Knight tell me that foul away from the ball on Knights Center Gareth and putting that one down Valon at the top of the circle getting good shots pressuring the glass Sonny Smith is up on one knee he realizes that he's got a great crack if he can keep this up 13 for Auburn leads Indiana away puts it down [Applause] for the top of the circle and they oh this is Joan like Indiana looks like to have a hard time catching their breath Lily looks like they're emotionally you know sometimes you lose that breath is because you're so emotionally psyched up Auburn seems much more relaxed something to carry on the turnaround misfiring Thomas with an offensive [Applause] bored got caught on the sidelines that time with Thomas Thomas just having too much grab that rebound good box-out Morris's first person to team fouls against Auburn one against night and the Hoosiers working with his tooth back toes on the sidelines I'm a second-team all-big ten good solid performer and I think this year with Garrett moving in the middle that's really freed him up to have an outstanding season tell me what do you think about the Reid could he lumen what I'm surprised that so far is the fact that they're getting rebounding because they're able to run their office and getting a lot of great solid screens down inside which opens them up for them good rebounding on big shots which of the athletic ability we have seen it so far from this game Doctore the second home run by here in the first half burn 18 in DNA a 10-point lead and the crowd still quiet Calloway pulls up tonight makes it an eight don't be furious on this land going after the rocks buddy what you have is Auburn just in the full-court game just what this might be a situation where nitrile tape to get this crowd always man so far gank away buy more large beautiful Bobby's got to be thinking time he's waiting for a TV [Applause] that's why tonight is not calling the timeout he has four we stopped at three times ahead traveling on the turn [Applause] the stoppage in the timeout he will lecture the Hoosiers in his 2210 I'll burn streaking we want to show you some of the things that coach does Ford breaks free here for Auburn can't get the layup more powers over the top now quickly to Bob Knight who is up he's going to be screaming at the referees he's got to start working them not only get his team back in the game which he lectured over there on the sidelines during the timeout he wants this crowd to come is down 22:10 he has 14 minutes to go in the first half offensive rebounds with only one so far in the going parents Howard in the ballgame interesting switch for Sonny Spinz early woops screen inside again that was wore down screams get a lot of people I think night's gonna have to go big with this line that's pretty soon go away [Applause] ready for the field goal here Steve I'm coming the reason Silas is coming out why in the world is [Applause] one floor offense wasn't a lot of sex power you just checked in with the ball Peter Boyd Warfield didn't look screwed on that [Applause] in a triangle into offered over one it claims a you guys playing man three zones and Garrett will shoot a pair [Applause] can you see some pushing inside more still running his right now watch have eret reacts [Applause] they're at moving up at the free-throw line show you Garrett's reaction because that's what touched it away missing his first free-throw [Applause] and Garrett said in your face and that's what Moore came back after it it is 824 [Applause] but I think that was a smart move to take more out of the can't afford to lose them early white missing the three-point shot and inside it'll go to the Hoosiers against along with Billy Packer I'm Flatbush burger we're live at the Hoosier dome in Indianapolis in excess of 30,000 here this afternoon and they have watched Auburn jump to an early [Music] his best ball called out there he just to Thomas out a little bit for those deep here's all for trying to get in this [Applause] back to the box and one [Applause] versus one wrong offensively it is smart again crowd doesn't like this [Applause] [Music] [Applause] all this starting to really crash those boards [Applause] he's also getting very physical [Applause] so write down helo [Applause] Morris on a wiener jumping in [Applause] two plays ago you reaction here when he banged in a Terrence Howard pounded him back down by the baseline I think the little incident between Jared and more May it turned him on [Applause] 24:17 over the defense for two that's six here in the first half [Applause] Columbus Georgia let's check this D out there back to the truck angling to Gerald white on Calloway [Applause] without the ball and Auburn battling through those screens that Indiana likes to throw over here on the wings it'll be polishing [Applause] my fate line was cut off one is not there [Applause] [Music] is to three vacant make that three personal spawn Frank Ford [Music] over the limit Indiana shoot [Applause] Johnny Lynn he's the 6-2 junior guard Tennessee's what makes it tough now for Sonny [Applause] Indiana