IU advanced to the finals in nine out of 15 events Saturday after a long night of preliminaries Friday for a total of four victories.

Chauncey Billups scored 20 points and Tayshaun Prince had 16 points and seven rebounds as the Detroit Pistons used a balanced scoring attack to defeat the Indiana Pacers 88-76 Thursday night. It was the second meeting between the teams since Nov. 19, when Pacers players brawled with Pistons fans after Ben Wallace shoved Ron Artest. Both games have been in Indianapolis, and both times the Pistons have won. The teams face each for the last time in the regular season March 25 at Detroit. That will be Indiana's first trip back to the Palace of Auburn Hills since the fight.

By Andrew Petersen · Friday, Jan. 28,2005 2:08 a.m.

University Park is the next stop for the IU road show, where the grapplers will look to avenge a 37-4 drubbing last January in Bloomington. The Hoosiers, at 12-1 is off to their best start since the 1995-96 season, have never won in six meetings against Penn State. Coach Duane Goldman will get an opportunity to reverse that trend Friday. He will have a full lineup to work with for the first time in weeks. Two starters were held out last week because of a bout with the flu.

Headaches continue with IU away from home

By Dan Click · Friday, Jan. 28,2005 2 a.m.

All season long IU has been mired in road difficulties, and that didn't change Thursday night as the Hoosiers fell to Illinois 53-43 in Champaign, Ill. The same problems that have been plaguing IU (8-10, Big Ten 1-7) throughout Big Ten play -- scoring droughts and turnovers -- ended any chance the Hoosiers had of picking up their first conference road win. Despite sluggish play, IU had many chances to even the score toward the game's end.

Duke loses for 1st time this season as its top trio falters DURHAM, N.C. -- When Duke needed a basket, J.J. Redick tried to deliver. The streaky scorer took 3-pointers, stepped inside the arc for midrange jumpers and even drove to the basket. Very few of his shots went in as Maryland's stifling defense sent the Blue Devils to their first loss.
