On March 30, 1981, the Indiana Hoosiers earned the coveted title of NCAA champions. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Jarvis-Landry-Jersey/ . Seeded third in the Mideast Region, they routed the North Carolina?Tar Heels (No. 2 in the West) 63-50 at the Spectrum in Philadelphia.This past Wednesday, the Hoosiers once again trumped the Tar Heels. And who was in attendance but the 1980-81 IU mens basketball team.Well, most of them.The 81 squad came to watch and cheer on its alma mater as part of a ceremony to commemorate the 35th anniversary of their national title win. The players in attendance were honored at halftime, but one?lesser-known member of that?team wasnt there: Mike LaFave. LaFave played for Indiana his freshman and sophomore years before transferring to Ball State for his final two seasons.?He died?at?age?46 from a sudden heart attack in 2009. Taking LaFaves place during the ceremony on Wednesday was his son, Jeff LaFave, who penned a moving tribute to his father that was posted on Hoosier Sports Report prior to tipoff.As Jeff put it: Indianas 1980-81 mens basketball championship team was studded with legendary players. My father, a backup freshman forward, was not necessarily one of them.Although never the superstar, what Mike LaFave imparted on his son -- and his?teammates -- from his time spent as a Hoosier was that sports can teach you how to treat people with respect, how to overcome adversity, and how to add value to a group, no matter what your role is.Character is what matters most, Jeff LaFave writes, and no championship ring was built to contain that legacy.--Meaghan Latella? http:///...ence-Timmons-Jersey/ .com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins placed forward James Neal on injured reserve Tuesday. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Jordan-Phillips-Jersey/ . Walcott is available for Saturdays home match against Southampton as Arsenal looks to extend its two-point lead at the top of the Premier League. The Gunners are currently the second highest scorers in the league but Wenger insists Walcott will add something extra to his team. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Andre-Branch-Jersey/ . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle. 23 Five-wicket hauls for R Ashwin in Tests - the third highest among India bowlers alongside Kapil Dev. Only Anil Kumble (35) and Harbhajan Singh (25) have taken more such hauls. Ashwin is playing his 43rd Test. Harbhajan, Kumble and Kapil took 75, 81 and 114 Tests for their 23rd five-wicket haul respectively. Among bowlers from all teams, only Sydney Barnes has been quicker to 23 five-for in Tests. Barnes took just 27 Tests.7 Five-fors by Ashwin this year - the second time he has taken seven or more such hauls in a calendar year. Ashwin took seven five-fors in 2015 as well. Only one other bowler - Muttiah Muarlitharan - has taken seven or more five-wicket hauls in a year more than once. Muralitharan did it in 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2006. Ashwins 14 five-wicket hauls in the last-two years equal the most any bowler has taken in a two-year period. Muralitharan had taken 14 such hauls between 2000 and 2001 and again between 2006 and 2007.18 Five-wicket hauls by Ashwin in just 26 Tests in India. Only Anil Kumbles 25 such hauls is higher than Ashwins in India. Harbhajan also took 18 five-fors from 55 Tests at home.56.16 Jos Buttlers batting average against India in Tests; his 76 in Englands first innings was his fifth score of 40 or more runs in six innings against them. Buttlers 76 is the highest by a visiting batsman at Wankhede batting at No. 7 or lower since Adam Gilchrists 122 in 2001-02.1975 The only time in 13 Tests before this a team posting a total of 400 or more runs in the first innings a Tests has lost at the Wankhede Stadium. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Mike-Pouncey-Jersey/. On that occasion though India had ended up trailing West Indies by 198 runs in spite of putting up 406 runs on the board. Since then, teams posting a total of 400-plus have ended up winning on seven occasions, with other six Tests ending in a draw. This is Englands third 400-plus total in their first innings at the Wankhede Stadium in their last three Tests here. England defeated the hosts after posting such totals on the previous two instances.2013 The last time before this India spinners took all the ten wickets to fall in the first innings of a Test. Ashwin had led the India spinners on that occasion too, taking seven of the ten Australia wickets to fall to spinners, in Chennai in 2012-13. Overall, this was just the eighth instance of India spinners taking all ten wickets in the first innings of a Test.1983 The last time before this India had a century stand for their second wicket in Tests at the Wankhede Stadium. Anshuman Gaekwad and Dilip Vengsarkar had added 133 against West Indies on that occasion. Overall, there have been only four such stands for India at this venue. M Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara have added 107 runs in this innings - their seventh hundred-run stand in Tests. So far, the pair has added 2251 runs together at an average of 66.20 - the highest for an India pair that has added 2000 or more runs in Tests.
