1980 Big Ten Champions Will Be Honored At Halftime of Purdue Game

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana University will honor the 1980 Big Ten Champion men's basketball team at halftime of the Hoosiers game against Purdue on Saturday. The game tips off at 2 p.m. and will be shown on ESPN. Picked No. 1 in the preseason by Sports Illustrated, but affected by key injuries, the squad finished 21-8 and won their last six league games to claim the title. The streak was spurred by the return of Senior All-American and Big Ten Player of the Year Mike Woodson, who came back after undergoing back surgery in December.
