No room for little men in this year’s Final Four matchups

By Aaron Beard and Nancy Armour · Friday, March 30,2007 12 a.m.

ATLANTA – There won’t be any warm and fuzzy scenes like when Jim Valvano sprinted across the court looking for somebody to hug. You won’t see any blubbering meltdowns a la Rollie Massimino, either. And the next George Mason? That dream got squashed two weeks ago. Nope, this year’s Final Four is all about the power conferences. There might as well be a sign: “No Underdogs Allowed.”

Kappa Alpha Theta cyclists eager to build on strong performances during Saturday’s series event

By Michael Sanserino · Friday, March 30,2007 12 a.m.

For junior Ali McCormick and her Kappa Alpha Theta teammates, being the best isn’t a goal. It’s their only option. But the women who call Woodlawn home haven’t crossed the finish line first at the Little 500 since 2003. It’s the longest streak for the four-time champs since 1999, when the women failed to win in their fourth consecutive race.

By Whitney Mitchell · Friday, March 30,2007 12 a.m.

The IU women’s rowing team will head to Cincinnati this weekend to compete against Cincinnati, Dayton and Eastern Michigan in what the Hoosiers hope is a promising race. “Without sounding too overconfident going into this race, we are the favorites to win,” coach Steve Peterson said. “We’ve won this race the past few years, and I would expect this year to be no different.”

IU’s All-American

By Matt Mattucci · Thursday, March 29,2007 12 a.m.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – IU recruit Eric Gordon, considered by many to be the top high school basketball player in the country, entered Wednesday night’s McDonald’s All-American game with high expectations from fans and media alike. After all, the Indianapolis native led his North Central squad to the state championship game just a week ago and he is a frontrunner for the Mr. Basketball award in Indiana. It was only fitting, then, that Gordon stood toe-to-toe with O.J. Mayo – also considered by some to be the country’s best recruit – and performed in front of legendary college basketball coach and Indiana native John Wooden.

Hoosiers prepare for 1st full offseason under Sampson

By Matt Mattucci · Tuesday, March 27,2007 12 a.m.

It’s been more than a week since IU’s 54-49 loss to the UCLA Bruins in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Already, the Hoosiers are beginning their offseason work and preparing for the 2007-08 campaign. IU coach Kelvin Sampson said the squad will now focus on catching up academically, but the players will also begin their offseason workouts soon. “Strength training will be a huge point of emphasis (in the offseason), especially for the young kids,” Sampson said last Thursday during his weekly news conference. “We do a lot of explosive work and a little bit of everything. With the rule set up for time allowed, we have to shut down everything the week before finals, so we have a three-week window to practice.”
