Welcome back

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

A little more than 12 hours after falling short in the NCAA championship game, a tired IU men's basketball team returned to Bloomington around 12:45 p.m. Tuesday and received a warm welcome from several hundred Hoosier fans. The IU faithful welcomed the team bus back from the airport and followed the Hoosiers inside Assembly Hall, where seniors Dane Fife and Jarrad Odle addressed the gathering of fans and media.

Threes reign in Hoosier victory

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

A box score would more than do justice to Saturday's battle between IU and Illinois. IU splattered the board with mind-boggling numbers: Like a school- and Big Ten-record 17 three-pointers. There were 46 first-half points and 42 more in the second half. There were five players in double figures. And there were three players with three or more three-pointers. But, in reality, all you need to sum up IU's 88-57 pounding of the No. 9 Illini in front of 17,456 wound-up fans in Assembly Hall is vocal evidence from the Illini themselves.

Many Hoosiers aid win

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

Only 13 points for Jared Jeffries is usually reason to panic. Just look at what happened at Minnesota when he managed only seven points and one made field goal. But while the Hawkeyes failed to produce a double-digit scorer Tuesday night, the Hoosiers had five players score 10 or more points, led by Kyle Hornsby's 15 points.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Tightening the final bolt and hanging the last banner, workers at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway are putting the finishing touches to Victory Circle in preparation for what has been called the "Greatest Spectacle in Racing." The Indianapolis 500, scheduled to start Sunday at 11 a.m., is boasting the fastest field of cars in the history of IMS this year -- the average qualifying speed is 228.648 m.p.h. -- and the race is expected to be even more exciting.

Mini 500 opens

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

Let the races begin. Mini 500 has officially kicked off the the "Greatest College Weekend" -- the Little 500. After 60 teams started the race, only three were left at the end of the night and were able to call themselves Mini 500 Champions. It boiled down to three teams in each division. Charlie's Angels, members of Evans Scholars, repeated as champions in the women's race. El Caminos won a close race and were the champions of the co-ed race. Delta Sigma Pi won the men's race.

Gone.

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

Cecilia Jeffries isn't afraid to admit it. Being the IU basketball fan she is, Jared Jeffries' mom had some part of her that wanted her son to stay Hoosier and lead IU on another NCAA tournament run. But now she knows that won't happen.

Rows 9, 10 full of surprises

By Stephanie Sims · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The excitement of the Little 500 race has arrived. The crowd will see the sweat glisten on the foreheads of riders who have trained for hours on end, every day, pushing themselves harder and harder. They'll sense the tension and nervousness among the riders, asking themselves if they have what it takes, after all those practices, to ride their best. They may even see some riders collide and be sent toppling over on the track, with others whizzing by, with a slight attitude change for either the better or the worse. Most of the teams in Rows 9 and 10 had different expectations for a qualifying time. But they still have time to surprise themselves, and the crowd on race day.

Hoosiers' NCAA hopes dashed

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

DURHAM, N.C. -- The women's basketball team's gig as post-season Cinderella ended Friday night. A feisty horned frog wouldn't transform into a prince, preventing any more fairy tales for IU. The ninth-seeded Hoosiers (17-14) forced tight defense on the No. 8 seed Texas Christian Horned Frogs (24-6) in IU's first NCAA tournament game since 1995.

Hoosiers earn redemption

Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

After an early exit in last year's Big Ten Tournament, the men's soccer team found redemption Sunday night, winning their ninth Big Ten Championship, in the league's 11-year existence. The Hoosiers (14-3-1) topped the No. 5 seed Michigan and No. 3 seed Michigan State to win the title. IU 1, Michigan 0 Thursday night, the No.4 seeded Wisconsin Badgers were upset by the No.5 Michigan Wolverines on their home field.

Fans keep the faith until the end

By Rachel Kipp · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

They believed until the end. Thousands of fans swarmed theaters, houses, bars and restaurants -- any room that had a television -- almost uniformly clad in red, white and "Indiana" emblems hoping for a Cinderella season with a fairy tale ending. A day and early evening full of girls dangling from car windows, high-spirited honking, long lines and hard partying gave way to a night when nobody remained outdoors. The parking lots stood open, class buildings stood empty and the only sounds were reflected cheers.

Offense can't take bite from Lions

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

Penn State guard Kelly Mazzante caught the ball on the perimeter and fired a three-pointer 23 seconds into the Nittany Lions' matchup with IU last night. That initial shot fell good, registering Mazzante's first three points of a 16-point half. The game went downhill from there -- for the Hoosiers. Too much Mazzante, too little effective defensive and too many missed late foul shots spelled a 67-59 loss for IU at Assembly Hall.

Draft decision not an easy one

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

Four years ago, Kirk Haston made one of the most difficult decisions of his life, jumping from small-town Tennessee to Big Ten country and Bloomington. After IU's first-round NCAA tournament loss to Kent State in March, Haston came face to face with another taxing decision -- stick around Bloomington to finish his collegiate eligibility or scamper to the NBA.
