Bloomington, IN - When the No. 10 Indiana Hoosiers entertain Vanderbilt Monday in Assembly Hall (7 p.m., ESPN2), it will mark the fifth time in the first seven games of the year that the Hoosiers face a 2002 postseason team. IU is off to its fourth 6-0 start in the last seven years, and its next win in Assembly Hall will be the 375th in school history.Coach Mike Davis is 25-3 all-time at The Hall, and he hopes to improve upon that record behind a balanced attack that includes senior guard Tom Coverdale and senior forward Jeff Newton. Coverdale is well on pace to become the third player in school history with 1,000 career points, 400 career assists and 150 three-pointers. Newton has posted double-doubles in each of his last three games and is on pace to become the second Hoosier with 200 career blocks. George Leach has had at least three blocks in each of the five games in which he has played, and he is ninth in school history with 90 career rejections. Bracey Wright is one of the nation's top newcomers, as he and Newton are the only Hoosiers to score double figures in each game this season.
