Former understudy aims for future Izzo-like season

·

Today is Tom Crean’s 370th day on the job as IU men’s basketball coach, which isn’t all that long – unless you consider the tenures of his immediate predecessors. Speaking by phone Thursday, the first-year coach reflected on his first full season in Bloomington, one that was perhaps more important for what it wasn’t – full of controversy – than what it was.

In exile, Sampson looks to become NBA head coach

Given the fallout from Sampson's messy exit from IU, he has accepted the idea that his exile from college basketball probably is permanent. So as he winds up his first year as an assistant to Milwaukee Bucks coach Scott Skiles, Sampson has a new goal in mind: To become a head coach in the NBA.

Miss N’ Out to decide race’s top sprinters

·

Miss N’ Out, a contest in the Little 500 spring series, is set to take place Saturday at Bill Armstrong Stadium. It is a heat-based elimination event in which riders make their way around the track, with the last rider of each lap after the warm-up falling out of the race until a certain number of riders remain.

Predictable tournament might have unpredictable ending

·

Who’s the favorite to win this weekend’s Final Four? Well, you might have better luck throwing four eggs in a basket, drawing one and declaring that team the winner, because frankly, the 2009 edition of the NCAA men’s basketball championship is up for grabs.

Hoosiers blow out Cincinnati 16-4 in away game

·

After his team’s 3-2 win against Minnesota last Saturday, junior catcher Josh Phegley said his biggest concern was a lack of early scoring in games. His teammates responded against Cincinnati on Wednesday night, as the Hoosiers scored five runs in the first inning en route to a 16-4 victory. The win was IU’s third in a row and brings their season record to 10-15.


Future Hoosier forward shows versatility

Christian Watford looks like a basketball player. He’s 6-foot-8, weighs 215 pounds and some say he resembles a young Tracy McGrady. But looks alone didn’t net him a scholarship to play at IU, nor did they help the high school senior average 26 points, 15 rebounds and five assists per game this year for Shades Valley High School, located in a suburb of Birmingham, Ala.
