when an incredibly talented group went undefeated in the Big Ten - 1969 - 1970 season. 14-0 record, averaged 102 points/ game in the Big Ten that year. Freddie Brown lighting it up from downtown Iowa City.

But Freddie wasn't the big shooter in the Big Ten that year. That would be Purdue's Rick Mount who hit 61 in a losing effort to Iowa that year.

We sure remember Brown around here.
