Salukis fans help take down Hoosiers

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

It was over before it started. That's what Mike Davis said after the Hoosiers were trampled by Southern Illinois, 72-60, in front of a sellout crowd of 10,000 at a frenzied and chaotic SIU Arena. The win against IU (No. 24 ESPN/USA Today poll) was the first against a ranked team for the Salukis in more than 13 years. Davis said he knew it was coming. "I know my team. Just the look in their eyes," Davis said. "Even though we were up 4-0, you could just tell the momentum was (Salukis') way from the introductions." The crowd was noisy throughout, rattling the Hoosiers (4-2) and taking them out of their offense. The game was a pattern of runs by each team, only the Salukis had more.

Purdue's Keady still scowling over slow start

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Gene Keady wasn't happy, and he wasn't shy about telling everyone about it. His scowl was worse. His Purdue squad wasn't playing up to his standards and was off to an 0-2 start in Big Ten play. But Wednesday's 84-75 upset of No. 9 Illinois in West Lafayette kept the Boilermakers from their first 0-3 league start in 38 years and might have cheered up Keady.

Alou shows few signs of rust in eighth exhibition game

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

MESA, Ariz. -- Now this is what Moises Alou had in mind for spring training. Sidelined for much of the spring with a strained muscle on his left side, Alou played for the first time in more than a week Tuesday. It was only his eighth exhibition game.

DiNardo faces challenges with new recruit class

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

Football coach Gerry DiNardo recruited some big names at LSU. Quarterback Rohan Davey, wide receiver Josh Reed and linebacker Trev Faulk were talented football players who helped LSU claim Sugar Bowl and SEC championship game victories this past season. Every member of the trio should be dressing Sundays next fall, and they all signed their letters-of-intent during DiNardo's tenure.

Senior quarterback receives fitting finale in last home game

By Sara Meinecke and Sarah Meinecke · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Senior quarterback Antwaan Randle El sat in the press conference after the game with his uniform pants on, black eye paint under his eyes and a big smile on his face. Twenty-five minutes prior to his entrance into the press room, college football's most exciting player and an inevitable College Football Hall of Fame candidate was taking the final snap of his IU career amid chants of "Antwaan" coming from the crowd.

'Playful' fan favorite likes attention

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

If you don't like A.J. Moye, you're among the minority. IU fans chant his name. Everywhere. All the time. When he's on the bench. When he -- in what has become his signature -- cringes his face, bounces up and down and flails his arms in response to a positive swing of Hoosier momentum. Even during campus post-game parties when he's 180 miles away in Lexington, Ky.

The drive to win

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

ATLANTA -- Dane Fife writes this story every week. The senior's defense shuts down an opponent's top scorer, frustrates him and then the opponent smiles about it afterward. Saturday was no different. Just ask Oklahoma leading scorer Hollis Price. "Fife did a great job," Price said. "He was so physical. I usually get around that. But tonight, I just didn't overcome it. He did a great job." Price finished 1 of 11 from the field and scored a season-low six points. He missed six of his seven three-pointers after shooting 39 percent from there this season, committed two turnovers and was never a factor in IU's 73-64 national semifinal victory in the Georgia Dome.

Jeffries chose Hoosiers over Devils

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Mike Krzyzweski figured he didn't have much of a shot at convincing Jared Jeffries to play basketball at Duke. After all, Jeffries grew up and played high school basketball within a stone's throw of Assembly Hall and the IU campus.

Friends first, teammates second

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

For some college athletes, friendships between them and a teammate develop during their time training, practicing and travelling together. For two members of the IU women's tennis team, their friendship was created long before the two became Hoosiers.

Team forges fifth-place finish

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

The dominating seasons of Minnesota and Michigan and surging performances from Penn State and Northwestern have the Hoosiers sitting in fifth place after the first day of the men's swimming and diving Big Ten Championships. The Gophers lead the way with 197 points, followed by Michigan (167), Penn State (157), Northwestern (134) and IU (122).

Defense falters again

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

Familiarity is comforting, except when it's losing. And that's just what the Hoosiers did Saturday in Iowa City against the Hawkeyes. They lost 42-28, in an all too familiar fashion. A dominant offense, an invisible defense. The tone of the game was set a mere 1:45 seconds into the game when Iowa scored on a 75-yard touchdown run. The entire drive consisted of three plays, and from then out the Iowa offense scored on all but one possession in the first half.

By Katie Schoenbaechler · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The defending champions of the Michigan Classic dominated January 26 and 27; ending the weekend with a 12-0 record. The team went on to receive the No. 3 national ranking from the National Intramural Recreational Sports Association this week.

Legend enjoying role as coach

By Michael Nalborczyk · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Taking on defenders with relentless courage, there wasn't a more determined and hard-working running back than Anthony Thompson. Thompson's IU career was essentially four yards and a cloud of trust. Not flashy, he was just a back that was always dependable, always reliable and would constantly encourage his line to keep it up after a good gain. The same traits that made him a two-time All-American is causing Thompson to emerge as a young coach on the rise in the college ranks.

Hoosiers look for strong run in championship

By Alex Hickey · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

This is it -- the 82nd annual Big Ten Men's Golf Championship has arrived. For the Hoosiers, it represents the end of a season-long quest to forget last season's dismal 11th place finish in the Big Ten. And if enough rolls their way, it could also represent IU's first Big Ten title and NCAA Tournament appearance since 1998.

Team takes 3 of 4 from Illini, improves to 20-4

By Beau Wicker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Senior shortstop Eric Blakely hit a dramatic three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh to lift the IU men's baseball team over Illinois 5-3 in the finale of the series yesterday at Sembower Field. The Hoosiers were down 3-2 with one out in the bottom of the seventh when freshman second baseman Jay Brant was hit by a pitch.

When you think it can't get any worse...

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

I'd love to write about Antwaan Randle El making a triumphant return to quarterback. I'd love to chronicle the resurgence of a once- (and still-) diaper-soft defense. I'd love to tell the story of the IU boy coming home to coach his alma mater to bowl game after bowl game. But it isn't so. Instead, I'm stuck with losses to teams like Utah. I'm used to it. This week, I realized that since I began covering college football, the teams I cover haven't won a single game. Nope, lost every single time out. Zero wins. Thirteen loses. I covered Ball State football in 1999 during the Cardinals' 21-game losing skid. Then, I transferred to IU -- evidently bringing the curse with me.
