Universlam contest hits Bloomington

By Brian Buckey · Monday, Oct. 16,2006 11:27 p.m.

Kadour Ziani leaped over a small child huddled on the ground and hung in the air for longer than seemed possible. Then, at the peak of his jump, he scissor-kicked a basketball that was lodged in the corner of the rim. The feat was a move that Ziani calls the "Kick the Rim." Even though it wasn't a dunk, the crowd that had gathered at Sherwood Oaks Christian Church for Universlam was in awe of Ziani's incredible display of athleticism and flexibility.

UNIVERSLAM 2006

By Matt Mattucci · Friday, Oct. 13,2006 12:27 p.m.

Kadour Ziani wakes up everyday in an unfamiliar place, but with a familiar desire. He wants to dunk a basketball, and he wants to do it in a way that people will always remember. The 5-foot-11, 33-year-old Ziani has become famous for his dunks in contests he's participated in across the world and says he's a celebrity in his native France. Ziani recently arrived in Bloomington -- which he called the "basketball capital of the world" -- with no money but a lifetime's worth of riches. He's not looking for money or fame, though. All he wants to do is share his abilities and philosophies with the world.

Hardy always on the move

By Jake Brown and Jacob Brown · Friday, Oct. 13,2006 1:14 a.m.

Keeping track of sophomore wide receiver James Hardy during a game isn't easy. One play he's split wide right. The next play he's in the slot on the left. Next time he's in the slot on the right only to be split wide left the next drive. That is exactly how Hardy spent last week's game against Illinois. He moved across the formation throughout the game, barely lining up in the same spot twice in a row. He went on to have his best statistical game of the season, catching five balls for 67 yards.

Landis goes public with defense in doping

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Oct. 13,2006 1:10 a.m.

Floyd Landis took his case to the public Thursday with an online presentation including key elements of his defense against doping charges. Exhaustive as it appeared, his attorney said, "This is by no means everything." Landis is scheduled to go before an arbitration panel in January or February and formally appeal doping violations that could cost him his Tour de France and impose a two-year ban. Rather than wait several months to present his defense in a public form, portions of the case were posted on his Web site, www.floydlandis.com.
