Hoosiers prepare for 'great challenge' against Buckeyes

By Steve Brennan · Thursday, Jan. 19,2006 1:10 a.m.

For many Big Ten teams, winning conference games on the road is difficult. And winning more away games than home games is almost unheard of. Except for the IU women's basketball team. The Hoosiers (9-7, 3-2 Big Ten) have earned all three of their conference victories on the road. However, their two losses have both occurred in Assembly Hall.

By Josh Sacks · Wednesday, Jan. 18,2006 12:37 a.m.

After missing last season to take a sabbatical, IU hockey coach Rich Holdeman is coaching in his 13th and final season behind the bench for the Hoosiers.

II club teams in the nation.

IU readying for strong defense of No. 7 Illini

By Brian Janosch · Tuesday, Jan. 17,2006 1:50 a.m.

The two teams atop the Big Ten's scoring margin category will meet at 7 p.m. tonight in Assembly Hall. No. 13 IU ranks second in the Big Ten averaging 15 points more than their opponents, while No. 7 Illinois sports a conference best 17-point spread. Both teams are 2-1 in conference play with their lone losses coming on the road, but beyond that, the similarities cease. IU maintains its lopsided margin on the offense. The team shoots a Big Ten-best 53 percent from the field and a nationwide-best 47 percent from three. They average 80 points a game and have only been held below 70 points twice, both of which were losses.

Colts' wild ride ends wide right

By Cordell Eddings and Cordell M. Eddings · Tuesday, Jan. 17,2006 1:49 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- At 5 p.m., the jersey came off. The emotional tornado that had been the Colts' season dwindled down to deafening silence in the locker room. The eye of the storm culminated in one corner of the room. While disappointed Colts' players dressed to go home, kicker Mike Vanderjagt sat facing his locker, uniform still on, head buried in his hands, tears in his eyes, surrounded by the first wave of prodding cold microphones and tape recorders.

IU diving team tops Bruins at home, sweeps top 3 spots

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Jan. 17,2006 1:34 a.m.

A record-breaking performance from junior Lindsay Weigle helped the IU women's diving team defeat UCLA 39-18 at the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center Saturday. In the three-meter competition Friday, Weigle amazed the crowd with a school-record string of dives. The Bloomington native nailed all six dives on her list to post a 357.75. That effort surpassed the previous standard of 354.00 set by teammate Christina Loukas on Jan. 29, 2005.

Hoosiers claim Virginia Duals championship

By John Wustrow · Tuesday, Jan. 17,2006 1:33 a.m.

With a Big Ten conference that features nine top-25 teams and five in the top 10, the IU wrestling team knew it had to make the most of its non-conference schedule in preparation for the Big Ten season. Consider the mission accomplished. The No. 15 Hoosiers went 4-0 in this weekend's Virginia Duals, winning the championship and taking a 9-0 dual record into the conference season. IU coach Duane Goldman said while this weekend's duals won't do anything to help the team's Big Ten record, he still feels that it will give team members confidence heading into the tough road ahead.

With Monroe playing fill-in, Calloway draws Dee Brown

By Andy Romey · Tuesday, Jan. 17,2006 1:31 a.m.

When junior guard Earl Calloway made the journey from a junior college in Atlanta to Bloomington, he had a lot of change to deal with -- a change in temperature and a big change in the level of play. But he was still fast. Tonight, the Georgia native will get to show just how quick he is when he squares off against Illini guard Dee Brown, whose speed is well-documented. "The thing about Dee is that he is quick, but he is a change-of-speed type of player, going from slow to fast," said senior guard Marshall Strickland, who has seen a great deal of Brown in his four-year career. "Earl is fast all the time."

Midwest meltdown: Panthers dominate top defense

By Alyson Brodsy and Rick Gano · Tuesday, Jan. 17,2006 1:30 a.m.

CHICAGO -- On Carolina's second snap of the game, Steve Smith gave the Chicago Bears a preview of the long night ahead at Soldier Field. The Panthers receiver maneuvered around Charles Tillman as the defensive back stumbled on the sideline, gathered in a pass after a nice double pump by Jake Delhomme and then used a nifty move to sidestep Mike Brown. Just 55 seconds into the game, Smith was in the end zone. Chicago's defense, which carried the Bears to a division title and playoff berth for the first time in four years, was left grabbing all day -- especially at Smith. And now the Panthers are headed to Seattle for the NFC Championship game after beating Chicago 29-21 Sunday.

Colts' near-perfect season ends in disappointment

By Cordell Eddings and Cordell M. Eddings · Tuesday, Jan. 17,2006 1:30 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Pittsburgh wide receiver Hines Ward was in disbelief after the Steelers 21-18 defeat of the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. "I thought the game was over several times. I thought we won, then I though we lost ... didn't you?" asked the wide-eyed Ward after the Steelers dominated the Colts, only to give them several opportunities to get back into the game in the final quarter. "We didn't try to do it like this - trust me." Ward couldn't have been the only one shocked by the Colts' loss or the method by which the Steelers handed them that loss, a rare occurrence in a season that saw Indianapolis race to a 13-0 record and a shot at an undefeated regular season.

By Tim O Brien and Tim O'Brien · Friday, Jan. 13,2006 12:14 a.m.

Senior guard Cyndi Valentin wasted no time putting the NCAA record for consecutive free throws made behind her. With 7:03 remaining in the second half of IU's 69-56 victory over Northwestern Thursday night, Valentin stepped to the charity stripe and promptly made the first of two shots, her 61st consecutive free throw.

By Alyson Brodsy and Hank Lowenkron · Friday, Jan. 13,2006 12:10 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Pacers are getting accustomed to all the trade rumors involving Ron Artest. The stories have come so fast, and without substantiation, the Pacers are just ignoring them.
