No. 14 Indiana Needs Big Game From Gordon Against Ohio State
Hoosiers seek second straight impressive road win on Sunday
Feb. 9, 2008
Indiana freshman Eric Gordon has probably already faced the most venomous road crowd of his college career, but that doesn't mean Ohio State fans will be welcoming him with open arms.
Gordon and the 14th-ranked Hoosiers seek a second straight impressive road win on Sunday when they face the Buckeyes, whose only loss in their last 39 home games came against a team that was ranked No. 1 in the country.
The Hoosiers (19-3, 8-1 Big Ten) are coming off an 83-79 double-overtime win on Thursday at Illinois, where Gordon was loudly booed and heckled because he took back a verbal commitment to attend Illinois, instead enrolling at Indiana.
Gordon, an Indianapolis product like recent Ohio State stars Greg Oden and Mike Conley Jr., had only one point in the first half, shot just 3-of-13 for the game and committed seven turnovers. However, he finished with 19 points and hit a game-tying 3-pointer late in regulation to spark the Hoosiers.
"I wasn't really worried about it," Gordon said. "I was just trying to get a win. This was a big road win for us. We have to move on to the next game."
