By Natalie A. Trout · Friday, Dec. 13,2002 12:32 a.m.

Jump shot legend a Hoosier

By Josh Weinfus and Josh Weinfuss · Friday, Dec. 13,2002 12:31 a.m.

One of the most basic functions in the game of basketball is the jump shot. Without this weapon, the game would still be grounded in its original roots of underhanded shots, which date back to the sport's beginnings in 1891 with Dr. James Naismith.

Saturday, Dec. 7, the women's basketball team knocked the Georgetown Hoyas down from an undefeated 5-0. Four days later, they put a stop to the 15 game home winning streak of the women's team at North Texas. It only seems right that their next victory should come against Purdue.

IU, Purdue set for 'Duel in the Dome'

By Matt Pera · Friday, Dec. 13,2002 12:26 a.m.

An IU-Purdue basketball game has always meant a battle for bragging rights. The level of play has always been intense and, on occasion, a player or two has lost his cool. Whether the game is at Assembly Hall or Mackey Arena, the fans are always rabid and the stadium is always packed.

By Aaron Beard · Wednesday, Dec. 11,2002 10:28 a.m.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida quarterback Rex Grossman is still deciding whether to leave college for the NFL or stay with the Gators for his senior season. "I actually haven't made up my mind yet," he said Tuesday. Grossman, a junior who was Indiana's 1998 high school Mr. Football at Bloomington South, also said he probably won't submit his name to the NFL Draft Advisory Board, which informs players where they will likely be drafted. Grossman said he has information from last year that he can rely on.

Future ticket fiascoes can be prevented

By Alex Hickey · Tuesday, Dec. 10,2002 10:35 p.m.

I'll never forget my first game at Assembly Hall. Defending National Champion Michigan State came into the Hall sporting a 23 game winning streak that seemed poised to continue with only seconds remaining to play. And then, just before the horn sounded, Kirk Haston drove a three-point dagger into the Spartans' hearts and sent the place into delirium.

College sports make me lethargic

By -Val Tsoutsouris and Val Tsoutouris · Sunday, Dec. 8,2002 10:39 p.m.

Have college sports come to this? When Dartmouth announced it was going to discontinue its swimming and diving teams due to budgetary reasons, a swimmer's boyfriend came up with quite the creative solution: He put the team up for sale on eBay. The eBay people found out about this and quashed it since the boyfriend was not the rightful owner to begin with. Too bad. What is an Ivy League degree worth today anyway if you can't swim?
