IU looks to best slumping Buckeyes at home

·

Before Wednesday night’s game against Indiana State, the IU softball team had committed errors in eight straight games. Against Big Ten opponent Ohio State this weekend, the Hoosiers will look to stay error-free for a second game and begin to move out of the cellar of the Big Ten.



Since last year’s race, many of the stars have moved on and other teams have improved. Pre-race favorites failed to perform well in qualifications and the competition in Spring Series events was balanced.

It’s up for grabs.

With the 58th annual men’s Little 500 set for Saturday at 2 p.m., Cutters senior Paul Sigfusson has not had time to think about last year’s Little 500 victory and what it will be like to take the track at Bill Armstrong Stadium as defending champions.

Rain, rain, go away

Curious to hear Saturday’s weather forecast? The report is dreary one – high of 45, low of 36 with a 40 percent chance of precipitation. But you mustn’t forget this is the Little 500, and this weekend’s races will be the icing on the cake for a celebrated week. Every Little 500 enthusiast is smart enough to know that people can’t let the Al Rokers of the world dictate their good time. Those people are weathermen, not college students. They’re full of it.
