What a difference a few hundred miles make. The IU women’s tennis team spent last weekend in North Carolina, where the weather was comparatively balmy and everything happened according to schedule.

It was two very different days for the IU women’s water polo team at the Terrapin Invite in College Park, Md. On Saturday the Hoosiers scored victories against host Maryland and George Washington. On Sunday they dropped their two games against No. 13 Hartwick College and No. 17 Princeton.

The IU softball team begins its trek to what it hopes is a second-consecutive NCAA tournament bid when it kicks off the 2007 season at the Crowne Plaza Classic in Houston on Friday. The Hoosiers hope to build upon last year's historic campaign in which the Hoosiers earned their first appearance in the NCAA tournament in 10 years. Head coach Stacey Phillips said she wants the hunger from last year to remain but was quick to warn that this is a brand new year.
Facing No. 61 DePaul without junior Thomas Richter and with senior David Bubenicek nursing an injured wrist was not going to be an easy task for the IU men's tennis team. If the No. 63 Hoosiers did not come ready to play, they very well could have seen an 'L.'
The IU track and field teams have been hurdling past meets all year long and are finally able to see the finish line. They have only one more hurdle before the Big Ten championships, the Hoosier Hills Invite, this weekend. The invite will be hosted by IU Friday afternoon in the Gladstein Fieldhouse, and will serve as a tune-up meet for the Hoosiers' top athletes.
The IU wrestling team usually ends practice with scrimmages in which coach Duane Goldman simply tells the squad to wrestle. These scrimmages are sometimes sluggish after hours of practice and lifting. There was no such sluggishness this week.
The IU men's golf team will travel across international borders this weekend to Guadalajara, Mexico for its first match of 2007. The two-day Club de Golf Santa Anita Classic will begin at 8:15 a.m. on Sunday with 36 holes. Monday morning, golfers will tee off at 7:30 a.m. for 18 holes.
Lately, the question for the IU women's basketball team hasn't been a one of talent. It's been whether or not the shots will fall.
No sooner than the No. 24 IU men's basketball team lost to Purdue on the road Thursday were the Hoosiers faced with the prospect of yet another Big Ten road game. Less than 48 hours after their loss in West Lafayette, IU will travel to Ann Arbor, Mich., on Saturday to face Michigan. The game is the second of four remaining road games on IU's schedule. The Hoosiers play three of their next four on the road, including trips to Michigan State (Feb. 24) and Northwestern (Feb. 28).

WEST LAFAYETTE -- This is why David Teague went through all the grueling rehab. Teague, a senior guard who missed last season with a torn ACL, was at his best Thursday night, scoring a career-high 32 points as Purdue beat No. 24 IU 81-68.
The road isn't very kind to the IU men's basketball team. It hasn't been before -- the Hoosiers are 2-6 away from Assembly Hall this season -- and it certainly won't be Thursday. IU will travel through the ice and snow up to West Lafayette to battle in-state rival Purdue at 7 p.m. tonight. The Hoosiers' road ahead could provide their most crucial challenge. Tuesday afternoon, IU coach Kelvin Sampson stressed the importance of the team's remaining schedule this season, but also said the Hoosiers can't overlook the importance of their tilt with Purdue.
Almost two weeks removed from its last matches, the IU men's tennis team hosts a doubleheader today at the IU Tennis Center. The No. 63 Hoosiers are looking for their biggest win to date when they face No. 61 DePaul in the morning match before doing battle with Eastern Kentucky at 5 p.m.

I love Kelvin Sampson. You love Kelvin Sampson. I'll bet even Bruce Weber loves Kelvin Sampson (even though we'll never hear him say it in public). And why not? Sampson has IU winning again, has replaced a lackadaisical Mike Davis with intensity worthy of the Big Ten and is fighting for an IU student section. What's not to love? And so we've expressed our love in the only way we know how here at IU: T-shirts!
