Time to go 'all in' for IU

By Dan Patrick · Thursday, Feb. 12,2004 12:44 a.m.

Eleven players sit around a poker game desperately trying to read each other's faces, with the smell of cigar smoke and stale pretzels wafting through the air. While the 11-1 Purdue Boilermakers and Penn State Lady Lions have been drawing face cards all day long, the Hoosiers and the Northwestern Wildcats have been bluffing all season. IU comes into the game on the wrong end of a five-game streak, losing all but one game by double digit margins. Now IU sits at No. 9 in the Big Ten with a lowly 3-8 conference record and a 10-12 overall. Prior to the slide, the Hoosiers sat at a respectable 3-3 in the Big Ten and were 10-7 overall.

Sex, lies and cell phones

By Matt Glenesk · Thursday, Feb. 12,2004 12:42 a.m.

Ah, love is in the air. The flowers have been ordered, the teddy bears and chocolates have been purchased and the romantic dinner for two has been arranged. It must be Valentine's Day. Well, the flowers are dead, I lost the teddy bear, ate the chocolate and can't remember which restaurant I made the reservation at. It's a good thing I don't have a date. I know you're all shocked and perplexed. Right now, you're looking at my mug and saying, "Wow, if this guy doesn't have a date, how the heck am I gonna get one?"

Assists pass IU to victory

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Thursday, Feb. 12,2004 12:40 a.m.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- For one of the few times this season, the Hoosier offense was rather efficient, as IU won another Big Ten road game, 75-56, over Penn State Wednesday. The Hoosiers (12-9, 6-4 Big Ten) had 16 assists and turned it over a season-low six times. "We did a good job of passing the ball, and for us to have 16 assists, it may be our season high," IU coach Mike Davis said. "I think (sophomore guard) Marshall (Strickland) did a great job of running the offense for us."

Hoosiers pull out win

By Natalie A. Trout · Thursday, Feb. 12,2004 12:38 a.m.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- It took a road game over 500 miles away and a crowd of only 7,782 for the Hoosiers to rebuild their team and pull things together after a three-game losing streak. The 75-56 victory over Penn State Wednesday night (9-11, 3-6 Big Ten) gave IU (12-9, 6-4) its fourth Big Ten road win this season. "It's hard to explain when you have four road wins in the Big Ten and only two home wins," IU coach Mike Davis said. "We play better on the road. The guys are real loose on the road."

After three bouts with Melanoma, tennis star returns to the courts

By Jeff Fuldauer · Thursday, Feb. 12,2004 12:33 a.m.

For NCAA athletes, finding the time to fit anything in their schedules other than classes and practices can be the ultimate challenge. But for senior Karie Schlukebir, tennis has been her escape as she faces an opponent with much more than a serve-and-volley attack. The Kalamazoo, Mich., native first picked up a racquet when her mother, a tennis instructor, introduced her to the game. As a multisport athlete in high school, it was tennis that sent her to IU. But when she signed as a member of the Cream and Crimson, she had no idea tennis would act as her support group through her most difficult of times.

Hoosiers travel to Penn State looking for a win

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Wednesday, Feb. 11,2004 12:56 a.m.

Following Saturday's double-overtime loss to Iowa, senior A.J. Moye had a talk with his teammates. He said he spoke with emotion and from the heart to let his teammates know how he felt with this being his last year. IU (11-9, 5-4 Big Ten) will take the floor at 6 p.m. tonight at Penn State to see if that message has finally sunk in. "Everybody knows what it takes now, there's no doubt in my mind," Moye said. "We're going to give everything we've got to win. We saw what happens when we take stuff for granted out there on that floor." Emotions got the best of several players last week after the Hoosiers dropped three straight games, two of those at home. Moye and sophomore forward Sean Kline both talked about the lack of team effort, without naming names.

Tough practices act as inspiration

By Colin Burns · Wednesday, Feb. 11,2004 12:25 a.m.

Downstairs in Assembly Hall where the IU wrestling team practices, quotes fill the red and white walls. Meant for inspiration and motivation, one of them reads, "Unless You Have Prepared Yourself and Deserve to Emerge Victorious, Do Not Expect to Win or Be Disappointed When You Lose." Another quote on the wall spells out, "Work Develops Champions." They are especially relevant to this team, which battles through physically grinding practices and voluntary workouts to maintain their weight and endurance.

Taking the plunge: Divers donate proceeds to charity

By Andrew Smith and Drew Smith · Tuesday, Feb. 10,2004 5:30 p.m.

Recent weather updates predict Bloomington residents to feel chilling 10 degree weather, soon. The entire month of January was cold, so with the groundhog predicting an extended winter period, IU students can expect nothing less then a frigid February.

In the spirit of goodwill

By Dan Patrick · Tuesday, Feb. 10,2004 5:25 p.m.

It's warm, there's beach music playing, people are playing volleyball and a surfboard strives to buck its rider into the waves. Yet, there is a significant lack of drunken college students foolishly showing off their unmentionables.

Jefferson hits 4-minute mile at Indiana Invitational

By Rob DeWitte and Rob eWitte · Tuesday, Feb. 10,2004 5:18 p.m.

Perhaps track and field's most hallowed barrier -- the four-minute mile -- is something every runner dreams of eclipsing. Each year, IU distance coach Robert Chapman sets up an elite heat of the mile, with runners included specifically to set a hot pace and a gathering of IU and neighboring distance talent. The race is consistently one of the top events of the meet.

Hoosiers unhappy with second half

By Dan Patrick · Tuesday, Feb. 10,2004 5:16 p.m.

Eight seconds were left on the clock, and Illinois had whittled IU's lead down to one. Sophomore Cyndi Valentin played damage control and drilled a jumper to put the score at 28-25 to give IU some breathing room, but Illinois junior Tiffanie Guthrie had a different idea as she heaved a 35-foot shot and drilled it to knot the game at 28.

IU wins 3, loses 1 in San Diego

By IDS staff and Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Feb. 10,2004 1:12 a.m.

The Hoosiers traveled to San Diego beginning with play on Saturday against No. 15 UC-Irvine, in a match that featured another come-from behind victory by IU coach Barry King's squad. UCI jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first half but IU matched them at three a piece right before the break. In the second half, the match seesawed back and forth until the final minute of play when freshman Kristin Zernicke netted the game winning goal off an assist from fellow freshman Janis Pardy. Saturday afternoon the Hoosiers battled No. 4 Long Beach State. IU stayed in the match throughout most of the first half and third period, and was down only two goals with one period left to play. Unfortunately, LBSU came out with more intensity in the last period of play, scoring three times while holding IU scoreless for a final of 9-4.

Home football attendance ranks low

By Mark Carlson · Tuesday, Feb. 10,2004 1:07 a.m.

Basketball to Indiana is what apple pie is to the United States. Nothing better symbolizes our state than the orange leather ball. But is Indiana so obsessed with basketball to forget about this country's most popular sport?

By Steve Slivka · Tuesday, Feb. 10,2004 12:17 a.m.

Setting school records in the first two seasons of competition for an athlete opens the door to endless possibilities in the final two seasons. For junior pole-vaulter Emily Tharpe, this is exactly what she wants to continue.
