The losses came as a mixture of encouragement and disappointment for the team.

The IU women's water polo team never backs down from a challenge. The team competed valiantly in its season opener against No. 1 UCLA, falling just short of victory.

The Hoosiers will bring that same toughness to Palo Alto, Calif., this weekend for the Stanford Invitational.

By Alyson Brodsy and Ronald Blum · Friday, Feb. 11,2005 12:55 a.m.

NEW YORK - Jason Giambi twiddled his thumbs, crossed his legs and fidgeted in his chair. He said he was sorry five times. He apologized three times. To the New York Yankees. To his teammates. To the fans. But he never said why. And he never talked about using steroids, never mentioned the word.

The man behind the melee

By Adam Aasen · Thursday, Feb. 10,2005 1:12 a.m.

Growing up in Queensbridge, N.Y., Indiana Pacer Ron Artest had a bully. As funny as it seems, the NBA All-Star, famous for his brawl in Detroit, would get picked on every day. And even more ironic is the fact that Ron wouldn't fight back. "Ron was always really different," said Sarah Artest, Ron's mother, who now lives in Carmel, Ind. "He was always very laid-back. He might have gotten into a fight, but it took a lot to make him fight."

Selig responds to renewed steroid talk

By Alyson Brodsy and Josh Dubow · Wednesday, Feb. 9,2005 11:57 p.m.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Commissioner Bud Selig is confident that baseball's new steroid policy will be in place when spring training opens next week and dismissed criticism that it does not go far enough to rid the game of performance-enhancing drugs. "As a sport we have done everything that we could at this point," Selig said Wednesday. "There are immediate penalties, random testing, a player gets publicly named if heaven forbid he does test positively. I'm very sensitive about this whole subject but I think the sport has addressed it.