auto really the ella pound him inside now [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] free throws in this town [Applause] powered in the backcourt Watson quick reach in call no question it was a foul we look at the team files [Music] [Applause] no business falling man in the he's gotta fall into no chance for a steal [Applause] about to show up on the scoreboard [Applause] not only that but Indian a great free-throw shooting team shooting over 76% this young man going to the line on his career as average in 89 John Kahler [Applause] out of every 10 Liege to get a feel for India more [Applause] defense changes one two two zones this but he gets it [Music] to seven senators were up by 12 Johnny Smith realized defensively with such a small team on that floor always picking up the guard amazing Agartha miss [Applause] [Music] once you to zone found [Music] [Applause] [Music] not a real fast break in club a half-court game fouls it makovan but he traveled the politic Akali has allowed the Hoosiers to come back in this [Applause] team mark we've got a timeout [Music] earlier this year I asked Bob Knight if he can win the national title he said it didn't think yesterday I asked him what he thought now at tournament time if we could beat Iver and that's an indication to me that we could play with about anybody now we've had some indications Brent during the course of the year that we could play on given days with anybody but it's not a team that I look at and say hey every night we're going to go out we're really going to be tough to beat because we're just not quite good enough defensively he got tough in this game after down by 12 points they have been attacking the glass with some enthusiasm they start out this game and it really surprised me because normally they come the box pretty quick but they started that game there you can see that actually leading them rebounded 14 to 10 very unused now that back in his own 2/3 how strange it is to see fire night coach team drop into his own defects but he'll change it up [Applause] zone shellings burns it for the field eight points in the first half but Mike Jones pretty nice screen by Len sunny Smith's really having to go to a bench to eat his ballgame Garret [Applause] offer to the Southeastern Conference over Indiana Bobby showed up its own one time down the court and goes back to man-to-man there's more he's not bashful about taking a shot for the Auburn Center [Applause] last year when they had the great Chuck person so his inside game was even more that great dream shooter offered open [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] individually over the hotel came to the Hoosier dome without plays for the Pacers here at Indianapolis there you saw an indication how well Callaway can sit down defensively as way somebody white on a spin [Applause] [Music] first personal so a game summation here of this the opener of the Midwest regional at Indianapolis this afternoon Auburn breaking early and Indiana starting to shoot well from the field eight team fouls against Auburn would be the statistic that allowed the Hoosiers to close that lead they were shooting the one tomorrow Jones again left all alone at the line though his eyes went up the back of his head he can't believe somebody's still staring up his ceiling can't believe somebody could be that wide open often goes to a 1 p1 so [Applause] what's so tough about this for the first time those ears have closed to within four to be a shooting smile this time Jones stepping out Garrett trying to play back inside almost like a little one-man zone and Bobby gets upset when fellas get that why don't finish just gonna talk [Applause] get over to sunny spent the tour I mean words at midcourt at night is saying get off [Applause] Sonny Smith [Applause] entertaining have a nice little conversation when he saw it going in the other direction you're right but he didn't he's been in some wars in the LCC he's not going to [Music] [Applause] Jones hits the free-throw that's 11 points for Mike Jones [Applause] we'll show you what precipitated that outburst when we're gonna stop eating clay 36:30 back to the box and one that's gonna yes sir [Applause] those against Oliver this was the incident sort of checking restrained by the referee Knight is standing up on the points for Jonesy's burnin then it's not often that a man can step out and shoot at that range he hangs inside right through the box [Applause] for those inside screens [Applause] [Music] [Applause] one step whistle washing to the floor result of still more turn over here's the collision was clearing but I don't believe that call was correct at all now if you are being screened you just run right through the man you can shake off we use this up around [Applause] Sonny Smith [Applause] you see Terrence Howard going to sit he took some shot at [Applause] watch this shot [Applause] you cannot run right most there whatsoever was you did not that was a good case for it right there [Applause] [Applause] [Music] Jones but that two-set inside had the good block