GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
When Eric Gordon took a hard foul earlier this week against Tennessee State, Kelvin Sampson and the Hoosier faithful were pretty sure he'd be fine and available to play on Saturday against rival Kentucky. They were wrong. After barely being able to move around during Friday practice, it was decided that Gordon would sit out.The Hoosiers didn't need him anyway.
You may not remember this after being dazzled by the freshman Gordon so far this season, but the Hoosiers are a pretty good team without him, and they reminded us all of that fact with their 70-51 win over Kentucky in Bloomington on Saturday afternoon. It was only Indiana's third win in their last 14 games against Kentucky in the annual border war.
In Gordon's place, and fresh off of a suspension, Jordan Crawford got his first career start opposite his brother, Joe Crawford, of Kentucky. Jordan scored 20 points to lead Indiana, most of which came in a key stretch to end the first half. With D.J. White on the bench in foul trouble, Crawford led the Hoosiers on a 15-5 run to take control of the game. He also hit four free throws in the final 30 seconds of the half to give Indiana a 37-25 advantage at the break.
The Hoosiers only built on to their lead from there, but more importantly, Jordan earned his status as his parents favorite son.
Speaking of D.J. White, he had a pretty decent effort as well, scoring 16 points and grabbing 13 rebounds. He also surpassed the 1,000 point milestone in his college career.
As for Gordon's status, the team expects him to be back for their next game against Western Carolina on December 15th. The week off should be plenty of time for his back and hip to heal.
