They sound like the Scott brothers
same effect but much different. Woody was in keady's early classes...could shoot the ball, but completely lost on D out of high school. More frail than Chad. He and Riley went crazy in beating IU after IU had beaten them about 40 points in Bloomington. Riley set a lot of VERY HIGH ball screens and Woody just went off

Purdue won primarily because Austin dramatically emerged from a shooting slump and took matters into his own hands midway through the second half.
Shortly before the spree began, Indiana had taken a 42-32 lead. At this point there was no ebb and flow. Both teams were shooting miserably. During one interlude, Purdue stopped Indiana in 10 straight possessions but was rewarded with only one basket.
Austin hadn`t scored a basket since early in the first half, even though he was constantly putting up shots. So Purdue coach Gene Keady took his best player out of the game.
But, instead of chastising him, the coach merely wanted to make certain Austin got the message: ''Keep shooting, Woody! If you don`t score we can`t win.''
While those words were sinking in, Matt Waddell was sinking an outside shot and Matt Painter was scoring on a cut to the basket, narrowing the Boilermakers` deficit to 42-36.
Then Austin took over the game in dramatic style by scoring Purdue`s next 10 points on outside shots. During this span, Indiana`s only answer was a three-point basket by Damon Bailey.
Bailey did his best to keep the momentum from swinging, subsequently posting up twice to score from the inside against Austin and hitting once from the outside.
But with Indiana ahead 53-52, Bailey missed a layup on a three-on-one break.
Purdue scored five of the next six points on Riley`s basket and free throw and Cuonzo Martin`s shot from the corner.
Martin`s basket came after Riley missed the second free throw in a one-and-one situation but ran down the loose-ball rebound near midcourt.
''I had to get that ball,'' said the 6-foot-9-inch, 255-pound center.
''If I missed that free throw and they went down and scored a basket and won the game, I`d remember it the rest of my life.''
Now trailing 57-54, Indiana again made a grievous mistake. Eric Anderson worked free to score from underneath, but the basket with 74 seconds left was wiped out by a traveling call.
As the clock ran down, Purdue`s determination intensified, feeding off the frenzy of the 14,123 fans. The Boilermakers struggled but managed to stay in front.
The loss seemingly left Indiana coach Bob Knight speechless. Or, to be precise, he and his players left without speaking.
When Knight came to the media room, Austin was being interviewed. Although the Austin interview ended instantly, the Hoosiers` coach stalked off in a snit and refused to return.
Rest assured it wasn`t a joy ride back to Bloomington after a game in which the Hoosiers made only 37 percent of their shots and were outrebounded 41-30.
Purdue`s shooting was a lukewarm 40 percent. Austin led the Boilermakers with 20 points, Riley had 17 points and seven rebounds, and Martin, the redshirt freshman from East St. Louis Lincoln, contributed 12 points, seven rebounds and a good defensive job against All-American candidate Calbert Cheaney.
''Cuonzo played his best game of the year,'' said Keady.
Cheaney`s 20-point performance stood out in defeat, but 15 came in the first half when the Hoosiers recovered from a poor start to lead 34-29 at intermission.
Indiana was down 17-8 when Knight went to a three-guard offense. The strategy succeeded in getting the Hoosiers going. He stayed with the three guards for virtually the rest of the game, rotating Bailey, Greg Graham, Jamal Meeks and Chris Reynolds.
Alan Henderson, Indiana`s outstanding freshman center, played only two minutes in the first half after picking up two quick fouls and was back for only 10 minutes in the second. Henderson, who went into the game averaging 11.5 points and 7.3 rebounds, had only two points and three rebounds.
Unlike Riley, Henderson didn`t have the kind of game 9-year-old kids growing up in Indiana dream of.
Now Chad...he could defend! He was a much better defender and a stronger player. he hit two last second shots to beat IU. Bryson Scott was a driver and his brother Brenton was a shooter...
