IU finishes out 2006 with 19 straight losses

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, Nov. 26,2006 11:37 p.m.

The IU women's volleyball team will end its losing streak this season at 19 games. It won't end because of a Hoosier victory though. It will end because there are no more games to play. The Hoosiers lost their last two games at home this weekend after being swept by No. 11 Wisconsin on Friday and No. 10 Minnesota on Saturday. The losses ended the Hoosiers' season and put the team in last place in the Big Ten at 1-19 with an overall record of 10-22. The wins helped boost both Wisconsin and Minnesota in their pushes for an NCAA Tournament bid.

By Alyson Brodsy · Sunday, Nov. 26,2006 11:35 p.m.

TORONTO -- Andrea Bargnani is starting to show why the Toronto Raptors took a chance on the soft-shooting Italian forward with the top pick in the draft. Chris Bosh had 17 points and 11 rebounds and four other Raptors reached double figures in scoring, and Toronto held on for a 92-83 victory against the slow-starting Indiana Pacers on Sunday. Bargnani had 14 points for the Raptors, who never trailed. Toronto outscored Indiana 32-17 in the first quarter and began the second quarter on a 14-2 run, including eight points from Bargnani.

Boiling Point

By Tim O Brien and Tim O'Brien · Tuesday, Nov. 21,2006 4:11 p.m.

WEST LAFAYETTE -- IU senior safety Will Meyers ran off the field Saturday at Ross-Ade Stadium as Purdue fans and players celebrated all around him and his Hoosier teammates. Playing in his last collegiate game, Meyers felt the emotions run through him -- disappointment, disbelief and anger. But most of all, he felt aggravation. "The tears hadn't really started yet. It was more frustration," Meyers said. "I just wanted to get off (the field) before anything worse happened." Meyers is one of 21 seniors who played their last game as Hoosiers on Saturday, a 28-19 loss against Purdue in West Lafayette.

By Michael Sanserino · Monday, Nov. 20,2006 12:44 a.m.

It didn't rain Saturday night when Santa Clara University eliminated IU from the NCAA Tournament, but the sod on Jerry Yeagley Field was soggy nonetheless. After Bronco forward Jeff Cosgriff sent his game-winning penalty kick into the net, tears streamed down the faces of several Hoosiers and hit the yellow-tinged grass.

Colts dealt 1st loss of season

By Jaime Aron · Monday, Nov. 20,2006 12:24 a.m.

IRVING, Texas -- The Indianapolis Colts are perfect no more. And as flawed as the Dallas Cowboys are, they're starting to look like contenders again. Tony Romo managed an efficient game in his first career start at home, Marion Barber III ran for two fourth-quarter touchdowns, and the Cowboys handed Peyton Manning and the Colts their first loss of the season 21-14 Sunday. A week after becoming the first team to start 9-0 in consecutive seasons, Indianapolis fell shy in its bid to match last year's 13-0 run, much less than the perfect season by the 1972 Miami Dolphins.

Freshman runner hopes to earn All-American accolades at meet

By Jackie Faine and Jacqueline Faine · Monday, Nov. 20,2006 12:19 a.m.

The bottom of the pile is now at the top of the pack. In his first-ever Great Lakes Regional Championships, freshman Jordan Kyle finished unscathed from a race that claimed the rest of his team. A career-best 10K time of 31:02.43 gave Kyle a coveted third-place finish to secure his slot at the NCAA Championships, scheduled for today in Terre Haute. "(IU) coach (Robert) Chapman has done an excellent job of peaking me for the end of the year, and I have never felt stronger than I do now," Kyle said. "Currently the weather is making for a very muddy race at nationals, which for me is a mental advantage. I tend to exceed my ability when the conditions are worse."

By John Wustrow · Monday, Nov. 20,2006 12:15 a.m.

If IU women's basketball coach Felisha Legette-Jack ever considers a career in politics, she already has one supporter. Following the Hoosiers 98-71 win over the University of Dayton on Sunday, Flyer coach Jim Jabir had nothing but good things to say about Legette-Jack.