and if he have not come down with his wrist he slapped at the balls he would have seven in the file that hurts Bobby Knights attack because he doesn't have that great [Applause] tonight the both teams hurt by fall problems here in the first half and despite the fact that Garrett has to sit down there are only five team fouls against the Hoosiers [Applause] garrets 233 rebound quite sometimes 16 points for Jones Pulver that if you remember it 41 back in the box and one Jason Steve off [Applause] two fouls on Jeff Ward things that so tough to play junk defenses against Indiana as Steve Alford his patient and seeing these type of defense are so often in his career [Applause] we're car thirty-five [Applause] that's a wall although Sonny Smith Wanda gave one he'd like to protect a little bit of those as two key starters out of there you can see how offensively he's really got a problem now he's going so he really is small and his own on the floor gerald excuse me Jones is still out there [Applause] gets his own mess check it at the fall [Applause] first it could have gone against either Alford or Eyal the Alford has started the Hoosiers around offensively he has scored 12 of their last 17 points as they climb back into this game here in the first half [Applause] and the man out of bound Western Kentucky yesterday scored it out he's got strong today you have missed a hit ball we'll give these coaches a TV timeout we're inside of the 4:45 [Applause] this place went to look for the Hoosiers take the lead [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and Indiana only has 16 paws so far this half second how many team to see now Brent go to that little huddle all five men talking about their defensive count on a lot she's used those mini timeouts where they can pull two men sometimes even five men over to the sidelines the thought door Oh shoes have been shooting the 101 since the 11 as I pointed out 76% free-throw shooting team something you really like come tournament time you got it [Applause] Jones about the only threat on the inside here he's been taking jumpers from the outside [Applause] [Applause] [Music] so we've got to climb out a score in the lead and 43 to 40 Billy let's take a look at all four well all burns playing the boxing one I watched Steve Alford over in the right hand corner constantly on the movie very seldom handles the ball with the dribble now here he comes and here comes the man chasing but what happens Jones realizes he's unguarded out there he steps outside of his area in the box and one Thomas realizing there's a hole there steps right in that's why it's so tough to play the junk defenses against Steve off Billy we certainly recognize the head official Rick will Kyle he was involved in our instant replay controversy down at Norman between the suitors and UNLV Chuck wine cop in Vienna and rusty Harry's at Durham North Carolina are working with wool who lives in Boone Iowa [Applause] Bartlett stays in a box in one I had offered movie [Applause] was in the lane shut the phones passion [Applause] sunny Alan want to use a little bit caulk realizing his most of his firepower on has been Sonny Smith sleeping Jones maneuvering through the foul he'll shoot a pair and that's two on I pretty good coaching job by sunny over there Brett you figure all that firepower he had down early in the game and when all of his daughters are guys that play over 30 minutes he really had to pull some straws here to stay in this was you know against San Diego Auburn was forced to the wall and Jones scored 32 points in that game the Tigers last points to this 117 for the first half so the six seven sophomore from Columbus Georgia [Applause] replaced truck person he's not but he has a great future this club has to mr. basketballs of Georgia one [Applause] [Applause] 42 to 50 to go first half [Applause] there's another screen down inside another fall on offer [Applause] down in here but the other ones picking up all the fouls doing the bagging coming up next on CBS Game two of our triple header rebels against Kansas State or no today into taking on TCU versus Xavier most of you will see the running level [Applause] Sonny's head [Applause] most of his calls have been against it looked that way to me 47 over Bobby's been very quiet on the dances late [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the athletes inside to score the officials conferring under [Applause] Steve offered I think it did in his foot but he didn't want to admit it [Applause] right draws the charge so that's the first taking anyone shots all year so you can see that Sonny Smith is down the line [Applause] the six in that shooting for the Indians big advantage there [Applause] inside of the crazy house coming back solid now I guess Sonny Smith decide he's a synaptic people my pension try to save that five problem hoping he can get a full second half [Applause] other currencies good shooter solid foundation understands the game Bobby nights concepts Oh don't expect them to make many mistakes [Applause] banana turn around 14 points in the