Hoosiers keep winning ways into new year

·

All season long, IU coach Felisha Legette-Jack has preached to her team about playing Indiana basketball. That ideology has led her Hoosiers to a 12-3 record overall and a 1-2 record in the competitive Big Ten Conference.

Hoosiers almost there

·

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- There the Hoosiers were, at it again. Down five points with 2:01 to play, freshman Joey Shaw stripped the ball from the University of Kentucky's Ramel Bradley near IU's basket. Shaw hit a layup. The Hoosiers were now down three.

'76 ring worth more than cash

·

The recent selling of the Hoosiers' 1976 basketball championship ring has provoked many evaluations of the item itself. But what was lost among all the hoopla is the man behind the ring. The first 1976 championship ring sold on eBay for $50,100 on Dec. 3. But this price does not capture the value put on the ring by its late owner Harold Andreas, former player Kent Benson said.

Taking sides

·

On Saturday afternoon, the Hoosiers will face the Kentucky Wildcats for the 50th time in the history of the border states' rivalry. That's 50 games pitting two of college basketball's most storied programs against one another. In the balance of the previous 49 games, the two teams have traveled to neutral sites, competed for heart-wrenching finishes and suffered heart-breaking blowouts.

Old friends, new rivals

·

Compared to their personal relationship, IU men's basketball coach Kelvin Sampson and Kentucky coach Tubby Smith don't have much of a coaching history together. Despite the success both coaches have had at Division I programs, the duo's teams have only met once -- 12 years ago, in Sampson's first season at the University of Oklahoma. Sampson's Sooners beat Smith's University of Tulsa squad 76-61. Their next meeting, finally, will be noon Saturday at Rupp Arena, as Sampson looks for his second win over Smith in their series together. It is a pairing devoid of many basketball games but filled with respect, friendship and warmth, Sampson said. "There's not a lot of people who, if something happened to you, you would want them to raise your children," Sampson said. "That's the way I feel about Tubby." For their second meeting, Sampson is in his first year in the IU program. And this time, the two friends' squads are bitter enemies with a 50-game, 82-year-old rivalry. The Hoosiers (5-2), though still developing and learning their new coach's system, are coming off a 52-point rout of Western Illinois University on Wednesday. The Hoosiers' two losses have come against now-ranked opponents Butler (No. 15) and Duke (No. 7).
