In flux: Sampson continues to switch around starting lineup

By Eamonn Brennan · Monday, Dec. 4,2006 8:33 a.m.

IU coach Kelvin Sampson insists his first Hoosier team is still searching for an identity, for something the players can "hang their hat on," as he often says. As he searches for that identity, he is also searching for a group of players he can count on. He is finding out who his starting five are, who his role players are and who -- if anyone -- can provide him much needed poise and experience.

By Ryan Corazza · Monday, Dec. 4,2006 8:32 a.m.

Earl Calloway, Rod Wilmont and A.J. Ratliff sat on IU's bench for much of the second half during the Hoosiers' 54-51 loss to Duke University Tuesday night.

Myers gets 65 years for Behrman murder

By Sarah Core · Monday, Dec. 4,2006 1:11 a.m.

MARTINSVILLE -- John R. Myers II received 65 years in prison Friday, the maximum sentence, for the 2000 murder of IU sophomore Jill Behrman. His ankles and wrists chained, Myers remained emotionless during the all-day sentencing, even when Jill Behrman's parents Marilyn and Eric Behrman took the stand to read personal statements to the court. "Every single day, many times each day, I am forced to think about the fact that my daughter Jill was brutally murdered, execution-style, in a remote, overgrown area in rural Morgan County," said Marilyn Behrman, her voice strong as she read aloud her written statement. "My strong, beautiful, responsible, intelligent daughter Jill was unable to defend herself against Mr. Myers that day." Jill Behrman vanished during a morning bike ride May 31, 2000. Her bicycle was found two days later in a cornfield outside Ellettsville, less than a mile from the trailer where Myers was living at the time. Hunters found her skeletal remains in March 2003 near Paragon, Ind. Forensic evidence showed Jill Behrman was shot in the back of the head at close range with a shotgun.
