Hoosier tennis teams set for grueling weekend

By Jonathan Hines · Friday, Jan. 27,2006 12:09 a.m.

The popular Internet song, "Peanut Butter Jelly Time," which features a dancing, rapping banana seems like a distracting tune for a tennis match. But not for No. 3 singles player Brianna Williams and the rest of IU's women's tennis team.

Hoosier wrestlers prepare for two top 10 opponents

By John Wustrow · Friday, Jan. 27,2006 12:04 a.m.

As the IU wrestling team enters its practice facility everyday, a quote on the wall stares down at them, reminding the members of the need to work hard. "Unless you have prepared and deserve to emerge victorious, do not expect to win or be disappointed when you lose," the saying reads.

Family Matters

By John Wustrow · Friday, Jan. 27,2006 12:02 a.m.

Redshirt freshman Andrae Hernandez has been a reliable starter for the IU wrestling team in the 133-pound division this season, jumping out to a 21-5 record, including a 9-2 record in dual competition. His backup, freshman Angel Escobedo, is a familiar face to him.

Hoosiers take it on the offensive

By Tim O Brien and Tim O'Brien · Thursday, Jan. 26,2006 12:50 a.m.

While struggling through a difficult 2004-05 season, the IU women's basketball team finished dead last in the Big Ten in scoring average (51.7 ppg) and field goal percentage (.352 overall). This season, under first year coach Sharon Versyp, the Hoosiers have moved up two spots into the 9-hole in the Big Ten with an average of 62.9 points per game. In comparing the two seasons, the jump in conference ranking might not seem like a major difference, but the increase in points has led to a jump in another important category -- wins. With the season barely past the halfway point, Versyp's Hoosiers have matched their win total from last season, 10, heading into tonight's game against Illinois.

IU hopes to move from middle of Big Ten pack

By Steve Brennan · Thursday, Jan. 26,2006 12:43 a.m.

With one month remaining in conference play, a log jam exists in the middle of the Big Ten standings. IU, Illinois and Michigan State are deadlocked in a three-way tie for fourth place. But the Hoosiers (10-8, 4-3) could distance themselves from both teams by the end of the weekend, as they welcome Illinois to Assembly Hall Thursday, before heading to East Lansing to face Michigan State on Saturday. Looking ahead to the Big Ten tournament, IU head coach Sharon Versyp knows that winning these games will greatly affect her team's postseason chances.

By Alyson Brodsy and Steve Herman · Wednesday, Jan. 25,2006 11:49 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS - Ron Artest might be headed to Sacramento after all. ESPN reported Wednesday that a deal sending the volatile Indiana Pacers forward to the Kings for sharpshooter Peja Stojakovic was back on, pending approval of Sacramento owners Gavin and Joe Maloof.

Artest met with Pacers CEO Donnie Walsh on Wednesday at Conseco Fieldhouse and apparently agreed to go to Sacramento.

Dungy announces return to Colts for 2006 season

By Alyson Brodsy and Michael Marot · Tuesday, Jan. 24,2006 12:54 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Tony Dungy needed one week to decide he still wants to be an NFL coach. Now it's back to pursuing that elusive Super Bowl run. The Indianapolis Colts said Monday that Dungy would return as their coach next season, ending speculation he might retire following the December death of his 18-year-old son, James. "I was always coming back unless I said I wasn't," Dungy said through the team . Dungy and team president Bill Polian were en route to the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., Monday and were unavailable for comment. The Associated Press left a phone message for team owner Jim Irsay.

Tuesday night 'golden' opportunity for IU

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Jan. 24,2006 12:53 a.m.

Like the men that once originated the nickname, this year's Hoosiers are heading west for a "Gold Rush." But unlike the Hoosiers of yesteryear, the 2006 variety is guaranteed to strike gold -- and plenty of it. The Hawkeyes and all their fans will be clad in their metallic-yellow getup for the program's first-ever "Gold Rush Game." "We're hoping to have a little fun and give our fans a chance to be a little student-like," Iowa coach Steve Alford said in a statement. "Because, as you know, the Hawk's Nest does a pretty good job of being gold on game night." Crowds and colored uniforms are the least of IU coach Mike Davis' worries as his No. 11 Hoosiers (12-3, 4-1) seek their first conference road win of the season. Davis said the Hawkeyes should be extra motivated after suffering a 30-point loss to Michigan State on Saturday. The last time Iowa (14-5, 3-2) lost before that, it responded with three straight victories, including an upset against No. 8 Illinois at home. "I thought (Iowa) was one of the top two teams in our league before the season started," Davis said. "It's going to be a difficult task."

By Alyson Brodsy and Jenna Fryer · Monday, Jan. 23,2006 1:01 a.m.

SEATTLE -- The Seattle Seahawks did what nobody else in the NFL could this year: stop Steve Smith. The Seahawks clamped down on Carolina's top playmaker, forcing the Panthers to search all over the field Sunday for someone else to step up. One problem -- Smith has been their only weapon all year and without him, they didn't stand a chance in the NFC championship game.

The Hoosiers took the courts Sunday against the visiting University of Kansas Jayhawks and cruised to a 5-2 win, improving their record to 3-0. IU's depth at singles played a large role in the outcome of the match as Kansas boasted a pair of talented Russians at the top of its lineup, including nationally ranked Ksenia Bukina.
