Opponent Preview: DePauw Tigers

[Jason Svoboda]

Indiana State kicks off it's 2007-08 men's basketball exhibition schedule against DePauw University, a private liberal arts school located about a half hour up I-70 in Greencastle, Indiana. The Tigers finished up the 2006-07 season with an impressive 22-6 mark, finishing 12-2 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Coming into this game, DePauw will be seeking a new identity having graduated four seniors off of last season's roster, including 3 of their top 5 scorers including their top overall scorer Austin Brown, an athletic 6-foot-4 wing who averaged 14.8 ppg on 53.3% shooting in 31 minutes of action. One bright spot for the Tigers this year will be 6-foot-6 senior post man Stephen Schott, who averaged 11.6 ppg and 7.9 rpg last season. They also return their top playmaker, 5-foot-8 point guard Mike Moore, who added about 11 points and 5 assists per contest.

ISU/Depauw Series

What's the history between these two schools? Ever play each other before? That Fenlon name sounds familiar...did he used to coach @ Rose-Hulman?

:sycamores:

I'd have to look that up. As for Fenlon, yes, he did coach at Rose Hulman back in the late 80s if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Sycamore624]

Felon coached at Rose from 1987-1991 going 53-26.

ISU and DePauw have actualy played eah other 68 times before in mens hoops. DePauw holds a 38-30 edge in the overall series.

Old ICC Nemesis

If I remember correctly, when we were BOTH ICC members, they were quite competitive with the Sycamores...especially in their HOME den! Perhaps DUNANE KLUEH could be interviewed on this topic, possiblly offering HIS personal reflections during the highly successful 60's grudge matches w/ our "upper echelon" ray: neighbors.

Notre Dame

Here is a interesting stat.....DePauw holds a 10-1 record against Notre Dame...lol..

Why haven't we had a game against Notre Dame? I would think they would want to play us.

 

[Sycamore624]

Notre Dame won't even play Purdue in hoops.
