Injury report

·

Devastating is an adjective that often describes sports injuries. But, last season a major injury was oddly beneficial for the IU women's basketball team.

One roller coaster ride of a season

·

Where to begin? A Big Ten Championship, a berth in the NCAA Tournament, a frightening accident, and a array of emotions ranging from happy tears to sad discussions. All of the following described the 2001-2002 IU women's basketball season.

Hoosiers undergo identity change with loss of prominent players

·

Like two important pieces to a jigsaw puzzle, center Jill Chapman and guard Heather Cassady completed the team picture for IU. Their prominent roles on the team were fundamental to its success last year and for years to come. They combined to score 43 percent of IU's points last season.

From the bench to the spotlight

Davis gains respect with team success

How Rodney Dangerfield can help the Hoosiers

·

You often hear Rodney Dangerfield complain about how he never gets any respect. And he may be right -- one often overlooks his great comedic performances in films such as "Caddyshack" or "Back to School." (For the sake of this article, I won't mention the film "Ladybugs." Also for the sake of this article, I will start talking about basketball. Just hang on a sec).

Hoosiers hoping for recruits

·

The bad news is that the IU basketball team has zero agreements with any recruits. The good news is that two of the top high school players were in Bloomington during Homecoming weekend, and received a boisterous welcome from IU fans.

Engineers check Alaska pipeline

·

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Engineers inspected the Alaska pipeline to determine the extent of the damage Monday after one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded in the United States knocked out some of its supports and forced a shutdown in the flow of oil. Sunday's magnitude-7.9 quake was so strong that it opened cracks 6 feet wide in roads and rocked boats on lakes as far away as Louisiana. However, only one minor injury was reported -- a woman who broke her arm in a fall when she fled her home.

In one of the shootings, Paul LaRuffa was shot six times at close range after closing his restaurant on Sept. 5. Prince George's County police Capt.
