A great game by White led Houston to a 102-84 defeat of Indiana. Although Indiana certainly planned for White in their pre-game strategy, stopping him during the game turned out to be more of a challenge. "We thought we knew how to beat Houston, but we were dead wrong," said Indiana coach Coach Hitch. "We figured we'd try to put them out of their game plan and try to limit White's effectiveness, but it simply didn't happen - he was just too good."

Said White, "I knew I had a target on my back, and took it as a challenge. If they're going to change their game plan to stop me, it gives me that much more desire to step up and perservere. Anyway, they know what I can do now, so we'll see if they dare try this strategy again." Tune in next time.

Houston was led by White (14 points, 9 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks), Groninger (14 points, 13 boards, 1 assists), Robertson (5 points, 10 assists, 3 steals). Indiana was led by Gray (19 points, 12 boards, 0 assists), Sanders (16 points, 1 assists, a steal, 2 blocks), Sigler (13 points, 7 boards, 1 assists, a block).
