Ready for redemption

·

It's been 217 days since the Hoosiers' loss to Illinois ended last season. That's 217 days for Hoosier fans to remember the worst men's basketball season in 34 years.

Hoosiers running for victories

·

There are two ways a team can qualify for the NCAA Cross Country Championships held in Terre Haute in late November. The first is to finish among the top two teams at the NCAA Great Lakes District meet. The other is to amass enough wins over quality teams to receive an at-large bid. IU's first chance at gathering wins came at the Notre Dame Invitational two weeks ago, where they secured a win over the University of Florida, a virtual lock for an automatic bid out of the South Region. IU's next chance is tomorrow at the Pre-NCAA meet, held in Terre Haute as an opportunity for teams to take a trial run on the NCAA course.

Schilling will not start Game 5 because of ankle BOSTON -- Curt Schilling will miss a start for the first time all season -- and just when the Red Sox need him most. The Boston ace was scratched from his scheduled start in Game 5 of the AL championship series against the New York Yankees because of an injured ankle that was too sore to test Thursday. Manager Terry Francona wouldn't rule Schilling out for a later start -- if the Red Sox make it that far.
