SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1988. nnn IU rips 2-7 for most lopsided Bucket win run 5 Purdue 5 By STAN SUTTON Staff Writer WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Purdue let it all hang out in the Old Oaken Bucket game against Indiana yesterday.

Unfortunately for the Boilermakers, they then failed to make it on fourth down. They also were guilty of pass interference when Indiana had a third-and-16, and even fumbled an onside kick and a bouncing punt Indiana needed little of the hosts' gra-ciousness, outrushing Purdue 392-17 and controlling the ball all but seven minutes of the second half. Everything that had gone so wrong in losses to Illinois and Michigan State corrected itself. "There was a little vengeance out there," IU offensive guard Don Shrader said. "We had a lot of frustrations the last couple of weeks and we really let it out They just happened to be in the way." Purdue tried hard for a quick knockout and landed some haymakers.

The first six minutes featured two Purdue turnovers and one by IU. Indiana's Marc Ferry forced a fumble on Purdue's first series, then the Boilermakers deflected one of Tom Bolyard's passes and Jim Schwantz inter III i'CaV-' I Mia LjUnaaa turned over the ball six times in the first half, and IU (7-3-1) converted five into scores en route to a 52-7 rout The Hoosiers earned a trip to Memphis, to play South Carolina in the Liberty Bowl Dec. 28. Never before had IU beaten Purdue so badly or scored so many points against its instate rival. The most lopsided victory for IU previously was 37-0 in 1917, and the most points the Hoosiers had scored against the Boilermakers was in a 38-31 win in 1971.

The early minutes of the 91st Bucket Battle had all the ingredients of a great intrastate rivalry: teeth-chattering tackles, trick plays and a couple of minor Vk XX 4 Indiana's Dave Ane hoisted the ball into the air and let out a yell after recovering a Purdue fumble. underdog, fights. Purdue, a 1614-point cepted. Finally Purdue punt receiver Marc Foster juggled a bouncing punt and the Hoosiers' Dave Ane recovered. Indiana converted that into the first of Anthony Thompson's three touchdowns, his sixth three-TD game of the year.

Stanford's 20th-ranked basketball team will present a major roadblock for Indiana University tonight in the quarterfinals of the Big Apple National Invitation Tournament The unranked Hoosiers overpowered Illinois State 83-48 while Stanford overcame Montana 79-63 in first-round games Friday night. The winner of tonight's 7 o'clock EST clash in Assembly Hall will play Wednesday night in New York's Madison Square Garden.

Other quarterfinal games today are Georgia at North Carolina, Wyoming at Syracuse and Xavier at Missouri. Stanford lost but one starter from its 21-12 club of last season and has two outstanding players in 6-foot-4 guard Todd Lichti and 6-8 forward Howard Wright. Lichti, one of the final 16 who tried out for the U. S. Olympic team, averaged 20.1 points for the Pacific-10's fourth-place finisher.

He set or tied eight school records and led the team in 13 offensive categories. Wright, an exceptional leaper, averaged 15.7 points and 7.7 rebounds. Stanford and Indiana met last season in the championship game of the Hoosier Classic in Indianapolis, with the Hoosiers winning 83-73. Three players no longer with the team Rick Calloway, Dean Garrett and Keith Smart scored 62 of IU's points in that game. Lichti scored 22 points and Wright 20 as Stanford won easily at Montana, jumping to a 41-28 halftime edge and leading 64-40 at one point.

The Cardinal was the only road team to win in the NIT's opening round. Stanford, under second-year coach Mike Montgomery, had its first 20-victory season in 46 years in 1987-88, shooting 52 percent SPRINGFIELD, Mass. For Eddie Sutton the afternoon began with your basic season-opening elbow to the gut: You ought to be out of your job, pal. ESPN analyst Dick Vitale found Sutton on the sidelines 30 minutes before the University of Kentucky prepared to open the season against Duke in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Classic yesterday and told the coach he intended to begin the national telecast with a call for Sutton's removal as the UK basketball coach. And when the red light came on, Vitale delivered, prompting at least a dozen calls to ESPN offices, half of them critical of the announcer.

