Crean, Hoosiers hope to improve against IUPUI

By Matt Dollinger · Tuesday, Nov. 18,2008 12:02 a.m.

One game into the season, Tom Crean and his players have found plenty of flaws in their own play. “(We’re) up against a lot of challenges, but I don’t think any of our teammates aren’t up for it and our coaches as well,” junior guard Devan Dumes said after IU’s 83-65 victory in its season-opener against Northwestern State.

‘College GameDay’ makes history by visiting HBCU

By Bryan Payton · Tuesday, Nov. 18,2008 12:01 a.m.

Kudos to ESPN’s “College GameDay.” The first appearance “GameDay” made for a game between two historically black colleges and universities was on Nov. 26, 2005, when they set up in Houston for the Bayou Classic game between Southern University and Grambling State University. The game was moved to the Houston location that year due to Hurricane Katrina. While that was a history-making event, history was made again this past Saturday as Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard broadcast from Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, Fla., their first broadcast on an HBCU campus. On their Senior Day, the FAMU Rattlers prevailed against the struggling Hampton University Pirates 45-24. The win improves the Rattlers’ record to 8-3 overall and 4-3 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

IU student remembered for her love of acting

By Elvia Malagon · Tuesday, Nov. 18,2008 12 a.m.

Madeline Krause spent her life doing what she loved to do the most – acting. Krause was an actress who was able to “recite Dickens and Shakespeare with ease, and yet added just enough spunk to make it interesting and lively,” said Hannah Moss, a former actor and producer of the Monroe County Civic Theater’s production of a “Christmas Carol,” in an e-mail.

Robinson’s 4th-place finish gets NCAA cross country bid

By Kyle Abrell · Monday, Nov. 17,2008 11:59 p.m.

IU’s cross country season came to a premature end this weekend for both the men’s and women’s teams, as they failed to attain at-large bids to advance to Nationals. “I guess we were one of the first teams out,” IU coach Ron Helmer said. “The good thing is that the women are knockin’ on the door, but the bad is the guys have enough talent for a national team. I’m a little disappointed for the seniors, but as a group, we didn’t do what we needed to do.”

IU wrestling matches up against 2 opponents

By Sean Morrison · Monday, Nov. 17,2008 11:58 p.m.

Domination is the name of the game as the IU wrestling team goes against Wabash College and Manchester College in its first tri-meet of the season. “I just don’t want to beat guys,” said Paul Young, the 165-pound starter. “I want to destroy them. I want to be able to wrestle a perfect match.” The meet was originally supposed to be a dual between Wabash and IU, but Wabash scheduled Manchester for the same day. But having a second opponent isn’t changing the approach of the wrestlers.

IU men's basketball team hosts cousins to the North

By Tom Kirby · Monday, Nov. 17,2008 11:57 p.m.

Even though the schools are only about 50 miles apart, IU-Purdue University Indianapolis will make its first visit to Assembly Hall tonight to take on the Hoosiers. It’s a game of seconds – the second time in history IU will face IUPUI and the second game of the season for IU coach Tom Crean and his inexperienced team. IU (1-0) is hoping to build off of its opening night, 18-point victory against Northwestern State. It’s IUPUI’s (1-1) third game of the season. The Jaguars notched their first victory a week ago against Michigan Tech, but lost the day before to Northeastern. Proximity isn’t the only similarity the two schools have. Like IU, the Jaguars’ roster is overall vertically challenged. There isn’t one player on IUPUI’s projected starting lineup taller than 6-foot-8. And through the first two games of the season, two of the eight players on the team who’ve recorded playing time are less than 6-foot. The matchup figures to be one of the last of the season IU will have the luxury of being the taller team, but as was the case against Northwestern State on Saturday, the Hoosiers might struggle crashing the boards.

Hitting the boards key to victory

By Zachary Osterman · Monday, Nov. 17,2008 11:55 p.m.

This one’s not quite so exciting, is it? Really, the second game of every season is kind of a letdown: the crash after the euphoric high that accompanies the start of basketball season. Think of this game as Sunday morning, coming down too early (Yes, I finally did it – I dropped a Johnny Cash reference. Championship.). Tuesday’s 6:30 p.m. game against IU-Purdue University Indianapolis surely won’t garner the fan excitement IU’s season opener did Saturday. Too bad, because the Jaguars look far more dangerous than any opponent IU has faced this year.

IU reflects 30 years after Jonestown massacre

By Ben Phelps · Monday, Nov. 17,2008 11:46 p.m.

Sixty years ago, James Warren Jones wasn’t a cult leader or a radical preacher. “Jim” Jones was just a 16-year-old freshman living at what is now the Ashton Center at IU. Today marks the 30th anniversary of when Jones – one of IU’s most notorious former students – ordered a mass suicide and murder of more than 900 people in Guyana, South America. The Jonestown massacre is one of the most deadly mass murder-suicides to date.

Homesick for the holidays

By Bonnie White · Monday, Nov. 17,2008 11:15 p.m.

It’s finally happened. I’m totally and completely homesick. I thought I could ward off whatever feelings that might lead to it, but this time there’s no denying it.
