Bounces back against Purdue Hood-Schifino logged 16 points (8-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 79-74 win over Purdue. Impact Hood-Schifino overcame what initially looked to be a serious knee injury in the second half and ended up logging several key buckets to lock in the victory for the now-ranked Hoosiers. Indiana now moves to 7-5 in Big Ten play after knocking off the No. 1-ranked team in the country, and the recent success has largely been due to Hood-Schifino, who has filled in at point guard while senior Xavier Johnson has been sidelined by a knee injury. It was also a major bounce-back effort for the freshman, who was just 1-of-14 from the field in a trip to Maryland last Tuesday.
