Tough practices act as inspiration

·

Downstairs in Assembly Hall where the IU wrestling team practices, quotes fill the red and white walls. Meant for inspiration and motivation, one of them reads, "Unless You Have Prepared Yourself and Deserve to Emerge Victorious, Do Not Expect to Win or Be Disappointed When You Lose." Another quote on the wall spells out, "Work Develops Champions." They are especially relevant to this team, which battles through physically grinding practices and voluntary workouts to maintain their weight and endurance.

In the spirit of goodwill

It's warm, there's beach music playing, people are playing volleyball and a surfboard strives to buck its rider into the waves. Yet, there is a significant lack of drunken college students foolishly showing off their unmentionables.

Hoosiers unhappy with second half

·

Eight seconds were left on the clock, and Illinois had whittled IU's lead down to one. Sophomore Cyndi Valentin played damage control and drilled a jumper to put the score at 28-25 to give IU some breathing room, but Illinois junior Tiffanie Guthrie had a different idea as she heaved a 35-foot shot and drilled it to knot the game at 28.

IU wins 3, loses 1 in San Diego

·

The Hoosiers traveled to San Diego beginning with play on Saturday against No. 15 UC-Irvine, in a match that featured another come-from behind victory by IU coach Barry King's squad. UCI jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first half but IU matched them at three a piece right before the break. In the second half, the match seesawed back and forth until the final minute of play when freshman Kristin Zernicke netted the game winning goal off an assist from fellow freshman Janis Pardy. Saturday afternoon the Hoosiers battled No. 4 Long Beach State. IU stayed in the match throughout most of the first half and third period, and was down only two goals with one period left to play. Unfortunately, LBSU came out with more intensity in the last period of play, scoring three times while holding IU scoreless for a final of 9-4.

Home football attendance ranks low

Basketball to Indiana is what apple pie is to the United States. Nothing better symbolizes our state than the orange leather ball. But is Indiana so obsessed with basketball to forget about this country's most popular sport?

Heart-breaker in double overtime

·

Even a miracle tip-in to send it to overtime and a long three-pointer to send it to double-overtime couldn't save the Hoosiers Saturday as they fell 84-82 to the Iowa Hawkeyes. Iowa sophomore guard Jeff Horner scored on a lay-up with 1.6 seconds left in the second extra period. The loss is the third straight for IU (11-9, 5-4 Big Ten), its second in a row at home. "It was just a back and forth game, and it came down to who wanted it more, and I think they just outplayed us," IU sophomore guard Marshall Strickland said. "Iowa wanted it more today. It was back and forth, and we had opportunity after opportunity to put them away, we just couldn't do it. They out-fought us today." The Hoosiers managed just two points in the second overtime, but the game was still within its reach. IU came up with a stop on a missed shot by Iowa senior guard Brody Boyd. But Horner pulled down the offensive rebound with 17 seconds left, pulled it out and then drove for the winning points for Iowa (12-8, 5-4).
