No celebration for Hoosiers in Champaign

There will come a time this year when the IU men’s basketball team – overmatched and undersized – will take the floor in some Big Ten city and brave the odds to beat a better conference opponent. Champaign was not that city.

Absolutely demolished, the IU men's basketball team was felled by the sharpshooting Fighting Illini.

Finding a home on the hardcourt

LOVELAND, Ohio – Bobby Capobianco is used to being on the move. He was born in Orlando, Fla., but has since lived in six other states. In August 2005, his family moved to Loveland, just outside of Cincinnati. Prior to Ohio, Capobianco called Greensboro, N.C., his home. “I lived there for six years, which is the longest I have ever lived anywhere,” he said. Capobianco has been a welcome addition to Loveland, and he will likely end his four-year varsity basketball career as Loveland High School’s all-time leading scorer, rebounder and shot blocker. He’s already two-thirds of the way there, just 131 points short of that feat with 11 regular season games to go.

Hoosiers stumble at Illinois to 6th straight loss

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Last year’s infamous chest bump pales in comparison to the in-game beat down the Fighting Illini laid on the Hoosiers Saturday.After holding their own but losing in their first two conference games, IU coach Tom Crean and his team got the kind of Big Ten welcome many had been bracing for all season.A 31-point thrashing marked the biggest loss by the Hoosiers in the rivalry’s 161-game series.IU’s orange rivals to the west opened the game on a 21-2 run and never relaxed their grip of the lead. The Illini led by 25 at the half and continued to humiliate the traditionally proud basketball school in the second half, brushing off the Hoosiers 76-45 and handing their longest losing streak – at six – since 2004.

Weber: ‘Indiana will suck’

Last time IU traveled to Champaign to take on Illinois, the game was one of the most highly anticipated matches of the year.  Led by then-coach Kelvin Sampson and freshman star Eric Gordon, the Hoosiers played in front of a volatile Illini crowd. When IU won, it boosted its record to 19-3 while Illinois dropped to 2-9 in conference play.  Just 11 months later, things have dramatically changed, but the bitterness across the border remains. Although Sampson has been exiled from college basketball and Gordon has moved on to the NBA, Illinois coach Bruce Weber continues to add fuel to the rivalry between IU and U of I.

Dusting off the chart:

Wednesday’s overtime loss to Michigan left a bitter taste in the mouths of even the mildest of Hoosier fans. Imagine how Tom Crean felt.
