Bill Raftery to host Hysteria, Gordon and White to appear

by in Media | October 13th, 2011

CBS Sports and ESPN college basketball announcer Bill Raftery will serve as the host of the men’s portion of Saturday’s Hoosier Hysteria at Assembly Hall according to a release issued today by IU Media Relations.

The former Seton Hall coach, who began calling games for CBS Sports almost 29 years ago, won’t be the only special guest in attendance.

With the NBA lockout still in effect, former IU stars D.J. White and Eric Gordon will be a part of the program and will also sign autographs afterward.

According to IU’s release, fans will be provided with one item for signatures and may not have any other items signed by the IU players or its special guests.

Doors will open at 6:30 PM ET on Saturday and admission is free, but fans are encouraged to bring a canned food item for Hoosier Hills Food Bank.

Eric Gordon sidelined with right wrist injury

The chances of an Eric Gordon NBA All-Star game appearance have just become slimmer.

The third-year LA Clipper and former IU guard, who is currently eighth in the NBA in scoring at just over 24 points per game, will miss the next three or four weeks with a wrist injury, reports ESPNLosAngeles.com:

The team said Tuesday night that Gordon has a sprained right wrist and a small bone chip fracture. After exams by multiple doctors, it was determined he would miss three to four weeks.

Gordon was probably a long shot to be selected to the Western Conference team, but this injury could keep him out past the All-Star break (Feb. 18-21).

The loss of Gordon is a significant blow to the Clippers, who sit seven games out of the playoff race, but are 7-3 over their last ten games.

ClipsNation weighs-in on how the loss of Gordon could affect the Clippers chances of reaching the postseason:

When Eric Gordon went crashing to the floor of Staples Center on Saturday night, the Clippers’ hopes of making a playoff push, however dim, probably crashed as well. The Clippers are now 0-3 without their leading scorer this season. Then again, they faced some pretty good teams in those games, the Spurs, Hornets and Mavericks. They were 6-14 in the 20 games he missed last year.

Eric Gordon’s NBA rise

by in Former Hoosiers | December 8th, 2010

To know Eric Gordon’s full basketball repertoire, it’s best to go back to the beginning.

February 1, 2007.

That night, Gordon, inside North Central High School’s gym and an introduction to the big stage via an ESPN2 broadcast, cast a spell on Marcus and Jeffrey Jordan. Forty-three points on 17-of-25 shooting. A dominant, dizzying performance. Power and control at the rim. Range for days.

Air Gordon:

***
Gordon was often brilliant during his one-and-done, 2007-08 season in Bloomington before a wrist injury marred him in a shooting slump to end the year.

He led the Big Ten in scoring at 20.9 points per game. The league named him freshman of the year and granted him a spot on the first team all-conference.

He was too good for high school. Too good for college.

It was time for the NBA.

***

As the No. 7 pick in the 2008 draft, Gordon played well his rookie season. He started 65 games for Mike Dunleavy, averaged 16.1 points and hit an impressive 38.9 percent from three.

The Clippers finished 19-63.

In 2009-10, Gordon stayed the course: 16.9 points per game, 37.1 percent from three.

The Clippers finished 29-53.

So far, so good enough.

After two years, Gordon proved to be a good shooter that drew fouls at a strong rate, but wasn’t quite attacking the way he’d shown he was capable of in high school and college — his jaw-dropping power had gone underutilized.