end up by seven then a 21-point swim here in the first now score it for Jones the foul what a first-half Jones's head that shows you what a great player he is - because I'll is a solid defender they follow as follows [Applause] he's been in double-figures 17 out of the last 18 games so this is nothing strange because 21 [Applause] and they stay in a box of one [Applause] Tigers Jerald white on the pull-up [Applause] smart brings it back up [Applause] Billy took the shot white pulls up takes the jumper [Applause] dawn after does a good job he was hit before yeah I really didn't Emily came early but he hung with it [Applause] pointing out to one of the officials where his man was hammered that's get back to the start of the scan remember that one scene we showed you off a Miss Jam got up and started working over the officials that [Applause] [Music] since then things have gone pretty much in his favor in this game as far as fouls are concerned now Sonny Smith as Derek Denison indie game Brent and he's going to pick on Steve Alford a little in the man situation in his fly that's three different guys have chased offered in his first half gray-smith we'll try it on that sprained ankle he's number 42 just gave it up turning some military [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Shalom's again show he's the only other during the last seven minutes almost there that one [Applause] you know as he went to the glass it was called against them you know which way they walk [Applause] that was a good steal the inside then just hanging around back there was able to pick it off that's the second layup that he's missed so far jillee everything underneath down here is going against opera they're just simply not you fall down I can't that one-sided look at that stat sheet [Applause] [Music] we've got 14 fouls in Stauber near in the first half we have eight Hillman has checked in we're shooting the bonus at the 11 minute mark here it is 53-foot [Applause] where's Lily not a good shot but a big one it's beautiful oh you better believe it they were looking inside Knight was down by four [Music] Jim Nantz and James Brown right after this message and a word from your local station [Music] CBS Sports coverage of the NCAA basketball championship is sponsored by US Armed Forces it's a

basketball championship is sponsored by Mazda cars and trucks the more you look the more you like Mazda value New York light to help you get the most out of life and by Bud Light everything else is just a life we'll start the second half with Indiana leading Auburn 53-48 here are some of the numbers from the first half at the free-throw line there was a big edge for Indiana 15 of 18 Auburn shot only seven free throws in that half rebounding Auburn started out strong and in the Hoosiers came on and wound up with a 21 15 edge now look at the field goal shooting I've earned 43% for the field Indiana 67 Billy we got a couple things to talk about number one what about the gamble by coach Sonny Smith of Auburn over there to keep three of his starters one with three and the other with two fouls apiece on the bench for the bulk of the first half that's a huge gamble for the coach it really was and I would imagine it's sunny if he looked up at that scoreboard right now with five points down have to be happy he only got 17 minutes of playing time had a two of his starters and and that is something that I if you'd have told me before the game I figure he'd been blown out by now it's very difficult for him if he doesn't have all five men on the floor Billy you notice just that these are not breakaway rims so he asked the two coaches Bob Knight what about the rims and some of the hard rebounds we get here how hard are they well these rims are like pouring two pounds of salt into one pound sack I mean they it's a really hard tight rim set into the backboard they're not breakaway rims and they're about as hard a rim as I've ever seen I do feel that there is some problems with that because we play with the breakaway rims and we so-called basket sucking type deals you know where they suck the ball into the basket I felt like these rims were very tight we had layups going in and out last night I would agree with that hundred well you know we're looking at something that the rim is actually 5/8 in diameter it's 18 inches Dyan [Music] through there but there's a lot of difference between that soft criminal hard it's not a breakaway [Music] surprising and regarding well after the first round of the NCAA tournament the Big East Dillon beat the ACC 2 & 4 with North Carolina and Duke lovers yes and I think that in addition to teams gone for the national championship there's an awful lot of conference pride that takes place in the NCAA tournament by the bragging rights there so Dave Gavitt in the Big East and Wayne Duke who happens to be here today and the Big Ten have to be very proud right now another thing I want all that ranting and raving that some folks do about the home court advantage and it shouldn't be allowed in the first round again it didn't hold true