____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>There is a certain buzz in the Bloomington air this week. It has been absent for what feels like an eternity, and Hoosier fans are ecstatic about its return.The IU men’s basketball team is 8-0 for the first time since the 2002-03 season. The “great future” for the program is no longer in the future because IU basketball has returned to the national spotlight.The Hoosiers received 23 votes in this week’s Coaches’ Poll and four in the AP Poll.IU Coach Tom Crean preached to the faithful not to give up, and fans listened, embracing his challenge. They kept the faith through tough times. Now, Hoosier Nation is being rewarded with the play on the court thus far this season.But it is time to test the fans, and their successful completion of this task could lead to the biggest upset in IU basketball’s long, dazzling history.Assembly Hall must be filled to the rafters Saturday when the Hoosiers play the No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats (8-0). Every seat. No blue. All red.Kentucky is by far the best competition IU will play to date and quite possibly the entire season.The play on the court has potential to be great, but the Hoosiers’ chances of winning rest on the shoulders of the fans. No matter the score, no matter who has the ball and no matter how much time is left in the half, all fans must be standing, yelling as loud as they can.One thing has been obvious in the past four seasons: Crean’s team feeds off the energy inside Assembly Hall. When the crowd gets louder, the team seems to play better.The Hoosiers need each one of the 17,472 seats to be filled with red, as IU Athletics has announced it will be a “red-out.”The matchup will be the first true road game for Kentucky, a team with only four upperclassmen on the roster. Assembly Hall is far from kind to this visitor, as the Hoosiers are 474-98 since the rivalry debuted in 1971. It will be interesting to see how the Wildcats react to the volume of the energized crowd.IU fans should arrive early. They should scream until they cannot talk. And they must not sell their tickets to Kentucky fans, as the Wildcat fans will try to disrupt the energy of the Hoosier crowd.On Monday, Kentucky Coach John Calipari took to Twitter, saying to Wildcat fans, “Don’t lose your vacation money or your kid’s scholarship fund, but if you’re buying tix to the IU game, don’t tell them you’re with UK.”Seems to me that he is a little uneasy about the daunting task of playing in Bloomington this weekend.He said in his next tweet, “Show up in red with blue underneath & don’t take it off until our intros. You can leave the red shirt in the arena when u leave.”I understand a couple hundred dollars would be nice heading into the holiday season. But this is what IU basketball fans live for. Your team is back, and it needs you in the seats if you hope for an upset.For the first time since 2006, the No. 1 team will come to the Assembly Hall. Camp Assembly Hall will be set up soon for those with general admission tickets.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>The Old Oaken Bucket was carried off the Memorial Stadium field Saturday and not in the hands of the team that brought it there.Now, IU is reliant on winter sports to pick up the fall slack if it hopes to take back the lead in the battle for the Crimson and Gold Cup. For only the third time in the series, IU trails Purdue after the fall season, 3-2. In 2006, IU trailed Purdue, which led to the Boilermakers winning the Cup for the first and only time.Women’s basketballThe next time the two schools meet will be Jan. 19, 2012, when the women’s basketball teams compete in Bloomington.The Hoosiers have proven it will be another tough season, as they have again struggled to put together 40 minutes of solid basketball. The Hoosiers’ three losses were to teams with an aggregate 10-6 record, none of which match the competition they will face the rest of the season.No. 13 Purdue, on the other hand, has looked very impressive thus far. It has already defeated three teams that competed in the NCAA tournament a year ago. The Boilermakers will also play defending champion Texas A&M and runner-up Notre Dame.Unless IU finds a way to win games fast, Purdue’s preseason schedule will have the team ready to win both matchups against IU. The Boilermakers look too tough for the young Hoosiers, who are still rebuilding their program. (Purdue leads 4-2)Swimming and divingBoth the men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will take to the pool Jan. 21 in Bloomington. The early season success for both teams will make for an interesting matchup when the two schools meet for the only time.The IU women will rely on senior Alyssa Vavra, who continues to solidify herself as one of the best swimmers of all time for IU, while the men will look for the continued success of junior diver Zac Nees.Even with the tough schedule IU has prepared for, I look for both the men and women to claim victories against Purdue and even the series. (Tied