While awaiting a contingent of IU divers for the NCAA Championships, the other half of the 13th best team in the country might be the biggest cheerleaders this weekend. No squad in the nation understands the importance of its springboard counterparts than the IU swimmers.

Gall stands tall as IU's lone women's track competitor

By John Fischer · Friday, March 11,2005 12:15 a.m.

Ryan 'n' Ryan weigh in on the rest of the country

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, March 10,2005 12:21 a.m.

I know the No. 2 Tar Heels should be the obvious pick here, but I like the No. 3 Demon Deacons' chances. Wake Forest will be without their star point guard Chris Paul today, while he serves his one game suspension for punching N.C. State's Julius Hodge in the groin Sunday.

Conference celebrates 100th birthday

By Josh Weinfus and Josh Weinfuss · Thursday, March 10,2005 12:16 a.m.

Everett Dean, say thank you. Mike Davis, say thank you, too. Branch McCracken, say thanks. Oh, and Bob Knight, you too. Say thank you to Amos Alonzo Stagg for bringing basketball to the Big Ten. The same Stagg who is better known for his excellence in football at the University of Chicago and started that school playing basketball in 1894 -- 11 years before the Big Ten conference began its basketball league.

No. 27 Hoosiers to cap off tough non conference season

By Andy Romey · Thursday, March 10,2005 12:13 a.m.

A win in today's 3 p.m. match against No. 20 Texas Christian University would let the No. 27 Hoosiers do two things. It would send them walking out of the IU Varsity Tennis Center with their first win out of six matches against top-20 ranked opponents this spring. It also would be a good way to close out one of the hardest non conference schedules in the country.

Strickland balances books, beakers and basketball

By Josh Weinfus and Josh Weinfuss · Wednesday, March 9,2005 1:12 a.m.

He's your typical IU point guard. He's 6-feet-2-inches tall, about 195 pounds, has the quickness of a jaguar and the hands of a surgeon. With his mind constantly working, thinking two steps ahead of everyone else, his smile can electrify a crowd. And that's only in the biology lab. For Marshall Strickland, the basketball court isn't the only place he's able to showcase his skills.

Team names add creativity, vulgarity to intramural sports

By Gavin Lesnick · Wednesday, March 9,2005 12:42 a.m.

In the end, "We Aren't Gonna Lose" lost, "Super Awesome" wasn't, "The Answer" couldn't find one in the win column and "Team Forfeit Win" forfeited all their games. "Godzilla" bested "Artest's Army," "Big Scary Dinosaurs" couldn't take down the "No Names," and "I Don't Know" faced off against "Bo Doesn't Know" in what was surely a contest of who didn't know more. "We Love Mike Davis" never did get a chance to play "Bring Bobby Back," and "We're Dating Your Sister" -- at the advice of an opponent -- treated her well.
