With a full week to prepare for Iowa, the Hoosiers have been working hard to overcome their recent struggles in conference play.

By Colin Burns · Friday, April 16,2004 1:32 a.m.

One final test before race

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Thursday, April 15,2004 1:04 p.m.

For weeks, months and in some cases, years, Little 500 riders have been working as one to form the perfect team. They train together, ride together and some even live together. As the teams take the track next weekend, the unity and strength they've been building will be tested, but before the race, there is one final test of rider ability: Team Pursuit. The final of the Little 500 spring series events -- Team Pursuit -- will begin tonight at Bill Armstrong Stadium. The event is the most team-oriented of the series events, and tests pack riding and a team's overall ability.

SAN FRANCISCO -- So, what's next for Barry Bonds? He doesn't even want to think about it. Not yet, anyway.

Loring becomes first coach in NCAA to win 600 games

By Jeff Fuldauer · Wednesday, April 14,2004 1:38 a.m.

If Tony Kornheiser, host of ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption," were to make a list of the top college tennis programs in the country, IU would certainly be listed among those on top of his "food chain." But if he were to list the coaches with 600 or more wins, Lin Loring would be it. 'That's it. That's the list,' Kornheiser would say. And yet even at his own University, a place where he has worked for more than 20 years, he goes relatively unknown outside the tennis world.

Bonds away!

By Matt Glenesk · Wednesday, April 14,2004 12:31 a.m.

Six hundred sixty one and counting. Like Barry Bonds or not, 661 home runs is still quite a remarkable feat, making him third all-time on the homerun list. I can't think of anything I've done worth remembering 661 times -- well, maybe there are two things (get imaginative, I ain't getting fired for the sake of a joke).

A Phil-y tale ending

By Dan Cohen and Daniel Cohen · Tuesday, April 13,2004 12:28 a.m.

I can't shoot under 100. I can't drive the ball straight. I can't putt on level greens. I can't differentiate my irons -- heck, I can't even be a member at some golf clubs. I don't wear golf shoes. I don't own my own clubs. I don't even know how to comprehend a handicap, let alone read a green -- heck, I couldn't find the next tee with a map and a compass.