at 4)Men’s basketballThe men’s basketball teams will meet on the hardwood for the first of two matchups Feb. 4 in West Lafayette.The addition of freshman Cody Zeller to IU and the return of senior Robbie Hummel from injury at Purdue will bring a lot of excitement that has been absent the past three seasons.It is always a big game when these two teams meet, but each team will capitalize on its home crowd. IU has struggled on the road in the Big Ten, and I am afraid it will do so at Purdue again this year.The two teams will win at home and split the series. (Tied at 4.5)WrestlingThe last winter matchup will be when the wrestling teams meet for senior day Feb. 5 at University Gym.Last season, IU struggled in the Big Ten but looks to continue rebuilding this season with its young talent.IU has been impressive thus far, as it had four weight classes go undefeated this past weekend in the Hoosier Duals. IU cannot show its inexperience as it did in a few areas last weekend.As the Hoosiers continue to get better, their schedule will get tougher.Both IU and Purdue received votes in the latest polls, and both have very young teams.It is too early to make a solid prediction, but look for sophomore Mitchell Richey and senior Matt Ortega to continue to be solid wrestlers and lead the Hoosiers. I am going out on a limb early and predicting that IU takes the last point up for grabs. (IU leads 5.5-4.5)It is still very early in the 2011-12 edition of the Crimson and Gold Cup competition, and it is undoubtedly a daunting uphill battle for the cream and crimson to take the lead heading into the spring final stretch.Although the Old Oaken Bucket heads north for the year, do not expect this trophy to go anywhere if the Hoosiers can pull it together this winter.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Basketball is about protecting the home court. In Bloomington, it is about defending a tradition of excellence. However, the IU women’s basketball team has yet to figure out how to win at Assembly Hall without doing so in an ugly fashion.This season, the Hoosiers’ success rests on how well they play at home. It is no doubt tough to rebuild a program, but with young talent, the players and coaches must understand that losing at home is not an option.“For the young people, they are tough mentally, but we want to bring them confidence by showing them that we believe in them,” senior forward Georgie Jones said. “But they need to believe in themselves.”As the players continue to buy into the changing culture, they also need to follow the leadership of Jones, their senior captain, who said she knows winning at home is essential to this season’s success.“We have to protect our house, and having that as the main mind set is our goal,” she said. “The coaches instill (winning at home) in our minds every day at practice.”After the team’s preseason battle with Indianapolis, it was apparent winning at home will not be a gift-wrapped present to the Hoosiers. Even a Murray State team coming off a 9-21 season was too tough for IU. The Hoosiers found themselves in another dogfight, down by 15 points in the first half. Finally, Jones stepped up to score 16 points and added 13 rebounds.Her performance must remain at that level each game if the Hoosiers hope to improve their win total from a season ago, home or away.“Success to me is being a good rebounder, and that’s what I want to contribute to this team,” she said.Jones is a 6-foot-2-inch forward in her final year of eligibility with the Hoosiers. A transfer from Marquette, she said her favorite thing about IU basketball is being part of a tradition. However, she wants more.“We want to be successful as a team and come together to accomplish many things,” Jones said. “It is more than just basketball. I want to have a good year and enjoy it by having fun.”If the players buy into Jones’ leadership, as they should, fans should expect exciting Hoosier victories at Assembly Hall, though not without solid play from the other two seniors, forward Danilsa Andujar and guard Alisha Goodwin. The three seniors have combined for 28 of the team’s 90 rebounds and 31 of the total 116 points through the first two games. “I know my team needs me, and being a senior, I want to do everything for them,” Jones said.Jones said the success of the Hoosiers’ younger athletes depends on the seniors leadership to the postseason.With Coach Felisha Legette-Jack, IU has been to the postseason three times but never the NCAA tournament. However, her players believe that achievement is not far off because of Legette-Jack’s passion for the game and the Hoosiers.“I love her passion, and it helps me get through every day,” Jones said. “I have never met anyone as passionate about the game as her. She gets the best out of everyone.”The Hoosiers will go on the road for their next two contests but return to Assembly Hall to defend their home court Nov. 25 against the Toledo Rockets. If they can follow the leadership of Legette-Jack and Jones, expect the Hoosiers to find success.— smitmatt@indiana.edu