read you a be knocked off down in Birmingham in Tucson Syracuse had to struggle at home and of course last year they were kicked off I think if you get neutral officiate are you insane it will help offset the home crowd advantage you don't always get that during the conference season they can be influenced to be spoke you know another thing about that homecourt grin and I know every coach in American rather play at home in a way but during tournament time sometimes it puts a lot of pressure on that home team everybody expected him to win [Applause] 53:48 Indiana same starting lineup comes back out here [Applause] so the starters back on the floor for Sonny Smith's Auburn Tigers three from Alfred is short Thomas with an offensive [Applause] you get a little principle of verticality of that call it was interesting that Bob knife came out and made a point of shaking hands with Sonny Smith before this half started call that a walk on the inside Rhett before he went up to the shot great man-to-man again by Indiana [Applause] Garret on the move for the Hoosiers [Applause] don't see Steve Alford missin many of those [Applause] Sonny Smith saying how about a foul in the inside [Applause] again Indiana man though you it [Applause] remember that out-of-bounds play Kentucky Oklahoma grant just a little screen away or epsilon over [Music] how easy it seems to be to get that ball down inside the more Skerritt plan right behind him Garrett's got to be careful about files also I thought that was very important when he went out of the ballgame he's got three on him very important too [Applause] tonight has these dance frame there behind the glass waving their hands here at those are you know the perspective here is tough too anytime you play in these big arenas like this that background that go far away as opposed to a normal court check out this defense there back to the triangle and to Callaway and offer being autumn animated short Jones rebounded [Music] three not a smart flake Brian Thomas close it up [Applause] that's 13 turnovers by the Hoosiers Chris Morris hadn't been able to get started offensive Leben I think those fouls put him in a position where he can't get into the flow of the game see if Auburn tries to go to him as handling the ball right now use it up the white center of will be shot at Callaway the basket it's gonna go against Indiana that's a big foul foul Wow Bobby Knight really knows he needs his that little [Music] they'll take him out and come with Todd Meyer second team newcomer of the year in the big ten this year second team all cop is performer and it's something we talk about the vowels the free-throws go on one way and yet the biggest foul of the game goes against Indiana I guess the braixen let me seem that way though [Applause] of course that defense penetration [Applause] first on Meyer we're trying to get over in time good penetration by white last play is so great when you've got a guy that can come out on the delayed break like golf or tennis sit back there in a three-point range just be patient get the good dish inside and then throw it back out [Applause] [Music] white release had physical problems this year preseason activity the glue to this ballclub [Applause] they were down by 14 the early minutes of this game [Applause] [Music] [Applause] another great game against Ohio State home offensive rebound Morris won't stay [Applause] [Music] but Morris having a rough day inside as two times down the floor yet been able to get an easy shot up pretty good blocking out bite [Applause] okay I hear you here you go [Applause] Sonny Smith takes a timeout [Applause] the last time Indiana won the national title Landon Turner was Bob Knight's senator and he probably is the reason why he's still coaching Turner was involved in an automobile accident and paralyzed he was in the huddle during that time out during that summer that considered leaving up in a wheelchair [Applause] the rest of the players too and he has continued ever since as the loser coach as a matter of fact there probably would have worked for CBS television as a basketball analyst that was the job off when he was considering at the truth he remains very close to the Turner family Brett they got one now [Applause] [Music] three Indiana [Applause] [Music] [Applause] situation here to pop it back out the Steve over to double-team Steve was set ready for that rocker motion and that jumper is and he never got the ball back three team fouls against the Hoosiers [Applause] Morris but the first one Morris has had it for to fall for him here in his second half both always had to others who is right inside all fruits gonna recognize his defense Brett and get outside for the three-pointer against this one 31 smarts got him area those type of songs and he [Applause] to the college level good hands [Music] Sonny Smith nice roll here [Applause] three one so on often wants it to swing it white or light side for the layup white one to fall on the Rep gets no call [Applause] they changed their defense again to go back to the triangle and to [Applause] I'm Steve Alford is so patient isn't he sure is patient clinic there's Callaway [Applause] they're there to scoring against it Smith cannot trade baskets with the Hoosiers his defense will have to Jones who has been off the money here in the second Jones will have to get some of his teammates involved [Applause] 7250 [Applause] around [Applause] the Edit [Applause] why couldn't get it to roll [Applause] [Music] Thomas on the right offers [Applause] see the team region will be right [Music] la steve alford does so many things well well here's one of the things that a lot of young players ought to keep an eye on he's going to take the ball down on a semi break he does not try to penetrate all the way but pulls up at that foul line he gave a little ball fake and head fake looking like he was going to Thomas which really sealed the defense to the point that they were mesmerized and he pulled up and took that jump shot really a key play for that guy if he can't penetrate all the way to pull up at that foul line he has scored 25 about his quiet at 25 you'll ever see and he hasn't had to go to the three-point shot that much although everyone he put up there it seems like he's made Indiana defenses held Auburn to five of 15 with that tour shooting statistic that you just saw the screen Albarn has really not gotten in the flow of their offense here in the second half looks like they're in the pattern a little bit better now more a little bit of that Charles Barkley big body so that when he does that spin on you he picks up a couple of feet charge the toy triangle in - you can hear the players screaming at what the defense is these three fellas playing zone to chase in there man man-to-man then comes out for the Tigers [Applause] port septic Genisys [Music] [Applause] [Music] you notice when he comes back to the [Applause] ready release that three-point shot a three-point shot a little staff that's kind of interesting Indiana is the only tea see a field the shooting over 50% from the three-point range of the team course a lot of this credited all who is 6 of 8 from that range of this game I said before I can't remember the ones he did there was a whistle before smart shot [Music] [Applause] Thomas [Applause] - push north of to start all this off [Applause] it's kind of interesting needs to conference situation [Applause] here is what happened on the inside is being pushed by Thomas Morris stepped in and had words with him but Bennett you saw the push the no question that tom has pushed more for the back [Applause] [Applause] despite for every inch of ground [Applause] of his own which allowed smart to come right down [Applause] we're here at the Hoosier dome we start our triple header Cup round two of the NCAA cannot see Indiana was down 20 for 10 in the first half now they have seized control as they did with a 43 24th verse of the remainder of the first half they have led ever since and really not been challenged overall assessment of the well I think in the end as one of the most solid teams in the country and I felt that throughout the course of this season it is going to take outstanding efforts from a real good ballclub to knock them off if anybody does I mean this is a championship caliber Club has not scored this afternoon hirato number 15 Thomas those is it smart gives you that spark that you need there's some individual things away from first field goal it's a nine seventy-nine to set ten minutes to go go back to the box and one now chasing off for the [Applause] not this time Jones rebounds Auburn [Applause] white kicked and went out of bounds but white went up in the air that time we were talking about point guards pulling up at that foul line and making a good play he went up in the air Oh often Indiana players lay more sits down and Morris checks back in [Applause] White's three [Applause] inside the core [Applause] to win seven that was a great defensive play by offered and Ford I don't know how he kept his eyes on that ball Jones Anderson when you think about it you wonder how is Auburn this coast two of their key starters got a lot of foul trouble the hang down short on the two [Applause] [Music] summary of this Midwest Regional activity would look like this Indiana with 42 points out of its backcourt and shooting 64% from the field holding Auburn to 41% with Steve Alford leading the way brent team fouls for offered only three remember the first half that india that was in at this point was already into one and one actually at the 11-minute for Morris takes off her to the floor [Applause] trying to get a screen and at Waterside put the tall man out officer but are free to move right around those screens Boris comes over the shoulder and he kicked off word on the way down really unnecessary cheap shot there [Applause] Tina [Applause] you said he would be a Kiev for Bob neither News a Bob Knight went to junior college route because he felt that's where he could pick up the kind of athlete that you need in the 80s to win national championship [Music] [Applause] minutes ago more well yes [Applause] smart