'Beyond the Pale' show goes beyond expectations

By Nick Mills and Nicholas Mills · Sunday, Jan. 28,2007 10:42 p.m.

It was almost midnight and exhaustion was starting to get to Jim Gaffigan. Following his show at the IU Auditorium Thursday night, Gaffigan held a meet-and-greet session for his fans. He spent more time talking to his fans than actually performing for them. After spending more than two hours shaking hands and talking, Gaffigan showed signs of being tired. For a guy who reiterates his laziness throughout his act it is surprising he lasted as long as he did.

'Business-like' approach helps Hoosiers to victory

By Kevin Kane · Sunday, Jan. 28,2007 10:02 p.m.

It was all business for the IU women's tennis team Saturday when the Hoosiers improved to a flawless 6-0 record after defeating both the DePaul Blue Demons and the Butler Bulldogs at home. IU wasn't sure what it would see from the erratic Blue Demons, and no time had been spent toward scouting the underdog Butler squad. But coach Lin Loring's team demonstrated its professional approach to the game. Winning 5-2, the Hoosiers were prepared for the challenge DePaul presented, and Butler's element of surprise wasn't enough to prevent a 7-0 IU win.

In two "white outs" last season, the IU men's basketball team lost against two top-ranked teams -- the Duke Blue Devils and the Connecticut Huskies -- at Assembly Hall. That didn't stop IU sophomore Don Ueber from pushing Hoosier fans to turn Assembly Hall white when the No. 2 Wisconsin Badgers travel to Bloomington for Wednesday's game.

Forward motion

By Eamonn Brennan · Sunday, Jan. 28,2007 9:43 p.m.

When IU forward Mike White entered Saturday's 76-61 win over Michigan, he did so much later than he's gotten used to. White has seen a bump in his playing time since IU's road win over Connecticut more than a week ago, but missed out on first-half action Saturday for the first time in a week. IU coach Kelvin Sampson waited until midway through the second half to insert the junior college transfer. Once White climbed into the game, though, he made his presence felt. In eight minutes of play, White scored six points on 2-of-3 shooting, pulled down two rebounds, emphatically blocked two shots and ripped a steal. "Mike didn't play the first half and I think he got upset," Sampson said. "I kind of like that. I think he went in there and said 'I'll show you,' which is good. You have to have the right attitude to be able to approach things like that.''
