College Basketball Roundup : Sidelines to Headlines for Jadlow in Indiana Win

Todd Jadlow has been riding the bench, but when Coach Bob Knight put him back in the lineup it proved to be another stroke of genius.

Jadlow collected 32 points and 13 rebounds Monday night, leading No. 17 Indiana to a 104-89 Big Ten victory over ninth-ranked Iowa at Bloomington, Ind.

“I started him because we needed the inside scoring that we didn’t have in Saturday’s game (a loss to Illinois),� Knight said. “Jadlow did a good job inside. Our players got Jadlow the ball. He’s had these kinds of games before. It’s just a matter of him getting his mind into the game and he did that tonight.�

Jadlow, who failed to score in 30 minutes in against Illinois and brought a conference mark of 38.5% from the free throw line into the game, made 18 consecutive free throws before he missed his last 2.

Indiana (17-5 overall, 7-1 in the Big Ten) built a 13-point lead that Iowa (15-4, 3-3) cut to 77-75 with 8:01 left. Eric Anderson hit a field goal and Jay Edwards sank 2 free throws as the Hoosiers pulled away by holding the Hawkeyes scoreless for 4 1/2 minutes.

St. John’s (12-7, 4-5) trailing, 84-73, with 51 seconds left, rallied on 3-point shots by Terence Mullin and Matt Brust, but fell short.
