Finding a home on the hardcourt

By Jordan Cohen · Monday, Jan. 12,2009 12:26 a.m.

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

By Matt Dollinger · Saturday, Jan. 10,2009 7:08 p.m.

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’

By Tom Kirby · Friday, Jan. 9,2009 12 a.m.

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.

Colts barely edge lowly Lions

By Michael Sanserino · Sunday, Dec. 14,2008 10:55 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS – Whew. That was almost embarrassing. The Colts squeaked past the hapless Lions 31-21 in a game closer than the score indicated. Maybe the Colts forgot just because the Lions were 0-13 doesn’t mean they don’t get paid to play, too.

Kentucky E(Rupp)tion

By Tom Kirby · Sunday, Dec. 14,2008 10:50 p.m.

LEXINGTON, Ky – IU coach Tom Crean can prepare his young Hoosiers to the best of his abilities and have them ready for anything. But as IU has found out this season, you can’t prepare for height. Or athleticism. Kentucky jumped out to a 32-6 run and never looked back, crushing the Hoosiers 72-54. IU, now 5-5, never brought the game to single digits after Kentucky’s, now 7-3, initial spurt and could only muster 13 first-half points – its fewest total since its second-round NCAA Tournament loss to UCLA in 2007.
