No. 10 men's swimming defeats No. 17 Wildcats

·

Senior Ryan Fagan broke a 16-year-old record held by Olympic gold medalist Mark Lenzi as the No. 10 Hoosiers defeated the No. 17 University of Kentucky 160-137 in Lexington, Ky. Fagan shattered the record with a 399.30, becoming only the third Hoosier to surpass the 380-mark on the three-meter dive. Fagan also blew away the rest of the field in the one-meter dive competition with a score of 321.22. His closest competitor was Kentucky's Justin Smith, with a score of 287.70.

Women's hoops rout UM

·

Last season Michigan entered its game against IU on a six-game losing streak and winless in the Big Ten. The Wolverines finished the game with a two-point advantage for their only conference victory of the season. Sunday, the circumstances were eerily similar.

Dubuque reaches personal milestone with victory

Heavyweight matches usually stay close and rarely earn bonus points. But, then again, they are usually at the end of the dual meets. So when sophomore heavyweight Dave Herman started out the day for the No. 15 Hoosiers by posting a four-point major decision, it set the tone for IU's 31-7 victory over Ohio State Friday night at University Gym. The Hoosiers also beat Purdue in West Lafayette Sunday 24-13 to start out the Big Ten season with a 2-0 record and an 11-0 record overall.

Next Bus stop for Steelers: the Super Bowl

·

DENVER -- Happy homecoming, Jerome Bettis. The NFL's fifth-leading career rusher doesn't ask much of his Pittsburgh teammates, but now that each game could be his last, the senior Steeler called in a favor during an impassioned pep talk before the AFC championship game in Denver. "Just get me to Detroit," said Bettis, who came back this season mostly for the chance to end his career by playing in the Super Bowl in his hometown. "Just get me to Detroit."

IU outlasts pesky Purdue for share of Big Ten lead

·

Not since 1972 has the IU-Purdue rivalry been this one-sided. With their 62-49 win against the Boilermakers Saturday, the Hoosiers have won six in a row and nine of the last 11 rivalry meetings. Purdue held a similar dominance over the series in the early 1970s, and the last time IU saw this much success was 1955.

Wilmont, Monroe released after 'misunderstanding'

·

Following IU's win against Purdue on Saturday, senior Lewis Monroe and junior Rod Wilmont found themselves being questioned, but not about their decisions on the court. The two basketball players became entangled in a misunderstanding when an IU Police Department officer pulled over Wilmont, who was driving Monroe's car, for a traffic violation on 17th Street, said IUPD Sgt. Andy Stephenson, citing a police report.

BOILED OVER

·

IU hoops and Boilermaker football are the main expressions of in-state Hoosier rivalry. Perhaps fewer fans of the diametrically opposed Indiana universities know the way the athletic rivalry is actually gauged: in the form of the AT&T Crimson and Gold Cup, an all-encompassing IU-Purdue sports competition that assigns rankings to each sport in equal value and compiles a score based on the individual sports' yearly results.

Reserve Kline helps team despite criticisms, boos on home court

·

In five years at IU, senior forward Sean Kline -- an all-state selection coming out of high school -- has been more of a punch line than the powerhouse he was figured to be. To put it simply, things just haven't gone his way at all. In 2004, his season ended in West Lafayette when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament -- an injury that still bothers him. But at the start of this season, Kline came tearing onto Branch McCracken Court a different man.

Hoosier swimmers vie for supremacy over Purdue

·

The storied IU-Purdue rivalry will continue Saturday as the No. 18 women's swimming and diving team welcomes its arch-rival, the No. 14 Boilermakers, to the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center on senior day. The Hoosiers will honor seniors Kristin Bradley, Heather Chapman, Doherty Colgin, Lauren Lubus and Lauren Torpey.

Super Bowl teams to be set on Sunday

·

PITTSBURGH -- Colts quarterback Peyton Manning's arm-waving, finger-pointing and nonstop gesturing at the line of scrimmage seemed especially frantic against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and for good reason.

Super Bowl teams to be set on Sunday

·

SEATTLE -- The road to the Super Bowl never leads through Carolina. Instead, it leads the Panthers all over the map. Two years ago, the team went to St. Louis and Philadelphia in the playoffs, won both times and made its first NFL championship game appearance. This winter, the stops have been in the Northeast (23-0 over the Giants), the Midwest (29-21 over the Bears) and, now, the Pacific Northwest, where the Seahawks await Sunday in the NFC title game.

IU falls to 3-3 in Big Ten play

·

Last Thursday, the IU women's basketball team won its third Big Ten game of the year in a game at Northwestern. After the win, IU coach Sharon Versyp gave her team three days off before they would come back and prepare for their game with No. 7 Ohio State. In the early moments of last night's game with the Buckeyes, it seemed that the extra rest had backfired for Versyp and the Hoosiers as Ohio State jumped out of the gates strong, taking an early 12-2 lead.

Hoosiers prepare for 'great challenge' against Buckeyes

·

For many Big Ten teams, winning conference games on the road is difficult. And winning more away games than home games is almost unheard of. Except for the IU women's basketball team. The Hoosiers (9-7, 3-2 Big Ten) have earned all three of their conference victories on the road. However, their two losses have both occurred in Assembly Hall.

FULL-COURT PRESS

·

A Bloomington court storming was long overdue. Gray-haired women standing courtside, holding strands of yellow string were no match for more than 17,000 fans after a 62-60 upset of No. 7 Illinois.
