Hoosier Headlines for November 30, 2009.

Hoosiers Looking To ‘Bring It Right' (The News-Sentinel - Fort Wayne IN)
"These next three games would be challenging for No. 1 Kansas let alone an IU team about as far removed from a No. 1 ranking as you can get. Maryland is the weak link (it has lost its last two games, to Cincinnati and Wisconsin), but is still 4-2 and was ranked No. 23 last week. Pitt is 5-1. Kentucky is 6-0 and ranked fifth."

"By no stretch of the imagination are we playing great," Crean admitted. "But we are playing hard. We’re playing with a real purpose. ... It’s gotta get done by the rebounding. It’s gotta get done with the defense."

Focus on defense pays off for Indiana (The Journal Gazette, Fort Wayne, Ind.)
"Defense was the theme this week at Indiana’s practices. That translated to a season high in steals and turnovers for the Hoosiers in a 90-72 victory over Northwestern State."

Rivers runs things for IU (The Courier-Journal)
"Jeremiah Rivers took just two shots for Indiana on Saturday in 36 minutes. But as the junior transfer from Georgetown proved, there's a lot more to the game than just scoring. The point guard handed out 10 assists and led his team with seven rebounds as the Hoosiers defeated Northwestern State 90-72 before a crowd of 11,128 at Assembly Hall."
