The first game of the 1981-82 season for Indiana. This is the season after Indiana's 1981 national championship, a season that was largely overshadowed by Landon Turner's tragic accident in the off-season that left him paralyzed. The roster had no seniors, and was led by a core of juniors that included Randy Wittman, Ted Kitchel, Steve Bouchie, and Jim Thomas.

Indiana would struggle a bit at times in this one, but picked up the victory regardless, 71-64.