"The stigma (from the NCAA investigation) surrounding the school is too great" Vitale said afterward. "The school is embarrassed, the state is embarrassed, college basketball is embarrassed. "Guilty or innocent they need a fresh start down there. If the athletic director (iff Hagan) deserved to lose his job, so does Sutton." For Sutton the afternoon ended with your basic season-opening blowout Duke 80, Kentucky 55. Put the record book down, folks.

Not since Dec. 18, 1926 Calvin Coolidge in the White House, F. Scott Fitzgerald on the bookshelves, jazz flowing in nightclubs have the Wildcats been treated so disrespectfully in a season opener. Cincinnati pounded UK 48-10 that time. The panoramic scene at the Springfield Civic Center provided a taste test of what to expect this season: Duke reigns as the No.

1 college team in the land, Kentucky the No. 1 punching bag. From Vitale's opening uppercut to Duke's crisp, efficient second-half dismantling dominance, this one was ugly early and often. Don't search the tape for many highlights. Look in the end zone and watch five or six Duke fans wave a handful of dollar bills as UK freshman Chris Mills takes the court during introductions.

Watch Kentucky spread the floor, work the ball, shoot 60 percent and compete as relentlessly as possible for 20 minutes and still find itself behind a basket at halftime. See Duke take the ball through UK's defense over and over and over as the Blue Devils make 16 of 28 shots in the second half. See UK fail to get any points from anybody other than LeRon Ellis or Reggie Hanson as it is outscored 33-9 in the first 16'. minutes of the second half. The series of snapshots taken here were the snapshots the hoops world expected.

Kentucky unable to compete at the level to which it is accustomed, and the Kentucky entourage unable to limit the discussion to the possibility of this young, eager squad developing into a Southeastern Conference contender by February. The hoops world smells a knockout and it will pursue this team with cynicism from Anchorage to Tuscaloosa. "I like the way they played," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

The Cardinal beat Arizona, at the time ranked No. 1, 82-74. Stanford's other returning starters are 6-2 point guard Terry Taylor (8.8 points, 5 assists) and 6-6 forward Bryan McSweeney (7 points, 4 rebounds). Taylor made 105 of 221 three-point attempts, and McSweeney is considered the team's best defensive forward.

With 6 minutes, 20 seconds left in its season-opening basketball game against Silver Creek High School, Seymour was knee-deep in a shallow grave. The score at that point was Silver Creek 69, Seymour 50. The gritty Dragons were throwing on the last shovelfuls of dirt The mourners were in place. The tombstone was written: "R.I.P. 20th-ranked Owls." But at that moment wouldn't you know it Seymour showed a pulse.

The Owls strung together three free throws in short order. That sure doesn't seem like much of a big deal, one might think. Yet there they were an hour later, alive and well and feeling like someone who just was pulled out of a burning building. John Hohn-streiter's turnaround jumper with six seconds gave Seymour an 89-88 overtime victory. It took some extraordinary doings for Seymour to win this one.

Like a fourth quarter which might See HOHNSTREITER'S SHOT PAGE 13, col. 1, this section By JIM TERHUNE Staff Writer KNOXVILLE, Tenn. The pass from University of Tennessee quarterback Jeff Francis was a looper over the middle designed to find Alvin Harper a stride into the end zone. Harper almost was open, and the ball almost was there. But Kentucky linebacker Randy Hol-leran stepped in front jumped and tipped it The ball headed skyward, end over end.

Hol-leran, lunging from the end zone out leaned for it again. UK defensive end Jay Dortch, coming full speed from the 2-yard line, reached for it UK defensive guard Vic Adams, retreating from the line of scrimmage, was two steps away. Holleran and Dortch crashed, knocking each other out of an interception. The ball fell Into a soggy puddle. Tennessee scored on the next play and went on to win 28-24.

Thus, in a driving rain, the season played out yesterday in typical fashion for this bewitched UK team. A non-interception followed by a touchdown. A non-fumble recovery followed by a touchdown. A performance by a quarterback Francis, who completed 73 percent of his passes for four TDs broke one record and tied another. Kentucky was left with a third 5-6 record in the last four seasons.
