Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Indiana's all-time leading scorer during the 20th century was the catalyst for some great teams. Who is he?

Answer: Calbert Cheaney

Calbert was the leading scorer for four years at IU and guided the Hoosiers to the Final Four in 1992. The Evansville native scored 2,613 points from 1990 through 1993.

Answer: Jimmy Rayl

Rayl had 56 vs. Minnesota on January 27, 1962, and then again the next year against Michigan State on February 23, 1963.

Answer: Alan Henderson

Alan Henderson had 1,979 points from 1992-95, and was sixth on IU's all-time scoring list. Graham, Benson and Tolbert each played much of their careers with high scoring teammates. Graham was with Cheaney all four years, Benson played with May for three years and Tolbert was alongside Woodson for three years and Isiah for two.

Henderson played with Cheaney and Graham his first two seasons and Damon Bailey for three years.

Answer: Tennessee

It was a 73-71 victory over the Volunteers, on March 15, 1974, in the CCA Tourney that started the ball rolling. IU would go on to win that Tournament with an 85-60 win over USC in the title game. The Hoosiers had lost to Michigan on March 11th 75-67, in a game that determined who would represent the Big Ten in the NCAA Tournament.

5. After IU's perfect season in the 1975-76 season, what team was the first to defeat IU in the next season?

Answer: Toledo

Indiana lost to the Rockets 59-57 at Toledo. It was IU second game of the year, Bob Knight's club had beaten South Dakota easily the previous week. For Toledo, the game must have been huge. They not only ended our streak, but got a little revenge. Indiana had beaten Toledo in overtime 73-72 three years previous in the CCA Tourney, and then again 92-70 in Assembly Hall during the 1974-75 season.

Answer: Scott May

Scott May had 9 steals against the Wolverines on February 7, 1976.

7. Which of these players was the all-time steals leader at IU, with 180?

Answer: Dane Fife

Dane had 180 from 1999-2002. Dane was never credited with more than 5 steals in any game in his career. Steve Alford held the record for several years with 178.

Answer: Alan Henderson

The interesting note about this isn't the fact that Henderson got 1,091 boards in four years to set the mark. Although, that is pretty impressive. The fact that Bellamy got 1,088 in just three years, speaks to how dominate the future Hall of Famer was for Indiana in the early 1960s.

9. This Hoosier great was not only the leading scorer in the NCAA title game in which he played, he also set the mark for most free throws made in a career at IU. Who is he?

Answer: Don Schlundt

Schlundt was truly one of Indiana's greatest players. He made 826 free throws between 1952-1955. By the way, he had 30 points in the 1953 Championship game against Kansas. That was Indiana's second NCAA title.

10. Bob Knight's Hoosiers set a margin of victory record on December 27, 1998, with a 56 point win. Who did IU defeat to set the mark?

Answer: Drake

Indiana beat the Bulldogs 102-46 in 1998. It is interesting to note that IU beat San Francisco one week before the Drake game 106-54, a 52 point victory. That was the fifth largest margin of victory ever.
