Wright named second team Big Ten

·

Three members of the men's basketball team received All-Big Ten awards Tuesday. Sophomore guard Bracey Wright was named to the second team by both the coaches and the media. He was third in the league in scoring at 18.7 points per game. He needs just 10 points to join the 1,000-point club at IU. Senior forward A.J. Moye was named an honorable mention by the media. The 6-foot-3 Moye led the Hoosiers in rebounding at 6.2 per game, eighth in the league.

SRSC patrons pumped by tunes

Junior Jonathan Garber works out three days a week at the Student Recreational Sports Center. His workout routine consists of cardiovascular exercise and strength training. But what he likes most is the background music playing while he works out in the weight room. The different genres parallel his workout.

Birds of a different feather

·

I wonder if Pampers is looking for a new spokesman? Because I found one. Say hi to Terrell Owens, who, after eight years of crying in San Francisco, the big baby -- also known as T.O. -- finally cried loud enough that the 49ers gave him a new toy in a trade to Baltimore. But like a toddler opening up a gift and finding tube socks, Terrell is crying again.

Doubles duo makes national rankings

·

Being friends on the court is part of the territory when it comes to playing sports for any team. But the friendship sophomore John Stone and junior Ryan Recht have off the court has led to success on the tennis courts as they achieved the No. 49 national ranking in doubles in late February. In the season thus far, the Hoosier tandem has compiled a record of 10-4 at the No. 1 doubles slot for the Hoosiers. They have done this against some of the top competition in the country and were able to pull off an upset earlier in the season, before they were nationally ranked in defeating Middle Tennessee State's No. 30, Trevor Short and Kirk Jackson 8-4 Jan. 24. Before they achieved national-ranking status, they began the season ranked No. 13 in the Midwest Region and were able to defeat the No. 9 team in the Midwest from Ball State 9-7 -- which paced the Hoosiers in the victory over the Cardinals. Being nationally ranked was a nice feeling for Stone and Recht in light of the hard work from the fall season and carrying it over into a successful start in the regular season, Recht said. "It was a great feeling going through that list and to see our names on there," Recht said. "I wasn't expecting it right away, but it was a good feeling." This isn't the first time the duo played together, as they were able to finish out the regular season as partners last year and were able to compile a 5-6 record, including 3-3 in the Big Ten.

Hoosiers end year below .500

·

As the losses continue to mount for the Hoosiers, so does the frustration. IU finished with its first losing regular season since 1969-70, as No. 17 Wisconsin won 70-52 Saturday in Assembly Hall. Now, without a championship in next week's Big Ten Tournament, the Hoosiers (13-14, 7-9 Big Ten) won't make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 18 years. Without at least two wins in the Big Ten Tournament, the Hoosiers won't even make the National Invitational Tournament.

A tough goodbye

·

Before the game was even over, the look on senior forward A.J. Moye's face summed up the entire Big Ten season of IU basketball. And even after thousands chanted Moye's infamous "A.J. Moye" cheer and a few started up a cheer for senior center George Leach, the emotions still weren't satisfying for Moye. Sad. Disappointed. Frustrated. All words Moye used to describe his feelings after IU's (13-14, 7-9) 70-52 loss to Wisconsin (21-6, 12-4) senior night.

Seniors say goodbye

·

The IU men's basketball team is going to end its Big Ten season playing the same Wisconsin team it opened against -- and lost to by 34 points Jan. 6. It's a game senior center George Leach didn't even want to talk about after IU's win over Michigan Wednesday night. The game will be one of the most emotional nights of his basketball career, playing for the last time in Assembly Hall. "Nobody wants to play in their final home game," Leach said. "Of course it will be sad." IU's other senior to see action in Assembly Hall for the last time is forward A.J. Moye. Moye said he wishes he could play at Indiana for ten more years. "I wish it was like the NBA or something," Moye said. "I love this crowd, man. I think they just respect my heart and my effort."

Ravens acquire Terrell Owens BALTIMORE -- Four-time Pro Bowl receiver Terrell Owens was traded to the Baltimore Ravens by San Francisco Thursday after a paperwork error prevented him from becoming a free agent. Owens, who quarreled with coaches, teammates and opponents during the last few seasons, was given permission by the 49ers to seek a deal after his agent failed to file a document voiding the final years of his contract. He gives Baltimore the top receiver it has been lacking for years, even in 2000, when it won the Super Bowl. Owens was among several players required to file for free agency by a deadline recently moved up 10 days for players who signed their contracts before the league's 2001 collective bargaining agreement went into effect. Owens has spent all eight of his NFL seasons with the 49ers, who drafted him in the third round in 1996.

Playing unranked teams for the first time since early January, the Hoosiers return from a blowout win at Marquette and a hard fought 5-2 loss at Notre Dame as they look to take care of business at home, this time as the favorite to win.
