IU rebounds to road win

·

ANN ARBOR, Mich.-- IU sophomore guard Marshall Strickland said it's anybody's ballgame when you're talking about Big Ten basketball. While history shows that it's difficult to play on the road in the Big Ten, Sunday's game in Ann Arbor was clearly one for the Hoosiers. After a 34-point loss on the road to Wisconsin, IU bounced back from the loss and defeated the Michigan Wolverines, 59-57. IU made 42.9 percent of its field goals and made five of its six free throw attemps. "Anytime you get a road win in the Big Ten, it's like getting two wins," IU coach Mike Davis said.

Hoosiers drop 3 of 5 over break

·

IU coach Mike Davis has said all along that he wanted his team to be 7-4 as the Hoosiers headed into conference play. The Hoosiers entered the semester break at 4-3, and with three of four at home, seemed on their way to that goal. But IU couldn't get it done, and Tuesday's loss to Wisconsin in their Big Ten opener dropped the Hoosiers to 6-6 on the season.

Gibbs to coach in D.C. again

·

ASHBURN, Va. -- After a decade of high-profile Washington Redskins failures, only one name could restore credibility in an instant: Joe Gibbs. And they got him. The Hall of Fame coach is coming back after an 11-year absence, a stunning development and a much-needed lift for a franchise that has been to the playoffs only once since he left after the 1992 season.

Old teammates, foes meet again

·

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Defensive ends Mike Rucker and Grant Wistrom first met as high school sophomores playing against each other in Missouri. Rucker claims he used a hard hit to tackle Wistrom, then a tight end, for a loss. The two were later teammates at Nebraska, and will cross paths once again Saturday when Rucker and the Carolina Panthers play Wistrom and the St. Louis Rams in the divisional playoffs.

Hoosiers look to avoid early hole in Big Ten play

·

During the last two years, the Hoosiers have struggled on opponents' home courts, going 5-12 during that stretch. They have only one Big Ten win, coming against Iowa Feb. 19 of last year. The Hoosiers will have to reverse that trend against Michigan Sunday if they hope to avoid doing something they haven't done since the 1997-98 season: start the Big Ten 0-2.

Believe in Blue

·

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts expect cold and noise for their next game at Kansas City. They're confident they'll overcome both -- as well as the Chiefs. "Hopefully once we get in the stadium, we'll warm up and be fine," linebacker Marcus Washington said Wednesday. "We've been great on the road all year, so I think we'll be okay." Kansas City (13-3) has won 13 straight at Arrowhead Stadium, and teams that play home games in domes are just 11-32 when they venture into the frigid outdoors, come playoff time. Nevertheless, the Colts (13-4) have beaten the Chiefs in six straight games, four of those in Kansas City, and lead their overall series 8-6. Only one team with a dome, St. Louis in 1999, has won a Super Bowl.

Defense allows IU to hold on for win

·

Last weekend, IU lost a 14-point lead with seven minutes left, due in part to Missouri's tough defense down the stretch. Saturday it was IU's defense that helped the Hoosiers pull out a 62-50 win against Butler at Assembly Hall.

Hail to the Champions!

Neither rain nor sleet nor snow nor jet lag could stop the 2003 IU men's soccer team. No one could stop the players on the field either -- the Hoosiers are National Champions, finishing an improbable run with a 2-1 victory over the St. John's Red Storm.

THANK YOU COACH YEAGLEY

·

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- It was Sept. 18, and IU had just lost a heartbreaker to Notre Dame in double overtime, 1-0. The players were dejected, and IU coach Jerry Yeagley said it was a game the Hoosiers should have won. That was IU's last loss of the season. In less then three months, Yeagley crafted a young team into an experienced team destined to send Yeagley out as a champion.