committee his second personal the more reminds me he's not the player chars but Charles Barkley was but more reminds me a lot of the low-cost and has those soft hands has read about Berkeley the other day as a matter of fact and with all his power and ever realize he cannot calm the ball that's why you never see those one-handed slam dunks of his Morris he always gets so high up above the basket ragin but see the defense again they have more strenght against all [Applause] he's give him a lot of body but he's not used to say to the man around stream he'll have a tough time sir he said hey slow down it's like a minefield when you go out after all [Applause] [Music] friend is that you're going to get a lot of wide rebound he can't play about there boys can fourth personal foul you know Horace has got to stop reach he's tall enough to prevent office of offered very seldom forces a jump shot so his job is just to stay in position not worry about trying to make blocks they go to half-court trap [Applause] it's really interesting to chart how little steve alford has the ball in his hands talking about a guy that scored over two thousand points in his career number one scorer in the history of Indiana basketball now I score in the history of the Big Ten pass Rick mounted a seven 3-pointers today his ten attempts over all 10 of 15 from the floor it looks like a choir board that is a lot tougher kid than his looks Joey didn't back away you know you see scouting reports Steve Alford one I saw from Marty Blake I had to laugh says all he's a great offensive player as auger and ships it inside the court is it offers a great great offensive punch but I'd like to see him guard Michael Jordan well Marty [Applause] well did you say starting or stopping hey Horace [Applause] bring Bobby Knight up I can't believe that call either mr. Knight that was a no-call place [Applause] listen no call here smarts under the basket plays over [Applause] more to reduce Indiana's and both times they could Sonny Smith give that rep a little time on the backside [Applause] it's trapping half-court now and you know who this is going to be on the weak side if they getting the ball [Applause] they work on the delay game so much that they spread you out very patient or write these Spence takes a time [Applause] [Music] I'm Brent Musburger we hope you're enjoying this one as we start our tripleheader coverage Indiana leading Auburn here in the Midwest region general with four timeouts remaining and coach Smithey la verne' is down to one Kelly what about the Tigers can they make one last well it's there's a lot of time Brent we've got the clock as you know in college basketball I don't think you have to make that last-ditch effort the the figure that you've got to make it all at once with a three-point play down ten there's a lot of time to come back I think what they've got to do is become more solid defensively because if they spread out and chase Indiana Indiana one of the best in the country at being able to spread you on the half-court bases pull their offense up above the foul line and go for those nice plays like they did last time into Thomas [Applause] who has been over on the end and a bench that's picking up his fourth not on the floor smart [Applause] explosive athlete that could just pick it down inside against other athlete we forget some of these other athletes when we praise Alford all the time [Applause] got the soft hands only here you have don't press wrap it into corners Galloway gets it to aisle market lost it coming out [Applause] [Music] we tried to split the trapped he wants him to get [Music] miss Lilly Hertz with Morris going out because he had the size [Applause] on you'll play with four files now free-throw line she's smart as 6/1 the JC transfer a junior Indiana he's out of battle ooh Louisiana wouldn't he love to play in a final four game down Morris of thirteen point five point four game score did not have much of a day-to-day [Applause] [Music] he has fun with them what breaks their back right now is a three-pointer by all [Applause] runs it down you spread your defense out offer to get in position they're man-to-man now funny Alan scenario and I always going to sunny on you know that's the nevada-reno coach it just got fired up the employee instruct on my mind [Applause] smart is looking for a 16th assist I was three seconds nice cookie hit it [Applause] thinking about some three-point shots from Auburn now Brett they're going to make a run 10-point deficit you've got to shoot something out there for short [Applause] coming back [Applause] they walk got the ball court right in his shoulders I mean in his hips could not get rid of it 2:53 the left in regulation indiana leading auburn by 10 points that'll be aimed to of our triple header most of you will see the shark Jerry Tarkanian on the run and rebels and of course many are in the Midwest will watch the Fighting Irish movie back to cover the Duke Xavier game coach Pete willing pretty good job with that Xavier team open man is [Applause] afternoon believe mr.
