IU searches for leaders as it preps for Buckeyes

By Tom Kirby · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2009 12:18 a.m.

As the season progresses and losses continue to mount for the Hoosiers, IU coach Tom Crean has often said the main problem with a young team is the lack of a true leader. When things have gone south, as they did against Illinois on Saturday, Crean said the Hoosiers need to find a confident player to help guide the squad out of slumps.Complicating matters even more for Crean is the uncertainty of the status of junior Devan Dumes, one of the more confident shooters on the team. Dumes left the Illinois game with a sprained ankle, and Crean said the team is in wait-and-see mode for Tuesday’s battle against Ohio State.

Wild NFL postseason continues

By Geoffrey Miller · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2009 12 a.m.

Did anyone really see this coming? The top three seeds in the NFL’s NFC have been bounced from playoff contention. On the other side, Tennessee’s top spot in the AFC meant nothing as a rookie quarterback downed the Titans to accomplish something no other rookie has done – win two playoff games. Back in the NFC, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb is making phone calls for penalties, and the Arizona Cardinals – yes, the Arizona freakin’ Cardinals – will play host to the NFC title game.

Ohio: the home of 2 different Hoosiers

By Zachary Osterman · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2009 12 a.m.

Eric Arnett and Tom Pritchard probably could not be more different. Pritchard is the new face of IU basketball, a loyal, late-blooming commit who weathered the storm that was Kelvin Sampson and is now a likely Big Ten Freshman of the Year candidate. He’s a blossoming post presence Tom Crean may rely on for years to come. Arnett won’t even be on the basketball team another week. Brought on in the fall as an extra body in practice, Arnett makes his real living as a pitcher on the IU baseball team, and a rather accomplished one at that. Arnett could dress but not play this year for the Hoosiers, who didn’t want to count another scholarship against their limit. He’ll return to the baseball team following tonight’s game at Ohio State.

Diagnosing the nation

By Ashley Ames · Monday, Jan. 12,2009 10:19 p.m.

So the economy has been better. Barack Obama recently said, “If we do not act swiftly and boldly, we could see a much deeper economic downturn that could lead to double-digit unemployment.” And then Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman proclaimed in his New York Times column that this was an understatement and, furthermore, “This looks an awful lot like the beginning of a second Great Depression.” The American people are wearing down and getting frustrated. Grocers have begun placing electronic tags on sirloins to prevent them from being shoplifted. In New York City, where bank robberies have increased by 54 percent this year, five banks were held up in a single day. And by now everyone has heard the abhorrently pitiful story of the death of a Wal-Mart employee at the hands of bargain-desperate Black Friday shoppers.
