Women's team falls in Big Dance

By Sarah Trotto · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

DURHAM, N.C. - The IU women's basketball team's gig as post-season Cinderella ended last night. A feisty horned frog wouldn't transform into a prince, preventing any further fairy tales for IU. The ninth-seeded Hoosiers (17-14) applied tight defense against eight-seeded Texas Christian (24-6) in IU's first NCAA tournament game since 1995. But the Hoosiers' offense didn't hold up its end of the bargain, shooting 23.5 percent from the field en route to a 55-45 first-round loss at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Lady Frogs face Duke, who defeated Norfolk State last night, in the second round Sunday.

Cleveland Rocks!

By Alyson Brodsy and Ryan Gunterman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Drew Carey couldn't have said it better in the opening song to his television show -- Cleveland Rocks! As a die-hard Cubs fans, there will never be another stadium that can match up with the beauty and pure awesomeness of Wrigley Field -- but Jacobs Field, the home of the Cleveland Indians, sure isn't that far off. Ever since it was built in 1994, the Jake has been pulling in crowds of over 40,000 on a daily basis.

Sooners' intensity will show Saturday

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

ATLANTA, Ga. -- Against No. 1 Duke, the Hoosiers relied on Jared Jeffries and Jarrad Odle in the paint to bring them back from 17 points to win, 74-73. Against Kent State in the South Regional final last Saturday, IU hit its first eight three-pointers to build a lead it would never relinquish. In Saturday night's first national semifinal against Oklahoma, the Hoosiers will see a defense that is better than both the Blue Devils' and the Golden Flashes.

Tattoos show toughness

By Tyler Hoeppner · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

People at IU have tattoos. What makes the wrestling team unique is the fact that in this small group, almost everyone has a tattoo. Wrestlers are seen as tough individuals, which might explain why tattoos are so prevalent on the team. Senior Brian Smiley said tattoos add to the toughness of a wrestler. "We all think that we are the toughest guys," Smiley said. "We think that we have to show it."

A balancing act

By Guy Cipriano · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Phi Delta Theta senior Brian Drummy never rode in a Little 500 before Saturday's race. Even after his team's victory, Drummy said he still felt like he hadn't experienced the physical hardship of riding in the grueling 200-lap event. "I don't have a word to describe it," Drummy said. "It's everything you work for, and when it comes through, it doesn't even feel real. I don't even feel like I rode in the race today."

By Gavin Lesnick · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Bobby Knight is a figure who seems to be constantly surrounded by controversy. So it comes as no surprise that the debut of the ESPN film "A Season on the Brink" about Knight's 1985-86 season at IU was met with a wide range of opinions and criticisms from the student body.

Runner excels in classroom

By Alyson Brodsy and Tyler Hoeppner · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Many college students have a hard time managing their time. Many try to find the balance between studies and free time. Freshman Mindy Peterson is no exception. However, she has honors classes and a cross country schedule to deal with. And she has done both of these things very well. Peterson is one of the top runners for IU's cross country team. She has placed no worse than third for the team in all six of the races she has run in this season. With practices and classes, finding the time to do the things she wants isn't always easy. Practices range from sprint drills to long runs to lifting weights. Weekends don't even offer time off.

Seniors accept role, responsibility

By Ryan Gunterman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Senioritis occurs when someone is close to graduating, and sometimes, they fail to turn in their work and lose motivation. Batting more than .330 with eight home runs and 68 RBIs combined, seniors Dan Haegele and Blake St. Clair don't have the time to worry about catching the mental laziness that plagues seniors around this time of the year. They'll be busy playing the top-ranked team in the Big Ten during graduation ceremonies Saturday.

Hoosiers shut down Spartans early

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Leading up to last night's game, Coach Mike Davis praised Tom Izzo as the best coach in the country, mainly because of the way Izzo can get his No.25 Spartans to be more aggressive than anybody on the boards and defensively. But by the time there were a few minutes left in the game Tuesday night, Izzo could only run his hands through his hair, lean back in his chair and look up to the top of Assembly Hall. Another Michigan State turnover had led to another three-pointer, this one by Dane Fife to give the Hoosiers an 81-58 lead with just 2:33 left.
