IU shifts focus to Saturday's game

By Jake Brown and Jacob Brown · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 12:15 a.m.

It was almost like Saturday's game at Memorial Stadium didn't even matter. Shortly after the loss to No. 2 Michigan, IU senior center Justin Frye was already counting down to the season finale against in-state rival Purdue.

Defense looks top-notch

By Alyson Brodsy and Ryan Corazza · Monday, Nov. 13,2006 12:12 a.m.

Both IU men's basketball exhibition games are in the books. Both were blowouts. Both featured a work-in-progress D.J. White and a surprisingly solid Armon Bassett, the backup/counterpart to Earl Calloway. Both displayed the sharp-shooting of junior college transfer Lance Stemler. But what stood out above all else at this early-season juncture was the stifling, hard-nosed defense. Just ask University of Indianapolis coach Todd Sturgeon.

Freshman quarterback Kellen Lewis didn't have much time to do anything in Saturday's game against Michigan. The No. 2 team in the country, with the No. 3 overall defense, never allowed Lewis and the Hoosiers to get into a rhythm in the air or on the ground as IU fell 34-3 to the Wolverines.

The center of his world

By Jake Brown and Jacob Brown · Friday, Nov. 10,2006 12:13 a.m.

Around Justin Frye's neck on any given day -- except that three-hour stretch Saturdays when he plays as IU's starting center -- hangs a necklace with a ring commemorating IU's victory in the 1979 Holiday Bowl, in which the Hoosiers beat Brigham Young University 38-37.

By Tim O Brien and Tim O'Brien · Thursday, Nov. 9,2006 11:36 p.m.

IU coach Terry Hoeppner fined junior cornerback Tracy Porter at Tuesday's practice. No, it wasn't for speeding down 10th Street or littering in the arboretum. Hoeppner fined the junior because he committed the cardinal sin of a cornerback: He got beat by his man. "I'm not making excuses, but I broke on a ball and didn't make the play so (the receiver) caught the ball," Porter explained afterward. "Just a little fine that we have."

By Alyson Brodsy and Michael Marot · Thursday, Nov. 9,2006 10:58 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts are aware of the trap. At 8-0, on the verge of making NFL history and a heavy favorite at home against Buffalo, the NFL's last unbeaten team didn't need a reminder about keeping focus this week. The Chicago Bears taught the Colts that lesson last week.

At the start of this season, IU women's cross country coach Judy Wilson asked for a little luck for her Hoosiers.

Gordon signs IU letter of intent

By Matt Mattucci · Thursday, Nov. 9,2006 12:28 a.m.

For months, IU coach Kelvin Sampson has dealt with questions regarding recruit Eric Gordon. For months, Sampson has given the same response: "I can't comment about that." With Gordon signing a national letter of intent with IU Wednesday morning, Sampson is finally able to talk about his prized recruit. "Gordon is a dynamic player. Offensively there's so many different ways he can score the basketball," the first-year Hoosier coach said at a press conference Wednesday evening. "This kid scores really high on the 'wow' scale. He's good. He's an impact guard."

Not just Gordon; Sampson shores up three more for 2007 b-ball class

By Eamonn Brennan · Wednesday, Nov. 8,2006 11:22 p.m.

Eric Gordon wasn't the only prized signing Kelvin Sampson had the pleasure of officially revealing Wednesday. The first-year Hoosier coach added Eli Holman, a 6-foot-9 center from Richmond, Calif., Brandon McGee, a 6-foot-7 forward from Chicago's Crane High School and 6-foot-5 shooting guard Jamarcus Ellis from Chipola College in Chipola, Fla. to his first IU recruiting class. Sampson was able to make the signings despite recruiting restrictions the NCAA imposed on him in May. The restrictions prevented the coach from calling recruits or making visits off campus, thanks to a ruling that Sampson deliberately broke NCAA rules regulating recruiting phone calls during his tenure at Oklahoma.
