Battling through change

After four years playing college basketball, senior forward Amber Jackson got to do one thing for the first time in November. She played in front of her mother.

A new year, a new jersey

By Matt Dollinger · Thursday, Jan. 15,2009 11:51 p.m.

In three seasons, Eric Gordon has gone from a man among boys to a boy among men. “Look how fresh he is!” screamed one of Gordon’s NBA teammates. “He got his draft suit on!” The former Hoosier wasn’t wearing the cream blazer he donned on draft night when he was selected seventh overall by the Los Angeles Clippers, but he was unusually dressed up.A herd of local reporters waited to interview Gordon as he changed meticulously following his hometown pro debut. If “E.J.” had his choice, he’d likely prefer to keep to himself by his locker. Instead, he was moments away from answering questions about the game-winning shot he made in double-overtime to lift the Clippers over the Indiana Pacers.

RUNNING THE FLOOR: IU must see through the losing

By Zachary Osterman · Wednesday, Jan. 14,2009 1:03 a.m.

Back in my tender high school years, I played football, the proud second-generation Riverwood Raider that I was. My sophomore year, we went completely winless, 0-10, only pulling one victory when it was discovered that an opponent plied the use of an ineligible substitute.

Hoosiers overwhelmed by early deficits

By Matt Dollinger · Wednesday, Jan. 14,2009 12:27 a.m.

If you miss the first five minutes of a Hoosier road game this season, you might not want to bother tuning in. Odds are the game is already over.The IU men's basketball team has gotten in a bad habit of letting opponents build large leads in the opening minutes of a game. Add Ohio State to that growing list. The Buckeyes used an early onslaught to bury the Hoosiers by 24 Tuesday.

RUNNING THE FLOOR: IU must see through the losing

By Zachary Osterman · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2009 11:45 p.m.

Back in my tender high school years, I played football, the proud second-generation Riverwood Raider that I was. My sophomore year, we went completely winless, 0-10, only pulling one victory when it was discovered that an opponent plied the use of an ineligible substitute. It was a rough year to be sure, but we hired a new coach the next March, Harris Rainbow (seriously), a young, energetic soul with real vision for the program. Old coach Rainbow, all of 25, set about trying to instill a sense of pride and toughness into our listless program. He did a good job in the preseason.

IU searches for leaders as it preps for Buckeyes

By Tom Kirby · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2009 12:18 a.m.

As the season progresses and losses continue to mount for the Hoosiers, IU coach Tom Crean has often said the main problem with a young team is the lack of a true leader. When things have gone south, as they did against Illinois on Saturday, Crean said the Hoosiers need to find a confident player to help guide the squad out of slumps.Complicating matters even more for Crean is the uncertainty of the status of junior Devan Dumes, one of the more confident shooters on the team. Dumes left the Illinois game with a sprained ankle, and Crean said the team is in wait-and-see mode for Tuesday’s battle against Ohio State.

Wild NFL postseason continues

By Geoffrey Miller · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2009 12 a.m.

Did anyone really see this coming? The top three seeds in the NFL’s NFC have been bounced from playoff contention. On the other side, Tennessee’s top spot in the AFC meant nothing as a rookie quarterback downed the Titans to accomplish something no other rookie has done – win two playoff games. Back in the NFC, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb is making phone calls for penalties, and the Arizona Cardinals – yes, the Arizona freakin’ Cardinals – will play host to the NFC title game.

Ohio: the home of 2 different Hoosiers

By Zachary Osterman · Tuesday, Jan. 13,2009 12 a.m.

Eric Arnett and Tom Pritchard probably could not be more different. Pritchard is the new face of IU basketball, a loyal, late-blooming commit who weathered the storm that was Kelvin Sampson and is now a likely Big Ten Freshman of the Year candidate. He’s a blossoming post presence Tom Crean may rely on for years to come. Arnett won’t even be on the basketball team another week. Brought on in the fall as an extra body in practice, Arnett makes his real living as a pitcher on the IU baseball team, and a rather accomplished one at that. Arnett could dress but not play this year for the Hoosiers, who didn’t want to count another scholarship against their limit. He’ll return to the baseball team following tonight’s game at Ohio State.
