Guards getting better in Big Ten

By Zachary Osterman · Friday, Jan. 30,2009 12:23 a.m.

The general wisdom surrounding Tom Crean at Marquette suggested he was a coach guards would love. His up-tempo, drive-and-kick system created lots of open looks for shooters and assists for passers, creating legends such as Dwyane Wade, Travis Diener and the impressive backcourt trio he left in Milwaukee to take the reins at IU.

IU takes on Ohio State on Saturday

By Matt Dollinger · Friday, Jan. 30,2009 12:21 a.m.

Fifty days ago, the United States didn’t have a black president, the Arizona Cardinals were still dwindling in mediocrity and an outfielder on IU’s baseball team was spotlighting as Tom Crean’s sixth man.A lot has changed since the Hoosiers (5-14, 0-7) last won a game.After Wednesday’s heartbreaker to Northwestern, Crean and his players have lost 10 in a row. The team’s most recent victory came Dec. 10 against TCU. Back then, the Hoosiers were above .500, and few saw a losing streak of this magnitude in IU’s headlights.But since then reality has slowly set in. Facing unprecedented challenges, the Hoosiers have performed much like you would expect a team facing unprecedented challenges would, losing in blowouts and squeakers, Big Ten battles and non-conference gimmes.

My cousin Alana was recently selected to be a “friendship mentor.” She and just a few other third-graders from her elementary school will meet with their counselor regularly to discuss “how to have a friend and be one.” This is an honor for my cousin, who is my extended family’s token sweetheart.
