By Aaron Beard · Monday, Jan. 15,2007 11:13 p.m.

The No. 15 IU wrestling team showed Eastern Illinois why it's earned that ranking this weekend in a staggering 41-4 victory against the Panthers.

For the fifth year in a row and eight of the last nine seasons, the Hoosiers and Panthers have competed during the regular season. IU has won all eight matches.

Hoosiers head home for Hawkeyes

By Matt Mattucci · Monday, Jan. 15,2007 11:12 p.m.

The IU men's basketball team will return home Tuesday night to face the Iowa Hawkeyes after a successful weekend trip to State College, Pa. The Hoosiers defeated Penn State 84-74 behind a career-high 25 points and 12 boards from senior guard Rod Wilmont. The Hoosiers improved to 12-4 overall and 3-1 in Big Ten play with the victory. "Rod threw up a couple of vomit shots the other day," coach Kelvin Sampson said during a press conference Monday. "I doubt we had anybody else on this team that would even think about shooting some of his shots, but what are you going to say to Rod? I thought he did a good job defending (Penn State forward Geary) Claxton and their half-court sets. He had 12 rebounds and was busting his tail."

'Team chemistry' leads Hoosiers to weekend win

By Brian Buckey · Monday, Jan. 15,2007 11:11 p.m.

IU swimming coach Ray Looze has been coaching long enough to know that it doesn't always take the most talented team to get the best results. He points to the unity and chemistry of this year's women's swimming and diving squad as the key to its undefeated start.

English superstar David Beckham won't be the only newcomer to the Los Angeles Galaxy. Former IU standout and 2006 Big Ten Player of the Year Josh Tudela was drafted by the Galaxy in the second round of the MLS draft on Friday afternoon. That means Tudela will be teammates with Beckham, a former English captain who led Manchester United to six league titles, two FA Cups and a Champions League title. Beckham signed a five-year, $250 million contract with the Galaxy on Thursday.

Student-led chant draws criticism

By Eamonn Brennan · Thursday, Jan. 11,2007 11:59 p.m.

As Georgette Billings sat in Section J of Assembly Hall on Wednesday night, it wasn't the play on the court that was displeasing her. After all, the Hoosiers she has been devoted to since 1942 were in the middle of demolishing in-state rival Purdue 85-58. Instead, it was what the 88-year-old later found out the IU students were chanting -- a thundering chorus of "stand up, old people" -- that caused her to call the Indiana Daily Student offices Thursday morning and politely lodge a complaint. "I just thought it was a little bit rude," said Billings, who said she's owned season tickets to IU football and basketball games for 38 years. "I stand, I cheer. I'm not mad about it at all -- I guess it just sort of hit me in the wrong way this morning." Billings' comments were just part of the reaction to a series of student chants at Assembly Hall on Wednesday night. IU Athletics Director Rick Greenspan was among those who reacted to the chants immediately after the game, saying he hoped to convey a message to students that the department appreciated their support but hoped they would cheer with "class" in the future.

It was a game the Hoosiers were supposed to win and a game they had all but wrapped up. The IU women's basketball team (13-5, 2-3) lost to the Iowa Hawkeyes (11-7, 3-2) 71-67 on Thursday night at Assembly Hall, in a game in which the Hoosiers dominated until the seven-minute mark in the second half.

Undefeated No. 21 Hoosiers set to face Eastern Illinois in dual meet

By DeAntae Prince · Thursday, Jan. 11,2007 11:57 p.m.

As the IU wrestling team practiced on the court level of Assembly Hall, the giant arena filled with intensity. Coach Duane Goldman paced back and forth, yelling "dig deep" to his wrestlers who tussled with one another in an attempt to put their opponents against the padded wrestling-room walls.

Big Ten road games have not been kind to the IU men's basketball team. Since 1992 -- a year when the Hoosiers went 8-1 on the road en route to a conference title -- the Hoosiers are a combined 38-61 away from Assembly Hall.

Hoosiers return to action

By Kevin Kane · Thursday, Jan. 11,2007 11:53 p.m.

It's been about 10 weeks since the IU women's tennis team's last event. With Sunday marking the beginning of the team's dual-match portion of the season, the Hoosiers will be as concerned with playing up to their capabilities as they will be about their two opponents on Sunday, Western Michigan and Miami of Ohio.

Back in Gold and Black

By John Wustrow · Thursday, Jan. 11,2007 11:52 p.m.

All week long, IU women's basketball coach Felisha Legette-Jack avoided questions about Sharon Versyp. She was trying to keep her team focused on Iowa, not Versyp, the former IU and current Purdue head coach. After Thursday's 71-67 loss against the Hawkeyes, Legette-Jack still wasn't ready to look ahead to the Boilermakers. "It's a 24-hour window," Legette-Jack said. "(Friday) we're going to get back to work. We'll start working on ourselves for a day, and then we'll start thinking about Purdue maybe Saturday." The Hoosiers (13-5, 2-3 ) travel to West Lafayette on Sunday to take on the No. 13 Boilermakers (15-3, 4-1) and their former coach, who left IU after one season to take the coaching job with her alma mater.

Sharper: Grossman talked trash during Bears' first win

By Alyson Brodsy and Rick Gano · Thursday, Jan. 11,2007 3:52 p.m.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Minnesota safety Darren Sharper remembers it clearly, though it's been more than two months since Chicago quarterback Rex Grossman threw a late touchdown pass to beat the Vikings at the Metrodome. What happened next seems un-Rex like. The Bears' young quarterback started to talk trash to the Vikings. Apparently big-time. "In 10 years in the league I haven't had a quarterback do that any time to me, so we definitely remember that, and the guys in the locker room remember that," Sharper said Wednesday as the teams got ready for a rematch Sunday at Soldier Field.

Purdue unable to engineer victory

By Eamonn Brennan · Thursday, Jan. 11,2007 12:32 a.m.

If there was one change from the first half to the second in IU's 85-58 victory over Purdue Wednesday night, it was IU's growing lead. It started at 12, thanks to IU's stifling defense, which held the Boilermakers to just 22 points in the first half.

Ratliff leads Hoosier bench, tallies 16 points with cast on left wrist

By Matt Mattucci · Thursday, Jan. 11,2007 12:09 a.m.

IU junior A.J. Ratliff played Wednesday night's game against Purdue with a cast on his left wrist. But that didn't stop the guard from coming off the Hoosiers' bench and pouring in 16 points, including a 4-for-4 tab from beyond the arc and a perfect 6-for-6 from the field. Ratliff and the rest of the IU reserves combined for 46 points during the Hoosiers' 85-58 victory against Purdue. "It feels good," Ratliff said of his performance. "I did a lot of shooting this week, a lot of shooting when I was out with that injury. The ball felt good coming out of my hands and my teammates were getting it to me when I was open."

Legette-Jack not looking past conference rival Hawkeyes

By John Wustrow · Thursday, Jan. 11,2007 12:05 a.m.

IU women's basketball coach Felisha Legette-Jack knows the importance of having a focused team. During Tuesday's Big Ten coaches conference call, Legette-Jack was asked about Sunday's game against Purdue, a team coached by Sharon Versyp, who was the Hoosiers' head coach just one year ago.
