Calm before the storm

By Matt Mattucci · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

Eighteen-year-old Eric Gordon stands to the side of the court at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Ky. His face drips with sweat, yet he’s completely relaxed. A barrage of young fans, armed with posters, photos and Sharpies, frantically pushes its way toward the teenager. He’s the calm before the storm. Eric just got done playing in the McDonald’s All American Game, a nationally televised showcase of the most talented high school senior basketball players in the country.

IU not overlooking last-place Spartans

By Jordan Cohen · Friday, March 30,2007 12 a.m.

The IU men’s tennis team won 15 of its 16 matches against Michigan State before coach Ken Hydinger’s arrival in Bloomington. Since then, the Hoosiers have continued their dominance of the Spartans, going 22-4 in Hydinger’s 21 seasons. While No. 71 IU (11-7, 1-2) might be better than Michigan State (9-11, 0-4) on paper, that means nothing to the Hoosiers.

Now it’s Big Ten play. In their first conference games of the season, the Hoosiers host the Michigan State Spartans in a four-game series this weekend and will look to extend the longest winning streak in Smith’s time IU.

No room for little men in this year’s Final Four matchups

By Aaron Beard and Nancy Armour · Friday, March 30,2007 12 a.m.

ATLANTA – There won’t be any warm and fuzzy scenes like when Jim Valvano sprinted across the court looking for somebody to hug. You won’t see any blubbering meltdowns a la Rollie Massimino, either. And the next George Mason? That dream got squashed two weeks ago. Nope, this year’s Final Four is all about the power conferences. There might as well be a sign: “No Underdogs Allowed.”

Mom always said never play ball in the house. The same, one would expect, goes for the javelin. Well, someone can tell Mom the indoor season for track and field is over, as this weekend’s Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif., marks the beginning of outdoor meets.

Kappa Alpha Theta cyclists eager to build on strong performances during Saturday’s series event

By Michael Sanserino · Friday, March 30,2007 12 a.m.

For junior Ali McCormick and her Kappa Alpha Theta teammates, being the best isn’t a goal. It’s their only option. But the women who call Woodlawn home haven’t crossed the finish line first at the Little 500 since 2003. It’s the longest streak for the four-time champs since 1999, when the women failed to win in their fourth consecutive race.

By Whitney Mitchell · Friday, March 30,2007 12 a.m.

The IU women’s rowing team will head to Cincinnati this weekend to compete against Cincinnati, Dayton and Eastern Michigan in what the Hoosiers hope is a promising race. “Without sounding too overconfident going into this race, we are the favorites to win,” coach Steve Peterson said. “We’ve won this race the past few years, and I would expect this year to be no different.”

IU’s All-American

By Matt Mattucci · Thursday, March 29,2007 12 a.m.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – IU recruit Eric Gordon, considered by many to be the top high school basketball player in the country, entered Wednesday night’s McDonald’s All-American game with high expectations from fans and media alike. After all, the Indianapolis native led his North Central squad to the state championship game just a week ago and he is a frontrunner for the Mr. Basketball award in Indiana. It was only fitting, then, that Gordon stood toe-to-toe with O.J. Mayo – also considered by some to be the country’s best recruit – and performed in front of legendary college basketball coach and Indiana native John Wooden.
