Fans commiserate loss to Patriots

By Alex Hickey · Tuesday, Jan. 20,2004 1:10 a.m.

An epidemic of football fever swept across Bloomington Sunday as Colts fans showed up en masse and filled every table at Yogi's Bar and Grill to watch their team go for its first Super Bowl appearance in Indianapolis franchise history. However, the New England Patriots defense was effectively able to subdue the Colts offense and the crowd's collective mood in a 24-14 AFC Championship victory. As is often the case before the big game, fans were in good spirits. People razzed the announcers any time they suggested that the Colts might lose, or in the case of Deion Sanders, every time he opened his mouth. When Dan Marino picked the Patriots before the game, someone asked, "What do you know about the Super Bowl?" When quarterback Tom Brady marched the Patriots offense onto the field for the first time, he was met by the cry of "Pretty boy!"

OT win ends two game skid

By Dan Patrick · Tuesday, Jan. 20,2004 12:14 a.m.

If any word can sum up IU's 58-55 overtime win it, would be streaky. IU and Northwestern traded scoring tirades, traded the lead eight times and tied the score seven times. The Hoosiers faced tough outside shooting from the Wildcats, who hit five of their first six shots from behind the arc. Northwestern's sharp shooting, led by Wildcat freshman Alex Mueller, who hit three consecutive three's in the first half, put IU into an early 23-14 deficit.

Hoosiers sweep Boilers

By Jeff Fuldauer · Tuesday, Jan. 20,2004 12:13 a.m.

The brooms came out Saturday night as the Hockey Hoosiers capped off a sweep of in-state and division rival Purdue. IU won the first game, played in Fishers, Ind., 6-2 and netted their second win of the weekend with a 5-2 effort in Bloomington the following day. The two rivals treated fans to classic contests between the bitter rivals, highlighted by countless penalty minutes and a benches-clearing brawl. With time winding down in the second period of Friday's game, a Purdue defenseman threw an illegal knee on a fast-breaking Hoosier. As the IU team responded to protect their downed skater, the benches from both sides cleared and pandemonium ensued. IU then rallied, putting the game out of reach by killing a five-on-three shorthanded penalty situation. But the damage was already done, as the brawl led nine Hoosiers and several Boilermakers to suspension for Saturday's contest, with a few more suspended into next week.

OSU in Columbus tough combo

By Natalie A. Trout · Tuesday, Jan. 20,2004 12:12 a.m.

Senior guard A.J. Moye said he can hardly remember the last time Indiana beat Ohio State in Columbus. "I think I've won there once, and that was my freshman year and we had Kirk Haston hitting shots out the wazoots," Moye said. "It's tough playing there." IU (8-6, 2-1 Big Ten) will face Ohio State (9-7, 1-2) at 7 p.m. tonight at the Value City Arena at Jerome Schottenstein Center in Columbus, an arena that holding 19,200 fans. "The fans get into it regardless of their record," Moye said. "But we showed good on the road the last time. We need to have a carry-over and I think we will."

Gettin' on the defensive

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Tuesday, Jan. 20,2004 12:11 a.m.

Behind a strong defensive effort and hot shooting in the second half, the Hoosiers expanded their one-point halftime lead into an 11-point win Saturday over the Northwestern Wildcats, 73-62, in front of 15,140 at Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers (8-6, 2-1 Big Ten) had six days to prepare for a Northwestern team that knocked them off the last time the teams met. The Wildcats (7-8, 2-2) shot 50 percent in the game but were held to 39.7 percent Saturday.

By Alyson Brodsy and Barry Wilner · Tuesday, Jan. 20,2004 12:09 a.m.

PHILADELPHIA -- The Carolina Panthers made sure their stunning run to the Super Bowl wasn't stopped by a Philadelphia team flopping at the final hurdle. While the Panthers are headed to their first Super Bowl after a dominating 14-3 victory in the NFC championship game Sunday night, the Eagles fell one win short of the big game for the third straight year.

Super Bowl dreams fade for Manning

By Alyson Brodsy and Michael Marot · Tuesday, Jan. 20,2004 12:08 a.m.

FOXBORO, Mass. -- Peyton Manning anticipated a perfect ending to his best season. The New England Patriots rewrote the script. In the biggest game of his career, Manning turned in his worst performance of the season -- throwing four interceptions and getting sacked four times as the Patriots' smothering defense sent him home with a 24-14 loss in the AFC championship game Sunday. "Every time you throw interceptions, that's the quarterback," Manning said. "I made some bad throws and some bad decisions."

