IU's numbers, play surging toward season's end

By Brian Janosch · Thursday, March 2,2006 11:49 p.m.

When the Hoosiers belted out "Auld Lang Syne" on New Year's Eve, they did so as one of the nation's top-scoring teams. They paced the Big Ten in assists and even led the nation in shooting percentage for a spell.

Hoosiers travel to Indy for Big Ten tournament

By Steve Brennan · Thursday, March 2,2006 12:39 a.m.

With the book officially closed on the regular season, the IU women's basketball team (15-12, 9-7) has completed an impressive one-year turnaround. The Hoosiers hope the resurgence continues as they begin Big Ten Tournament play Thursday against Michigan at Conseco Fieldhouse. Last season, the team finished 10-18 overall and 3-13 in the Big Ten before a loss to Wisconsin in the first round of the conference tournament. This season, the Hoosiers claimed five more wins overall and six more in the Big Ten -- a feat that has garnered them the No. 6 seed in the tournament. The seeding is the highest for the Hoosiers since 2002, when, as the No. 5 seed, they became the lowest seeded team to win the tournament.

IU powers past Boilermakers

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, March 2,2006 12:38 a.m.

It took two months, but the Hoosiers finally secured their first road win of 2006. Not since Dec. 31 against Ball State had IU (16-10, 8-7) tasted victory outside of Assembly Hall, but the team bucked that trend with a 45-point second half Wednesday to defeat Purdue 70-59. The Hoosiers trailed by two at halftime, but shot 71 percent in the second period and 75 percent from three to secure the win.

2 Hoosiers get taste of NFL life

By Matt Mattucci · Wednesday, March 1,2006 12:12 a.m.

Former IU offensive lineman Isaac Sowells quickly discovered the perks that the 2006 NFL combine had to offer its players -- interviews with head coaches, recognition from talent scouts and, unexpectedly, free room service. The combine is the NFL's annual pre-draft rating camp, where college prospects look to improve their draft status -- and their rookie paychecks -- by impressing scouts in numerous football skills tests.

Ultimate Frisbee team takes third

By Michelle Manchir · Tuesday, Feb. 28,2006 11:50 p.m.

Senior Jan Riccius is barely audible as he speaks about the Men's Ultimate Frisbee Club's participation in the Mardis Gras tournament this past weekend. As a result of his verbal celebration of the team's "intense" victories this Saturday and Sunday, his voice is little more than a raspy whisper.

Positive Hoosiers take on last-place Boilers

By Andy Romey · Tuesday, Feb. 28,2006 11:43 p.m.

IU will continue its fight for a spot in the NCAA Tournament tonight in West Lafayette armed with a few weapons that have gone missing for a while now. The first of which, surprisingly, can't be seen between the baselines. IU coach Mike Davis calls it attitude.

IU finishes 15th in weekend's Lady Puerto Rico Classic

By Sam Story · Tuesday, Feb. 28,2006 12:55 a.m.

What hampered play for his squad wasn't a mystery to IU women's golf coach Clint Wallman as it played this past weekend at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. "We did some good things ... but I thought the wind gave us some trouble," the coach said. Heavy winds and the rust of an offseason were two big factors that kept the IU women's golf team from hitting full stride in its first event of the spring season. Not that all was bad: the Hoosiers' overall score of 969 (322-321-326) put the Hoosiers in 15th place after all was said and done. Senior Shannon Johnson spearheaded the charge for the cream and crimson as she continued to show why she is one of the best in the Big Ten after carding 17 consecutive rounds of below 80. She fired a 73 on the opening day and followed with rounds of 78 and 77, respectively. Her three-day score of 228 was good enough for a 31st finish overall.

No. 31 Hoosiers face undefeated Fighting Irish squad

By Jonathan Hines · Tuesday, Feb. 28,2006 12:53 a.m.

Coming off an upset of No. 28 Tennessee last weekend, the IU women's tennis team faces a challenge on the road this afternoon in South Bend. The No. 31 Hoosiers will take on in-state rival and undefeated Notre Dame. The No. 7 Fighting Irish are off to their best start in 20 years, winning their first nine matches of the season, including wins against No. 10 North Carolina and No. 13 Harvard. "We have to play awfully well (to win)," said IU coach Lin Loring. "I think if we get off to a good start, it will be a good match."

Early combine results include Young Wonderlic rumors, controversy

By Alyson Brodsy and Cliff Brunt · Tuesday, Feb. 28,2006 12:49 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Houston Texans general manager Charley Casserly would not rule out trading the No. 1 pick in the draft to try to improve his 2-14 team. Casserly named three players as standing above the rest: Quarterbacks Vince Young from Texas, Matt Leinart from USC and all-purpose back Reggie Bush, also from USC. Most analysts believe the Texans will take the multitalented Bush. But Casserly left several possibilities open, including trading the pick. "We need a lot of things," he said. "I think we've got a nucleus. I don't think we're as bad as our record, but we're not a playoff team. We can make a jump here if things are hit right between free agency and the draft."

TURIN, Italy -- Across 16 topsy-turvy days in Turin, the U.S. Olympic team teetered somewhere between torment and triumph, each step up to the medal stand tempered by one step back somewhere else.
