Fans, team-game help defeat Purdue

By Natalie A. Trout · Wednesday, Jan. 28,2004 12:58 a.m.

Senior guard A.J. Moye strutted off the court and held out his jersey so all the fans could see the INDIANA embroidered on it. The Hoosiers now hold sole possession of first place in the Big Ten. IU (11-6, 5-1 Big Ten) upset No. 21 Purdue (14-5, 4-2) in what was clearly a team effort with eight different Hoosiers contributing points to the 63-58 win. "When we take the court, we don't feel like we can lose," Moye said. Earlier this week, Purdue coach Gene Keady said sophomore guard Bracey Wright would be the player his team would have to contain. But little did the Purdue team know there would be so many others who would impact the IU win. Wright, this week's Big Ten co-Player of the Week, entered the game averaging 16.8 points per game, but only had three points in the first half and finished with a total of 10.

All alone on top of Big Ten

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Wednesday, Jan. 28,2004 12:56 a.m.

Roderick Wilmont had just messed up, and he knew it. He had just hit a three-pointer to put the Hoosiers up four points with less than a minute to play, but the freshman guard left Purdue guard David Teague wide open in the corner for a three to allow the Boilermakers to get back within one.

Classic Rivalry, Higher Stakes

By Natalie A. Trout · Tuesday, Jan. 27,2004 12:45 a.m.

As if the rivalry wasn't big enough between IU (10-6, 4-1 Big Ten) and Purdue (14-1, 4-1). Now the two teams will battle for the top of the Big Ten at 7 p.m. tonight in Assembly Hall. The last time the rivals played for first place in the Big Ten was in 1989 when the Hoosiers won 74-73. But the most recent match-up between the two was in West Lafayette, and IU took quite a beating and lost the game 69-47. Senior forward A.J. Moye remembers it clearly. "They whooped us last year," Moye said. "I've still got that taste in my mouth. I really want a win."

By Steve Slivka · Monday, Jan. 26,2004 10:49 p.m.

To compete as an athlete in today's sports world, athletes need to take advantage of the summer months. For junior sprinter Charlene Maddox, this theme held true this past summer. During the indoor track and field season, Maddox competes in the 200 and 400-meter runs. However, last indoor season, Maddox fought injuries which kept her from competing on a regular basis.

Road Warriors

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Monday, Jan. 26,2004 12:50 a.m.

MINNEAPOLIS -- For most of Saturday's first half against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, the Hoosiers looked unstoppable. But then Minnesota coach Dan Monson inserted a zone press and defense that shook up the Hoosier offense, and the Gophers were able to close the half on a 10-0 run to cut the IU lead to eight. Minnesota (8-9, 0-5 Big Ten) continued the zone and the press in the second half as the Gophers battled back to take a four-point lead late in the game. "It really screwed us up at the end of the first half," sophomore forward Sean Kline said. "They got some turnovers off of it. It's a tough zone, and they're really big, lanky and quick. But I thought in the second half we did a great job of limiting our turnovers and looking to the middle and the gaps to make plays." Monson took off the press with the Gophers leading by four with less than four minutes to play. IU coach Mike Davis said removing the press was a good idea by Monson.

IU looks to stay on top

By Natalie A. Trout · Friday, Jan. 23,2004 1:07 a.m.

For a brief 24 hours, the IU men's basketball team was the sole leader of the Big Ten with a 3-1 conference record. But after Wednesday night's games, Michigan State, Wisconsin and Purdue jumped into the number one spot with IU (9-6 overall). At the bottom of the Big Ten standings lies a lonely Minnesota team, 0-4 in the Big Ten and 8-8 on the season. It's a Minnesota team that's struggled at home and away, and it's a Minnesota team that sophomore guard Marshall Strickland says IU will not take lightly. "They really need this win, and they are going to come out really hard," Strickland said. "So we're going to go in there and battle them." Strickland averaged 16 points a game in the last three IU games, hitting .500 (15-of-30) from the floor and .588 (10-of-17) from beyond the arc. He has also been perfect in his last ten free throw attempts.

By Alyson Brodsy and Steve Herman · Friday, Jan. 23,2004 12:45 a.m.

Since his return to the starting lineup, the Indiana Pacers have won 11 of 12 games, increased their scoring almost five points a game and solidified their position atop the NBA's Eastern Conference. "From the get-go, I was ready to come back and start, but it didn't happen like I thought it would happen," Tinsley said after practice Thursday.

But their toughest test to date is sure to focus the Hoosiers, as they play host to No. 10 Tennessee Saturday at the IU Tennis Center.
