By Pete Newmann and Peter Newmann · Tuesday, Jan. 23,2001 12:32 a.m.

By David Uchiyama · Monday, Jan. 22,2001 12:39 a.m.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The disappearance of a 13-point lead against Minnesota wasn't a huge mystery after IU's 78-74 loss to the Gophers. The only question is who's to blame. Interim head coach Mike Davis said fingers should be pointed his way. "We did a great job except for the last three minutes of the game, when we fell apart, and I'll take full responsibility for that," Davis said. Freshman guard A.J. Moye said the blame lies on the players.

Club team searching for attention

By Ira Klapper · Monday, Jan. 22,2001 12:33 a.m.

Although many are familiar with IU's women's volleyball team, some might not be aware there is a men's team. The team is a B-level club sport, which means it receives minimal monetary support from the University, does not compete at the Division-I varsity level and does most of the financing on its own. The uniforms are provided by IU. "Nobody thinks that there is a men's team here, but this is it," team president and sophomore Jeremy Levy said.

Hockey splits with Miami

By Brett Wallace · Monday, Jan. 22,2001 12:29 a.m.

Many Hoosier hockey enthusiasts thought they would have a clearer picture of the Midwest Collegiate Hockey League standings after the weekend's two-game series between Miami of Ohio and IU. But the only thing anyone could really determine from the weekend is that the two teams are bitter rivals, well-matched and anxious for a third game. After skating past Miami without much difficulty Friday, the Hoosiers found themselves in an all-out war Saturday, which ended with four players suspended and a last-minute Miami lead and victory.

Texans hire Capers as coach

By Michael A. Lutz · Monday, Jan. 22,2001 12:26 a.m.

HOUSTON -- It's not easy to get the kind of experience that Dom Capers has on his resume: successfully building an NFL franchise from the ground up. That was a big reason the expansion Houston Texans made him their first head coach. Capers, who took the Carolina Panthers from nothing to the playoffs in two years, officially signed a six-year contract with the Texans on Sunday. "We've visited with a number of qualified coaches that we think the world of and any one of those coaches could have coached this team and done a wonderful job," owner Bob McNair said.

By Sarah Trotto · Monday, Jan. 22,2001 12:23 a.m.

The sprinters on the women's track and field team focused on Ohio State All-American Donica Merriman prior to the Hoosiers' dual meet against the Buckeyes Saturday at Harry Gladstein Fieldhouse. Merriman showed up for the meet in street clothes and didn't run. But the Hoosiers didn't need to feel pressure from the sprinter and hurdler to meet five NCAA provisional qualifying marks in four events and win eight of 15 events to capture the meet 89-70.

Bennett's return draws crowd

By Aaron Sharockman · Monday, Jan. 22,2001 12:22 a.m.

MADISON, Wisc. -- Women's basketball packed the front pages of Wisconsin newspapers. The coverage shocked Wisconsin coach Jane Albright. Nine thousand fans flurried to the Kohl Center, a large crowd even for basketball-friendly Wisconsin. But the papers weren't covering the Wisconsin-IU women's basketball game. And a lot of the fans weren't there to see junior center Jill Chapman duel with UW sophomore center Nina Smith.

Big Badgers bury Hoosiers

By Aaron Sharockman · Monday, Jan. 22,2001 12:20 a.m.

MADISON, Wisc. -- Kathi Bennett walked to both of the edges of her bench, looking for an answer. She didn't find it. With the IU post game shredded by fouls, Wisconsin exploited the weakness consistently and purposely in a 69-62 Badger win Sunday in front of 9,100 fans at the Kohl Center. "Wisconsin really out-foxed us and played very well," Bennett said. "Their post players were dynamite and really hurt us."

Gophers dig up victory

MINNEAPOLIS -- The game appeared to be well in hand. IU held a 13-point lead with less than three minutes to go, and Minnesota wasn't threatening. But looks can be deceiving. Minnesota implemented a full-court press, and within those three minutes, the Golden Gophers tied the game and sent it to overtime, where they prevailed 78-74 Saturday in Williams Arena.

Hoosiers set sights on Golden Gophers

By David Uchiyama · Sunday, Jan. 21,2001 3:13 p.m.
