By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

SACRAMENTO -- Sophomore A.J. Moye was shouting. Senior Dane Fife was joking about how close his college career came to ending. And junior Kyle Hornsby was talking about how good it feels to be going where no IU team has been since 1994. The Hoosiers are going to play in the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament, and an excited locker room after a 76-67 win Saturday night against North Carolina-Wilmington couldn't contain its excitement.

Cassady heads to the Big Apple

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

After one of the most successful years that the IU women's basketball team has had in recent history, senior Heather Cassady was supposed to hang up her sneakers at the end of her career as a Hoosier. But fans haven't heard the last of Cassady, who hopped on a plane for New York City late last week to participate in the New York Liberty's training camp. "We are just obviously proud as parents and family," Cassady's father, Pat, said. "Heather is just thrilled, but nervous, ready and looking forward to it." The 5'7" point guard who helped lead the team to a Big Ten Championship Tournament win and the first round of the NCAA tournament is now setting her sights on the future, which could hold a career in the WNBA.

Knight's story to be released today

By Cory Schouten · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The fact that Bob Knight's new book will be released today, the week of the Final Four, is not surprising. After all, Knight is college basketball's most infamous coach, and the Final Four is its most exciting moment. What is surprising is that the team Knight once coached is back in the Final Four, on the shoulders of new coach Mike Davis. Whether the resurgence of IU basketball will rekindle interest in the program's past -- and Knight's book -- is yet to be seen.

Fraternity honors member's mother

By Cory Schouten · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

It wasn't the kind of day Cheryl Coverdale likes to spend indoors. A warm breeze blew, birds sang and signs of spring were everywhere. Saturday was the kind of day Coverdale, 47, would have liked to spend gardening. Instead, she was sharing her dying wish at a gathering organized by her son and his best friend at Delta Chi fraternity, 1100 N. Jordan Ave. Coverdale has terminal brain cancer. Her son, freshman Ayron Gabbert, his friend freshman Sekou Kante and other members of Delta Chi fraternity raised enough money to send Coverdale to St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. She had always wanted to go to the beach but had never gone, Gabbert said.

Celebrate, but wisely

By Duncan Mitchel · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

After IU's 73-64 victory over No. 2 seed Oklahoma in NCAA Final Four Saturday night, more than 1,000 excited fans gathered in on East Kirkwood and the downtown to celebrate. For several hours fans cheered, yelled and, at times, used questionable judgement. More than a dozen people climbed poles at the intersection of Kirkwood and Dunn, some making it to the top and dangling their way to the other side on an electrical wire.
