Coach Hitch got the most out of Indiana today, the result being a 105-90 win over Brooklyn. "They did everything right," said Brooklyn coach Bob. "That's really all there was to the game. They made the best of the chances we gave them, and didn't give us any really good shots of our own. My hat is off to Coach Hitch; he did a heck of a job."

Said Coach Hitch, "It was one of those games every coach dreams of. Everything went as hoped. Especially Cato - without his effort it would have been a tight game."

Indiana was led by Cato (25 points, 2 assists, a block), Mccoy (17 points, 8 boards, 1 assists), Henderson (15 points, 6 boards, 0 assists). Brooklyn was led by Owens (20 points, 6 boards, 7 assists, 3 steals, 4 blocks), Tucker (18 points, 1 assists, 3 steals, a block), Hargrove (5 points, 10 boards, 1 assists, 2 steals, a block).