Hoosiers host Big Ten leader

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Friday, Jan. 16,2004 1:17 a.m.

In recent years, a match-up with Northwestern would mean a win for IU. The Hoosiers (7-6, 2-1 Big Ten) hold the all-time series mark 101-41 and have won nine of the last 10. But that loss came in the teams' last meeting, and the Wildcats (7-7, 2-1) are off to a fast start in the Big Ten, winning at Iowa and beating No. 25 Illinois, Wednesday. The Hoosiers look to defend their home court 2 p.m. Saturday in their Big Ten home opener and knock off the up-start Wildcats.

Colts head to New England for AFC title game

By Alyson Brodsy and Michael Marot · Friday, Jan. 16,2004 1:12 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts fullback Tom Lopienski waited all season to touch the football and tight end Joe Dean Davenport went seven games without having a pass thrown his direction. Both delivered when given the chance. With players like Lopienski and Davenport, Brandon Stokley and Reggie Wayne now on Peyton Manning's radar, opponents look almost defenseless against an Indianapolis offense that finds new contributors every week.

Lady runners take on Michigan

By Steve Slivka · Friday, Jan. 16,2004 12:18 a.m.

The IU women's track and field team begins the 2004 season with high expectations this weekend as the Hoosiers take on Michigan. After losing 13 runners to graduation, the Hoosier's season began to look slow, but the appointment of Randy Heisler as the director of track and field in August and Heisler's signing of three in-state sprinters in December have brought the program back up to speed.

Home never seemed so good for IU

By Ryan Cost and Ryan J. Cost · Friday, Jan. 16,2004 12:16 a.m.

The women's basketball team gets the privilege of returning home this weekend for a match-up with Northwestern on Sunday. Assembly Hall has been a stranger to the Hoosiers in recent weeks. IU has played just one home game since Dec. 22, a 60-39 rout of Wisconsin on Jan. 8. In that same frame, the Hoosiers have trekked to four different schools, including last night's contest at Iowa. Needless to say, the team is eager to return.

Title game to be a battle of giants

By Alyson Brodsy and Dave Goldberg · Friday, Jan. 16,2004 12:12 a.m.

FOXBORO, Mass. -- Here's how the Colts and Patriots stack up for Sunday's AFC Championship game. WHEN THE COLTS HAVE THE BALL This is the matchup likely to decide the game. Peyton Manning (18), the NFL's co-MVP this season, has been near-perfect in playoff wins over Denver and Kansas City, posting a 156.9 passer rating. He has eight touchdown passes with no interceptions and has spread the ball around to Reggie Wayne (87) and Brandon Stokley (83), as well as to his favorite target, Marvin Harrison (88). Edgerrin James (32) has averaged 101.5 yards on the ground as Indianapolis has scored 79 points. But the Colts haven't faced a defense like New England's, which allowed just one touchdown in its final six home games. The Patriots often have most of their front seven stand near the line of scrimmage to disguise the defense.

In-state rival visits IU

By Jeff Fuldauer · Friday, Jan. 16,2004 12:10 a.m.

After a grueling road trip against the Division I Arizona Icecats, the IU Hockey team returns to the ice this weekend with two games against in-state and conference rival Purdue. Despite losing one game and tying another, the Hoosiers outplayed Arizona in front of more than 3,000 fans, who were treated to a closer contest than most expected. Offensive play from freshman forward Richard Young and sophomore forward Reed Schafer put the pressure on the Icecats, while freshman goalie Sam Veith tallied an impressive 33 and 38 saves in Friday and Saturday's games, respectively.

Superstition helps Kline perform

By Natalie A. Trout · Thursday, Jan. 15,2004 1:01 a.m.

There's one ritual sophomore forward Sean Kline does before every game. He puts on his socks. But not just any socks. Kline wears the same pair, every game. "If you have a good game in a pair of socks, that's supposed to be good luck," Kline said. "So I stay with the same socks." The 6 foot 8 inch Huntington, Ind. native was redshirted his freshman year at IU and is now in his second season of playing. Kline's superstitious socks may have helped him average 8.1 points a game and start in IU's first 12 games this season. The team is currently 7-6 overall and 1-1 in Big Ten play.
