He is also the first IU freshman since Calbert Cheaney (1989-90) to score double figures in each of his first three collegiate games. Finally, he has made his last 11 consecutive free throws.
* Entering this season, Jeff Newton had attempted three three-pointers in his career. Through the first three games of 2002-03, he is already 4-5 from beyond the arc, following the trend set by former Hoosier All-Americans Kirk Haston and Jared Jeffries. Haston and Jeffries each hit nearly 40 percent from three-point range in their final seasons in Bloomington.
* Senior guard Tom Coverdale, a candidate for The Wooden and Senior CLASS Awards, is on pace to become the fifth player in school history with 1,000 career points and 400 career assists. He would join A.J. Guyton, Damon Bailey, Randy Wittman and Quinn Buckner. He has a positive assist-to-turnover ratio in nine of his last 12 career games, and the Hoosiers are 15-2 when he has at least seven assists.
