Injury updates from Hoosier Hysteria

By Nathan Brown

The IU men's basketball team went into Friday night's Hoosier Hysteria festivities already with two public injuries to freshmen that had kept Troy Williams and Luke Fischer out of practice since last week. Yet, as the night's activities went on, it was clear that fellow-freshman Noah Vonleh had likely suffered some sort of injury during practice this week because he didn't warm-up for or compete in the inter-squad scrimmage at the end of the night. IU Coach Tom Crean confirmed after Hoosier Hysteria that Vonleh had hurt his ankle during practice on Wednesday, and the staff wanted him to take things lightly for a while.

Results from Hoosier Hysteria skills competitions

By Nathan Brown

Although last Friday marked the first day of official practice for the IU men's and women's basketball teams, Friday night was the first time that a largely full Assembly Hall could catch a glance of a very different IU men's basketball team, including six freshmen and a graduate student. Both men's and women's players highlighted the night with the skills competitions that drew the majority of the cheers during the more than two hours of action, including a 3-point competition and two-ball competition that included both the men's and women's teams.

Halftime: Navy running over IU 24-14

By Evan Hoopfer

Ever since sophomore quarterback Nate Sudfeld entered the game, the Hoosiers have outscored Navy 14-10. Unfortunately for Indiana, Navy jumped out to a 14-0 lead to start the game after IU sophomore quarterback Tre Roberson started the game without a first down in his first two series. The Midshipmen lead the Hoosiers 24-14 at the half after gashing the Hoosiers on the ground and surprising them through the air. Navy has 255 yards on the ground, averaging over seven yards a carry.

Game Notes: IU v. UCLA

By Alden Woods

The IU men's soccer team fell 1-0 to UCLA in a hotly contested matchup this afternoon, with UCLA's Victor Chavez scoring the game's sole goal in the first minute of the sudden-death extra time period. The Hoosiers' best chance at a goal came with 14:51 to play in the second half, when freshman forward Tommy Thompson was dragged down from behind inside UCLA's 18-yard-box.

Freshmen men's basketball players meet with the media

By Nathan Brown

Friday afternoon, members of the local media had the chance to meet with IU men's basketball freshmen Luke Fischer, Troy Williams, Devin Davis, Collin Hartman, Noah Vonleh and Stanford Robinson. Although it is yet to be seen how well the six fresh faces to Bloomington can fill in the gaps left from departed players Victor Oladipo, Cody Zeller, Christian Watford, Jordan Hulls and Derek Elston, one void was soon apparent: the Hoosiers don't seem to have too many players who can talk about the game much in front of a crowd. Sure, it was their first time in front of the IU media, but let's just hope that more guys will be willing to take the big-time shot on the court this season than dishing off another pass like so many of the freshmen avoided the pressure of answering questions with much detail while dishing them off to their counterparts. But aside from the question and answer side of the interview session, IU's six newest threats already looked like they were in form for the college season. A top 10 recruit in the country coming out of high school, Noah Vonleh said he finished his high school season weighing 215 pounds, but with several weeks of meals prepared by the IU athletics staff and weight training with IU Strength and Conditioning Coach Je'Ney Jackson has gotten Vonleh up to 240 pounds. Past teammates and peers commented on Vonleh's ballooning size while he was at basketball camps sponsored by LeBron James and Amare Stoudemire this past summer. On the other hand, Robinson has been enjoying other perks of getting ripped. "Sometimes I just touch my arms, just to see how big I've gotten," he said.

Football Depth Chart Update for the Indiana State Week

By Andy Wittry

The IU football team released its depth chart for the week of the Indiana State game, which will be played at Memorial Stadium next Thursday at 7 p.m. IU Coach Kevin Wilson said that the team is "pretty healthy" except for injuries to weak-side linebacker Chase Hoobler, who was listed as the starter at weak-side linebacker until he suffered a stress fracture, and starting right guard Dan Feeney, who will likely be sidelined until January or February of 2014 with a lisfranc injury. He said that he anticipates that 90 percent of the players listed on the depth chart will play in IU's first few games. A starter has been named at every position except for quarterback, right guard and strong-side linebacker. Wilson had previously said that the starting quarterback could have potentially been announced as early as Friday but the three-player competition will continue into next week.
