Titan Series point up for grabs

By Allison Murphy · Thursday, March 28,2002 11:29 p.m.

The IU women's tennis team returns home this weekend to resume conference play and compete for a Titan Series point against the Purdue Boilermakers. In the Titan Series, IU competes against Purdue to win as many of the 18 eligible points as possible to achieve the overall championship. Each sport is worth one point in the series. The school who wins the regular season head-to-head match will receive the point. If a tie should occur, the point is split between the two teams. IU leads the series 7-5.

The best of a tough situation

By Zack Eldridge · Thursday, March 28,2002 1:01 a.m.

Senior Rahman Smiley could have surrendered hope; instead, his unremitting injury and the team's struggles have only inspired him to make the best of a complicated situation. Maybe that is the lesson tennis has taught him. No matter how difficult a challenge, if you simply try to do your best, you might be presently surprised at the results.

By Alyson Brodsy and Susan Skiles Luke · Wednesday, March 27,2002 12:34 a.m.

CARBONDALE, Ill. -- When Southern Illinois University senior Martin Obst visited home, neighbors used to snicker about what his life was like at the "party school," famous for Halloween street riots rather than for strong academics. Not anymore.

Unlikely success story

By Pat Crowell · Wednesday, March 27,2002 12:30 a.m.

High school track and field in Indiana lacks a few of the events that are done on the college level. One of these events is the javelin. That is why it is odd to have a javelin thrower at IU who graduated from Bloomington North High School. Yet this Hoosier ranks among the conference's best even though he did not throw in high school. Junior Pat Miller is in his third season and hoping to have a great year after two surprising seasons.

After eight years, Hoosiers back to Sweet Sixteen

By Dan Cortez · Sunday, March 17,2002 6:55 p.m.

SACRAMENTO - Sophomore A.J. Moye was shouting. Senior Dane Fife was joking about how close his college career almost ended. And junior Kyle Hornsby was talking about how good it feels to be going where no IU team has been since 1994. The Hoosiers are going to play in the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament, and an excited locker room after a 76-67 win Saturday night against UNC-Wilmington couldn\'t contain its excitement. \"When the game was over me and (junior Tom Coverdale) went over to (IU coach Mike Davis) and had a great hug. It feels good,\" Moye said. \"Tears almost came to our eyes, but the win said it all. We\'re just happy to win. \"It\'s beautiful to be in the Sweet Sixteen.\" IU was a fifth seed in 1994 and after beating Ohio and Temple in the first two rounds, the Hoosiers lost to ninth-seeded Boston College in the Sweet Sixteen in Miami. Hornsby can\'t believe it has been that long.

Humble Wainwright, Seahawks enjoying big show

By Dan Cortez · Saturday, March 16,2002 11:37 p.m.

SACRAMENTO - Jerry Wainwright isn\'t afraid to admit it. His players are here to play basketball, but they are enjoying the glitz that comes with being one of the early darlings of the NCAA Tournament this year. That\'s probably because North Carolina-Wilmington is used to being in North Carolina\'s shoes- out of the Tournament before it starts. But after the upset of fourth-seeded USC Thursday night, Wainwright said his team is enjoying the attention, even if it\'s in the Seahawks\' own way. \"National spotlight, do I enjoy what\'s happening? In all honesty, we know what I do for a living is very temporary,\" Wainwright said. \"The only thing that matters is the people. We\'re old school. We represent a team. It\'s nice to see them be successful. This is great to see the kids enjoy it.\"

Davis gets praise for success

By Dan Cortez · Saturday, March 16,2002 11:31 p.m.

SACRAMENTO - IU coach Mike Davis saw the highlights from IU\'s win Thursday night on Sportscenter, brief as they might have been. And he also heard what the anchor had to say. \"She said that my critics can leave me alone now because I\'ve won a game in the NCAA (Tournament),\" Davis said, smiling. Several people are saying that same thing in Sacramento this weekend, and that might include some Hoosier fans who still might not believe Davis is the best man to coach IU. With two regular seasons gone and one first round tournament loss, Davis said he felt the pressure Thursday night, probably the same pressure he has felt everyday since he was given the job at an interim level in September 2000.

Coverdale leads Hoosiers to first round win

By Dan Cortez · Friday, March 15,2002 11:11 a.m.

SACRAMENTO - Junior Tom Coverdale remembers San Diego. He remembers what happened to him there. He remembers Kent State. And he remembers the final score and what happened to his team in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last year. Sporting their highest seed in eight years, the fourth-seeded Hoosiers lost to Kent State, 77-73, after holding an eight-point lead at halftime. Coverdale suffered a hip pointer at the end of the first half and was limited to 8 points, four assists and three turnovers in 29 minutes. This time around, Coverdale and IU jumped out a nice lead in the first half once again, this time a 42-27 lead on Utah. And Coverdale again went into the break with another injury, this time his left ankle. Naturally, IU coach Mike Davis was concerned.
