Leach's return equals defensive improvement; Wilmont provides offensive spark off the bench

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Hoeppner · Monday, Jan. 12,2004 12:52 a.m.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The Hoosiers have senior George Leach back. The senior center made his return to the basketball court after injuring his knee in the Nov. 29 game against Xavier.

Bloomington fans cheer, celebrate Colts' win

By Alex Hickey · Monday, Jan. 12,2004 12:52 a.m.

Not since 1996 have Indianapolis Colts fans had this much to cheer about in January. A crowd of boisterous Colts fans looked for the team's biggest win since it was led by "Captain Comeback" Jim Harbaugh to the 1996 AFC Championship game. Colts fans made a lively appearance at Yogi's Bar & Grill Sunday and cheered the Colts to a 38-31 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Junior Kyle Hollon, a fan since he "could watch TV," was one of those on hand to witness the event and revel in the long road the Colts have traveled since the days of players like Jeff George and Don Majikowski.

Manning Up

By Alyson Brodsy and Barry Wilner · Monday, Jan. 12,2004 12:52 a.m.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Peyton Manning is headed to his first championship game with visions of wide-open receivers and undefended real estate in his head. Making Kansas City's defense look like a sieve, Manning led the Indianapolis Colts past the Chiefs 38-31 Sunday for a spot in the AFC title game next weekend. The NFL co-MVP knows he can expect a much bigger challenge from the New England Patriots than the Chiefs presented.

IU rebounds to road win

By Natalie A. Trout · Monday, Jan. 12,2004 12:50 a.m.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.-- IU sophomore guard Marshall Strickland said it's anybody's ballgame when you're talking about Big Ten basketball. While history shows that it's difficult to play on the road in the Big Ten, Sunday's game in Ann Arbor was clearly one for the Hoosiers. After a 34-point loss on the road to Wisconsin, IU bounced back from the loss and defeated the Michigan Wolverines, 59-57. IU made 42.9 percent of its field goals and made five of its six free throw attemps. "Anytime you get a road win in the Big Ten, it's like getting two wins," IU coach Mike Davis said.

Hoosiers drop 3 of 5 over break

By Tyler Hoeppner and Tyler V. Heoppner · Monday, Jan. 12,2004 12:09 a.m.

IU coach Mike Davis has said all along that he wanted his team to be 7-4 as the Hoosiers headed into conference play. The Hoosiers entered the semester break at 4-3, and with three of four at home, seemed on their way to that goal. But IU couldn't get it done, and Tuesday's loss to Wisconsin in their Big Ten opener dropped the Hoosiers to 6-6 on the season.

By Alyson Brodsy and Joseph White · Friday, Jan. 9,2004 1:47 a.m.

ASHBURN, Va. -- After a decade of high-profile Washington Redskins failures, only one name could restore credibility in an instant: Joe Gibbs. And they got him. The Hall of Fame coach is coming back after an 11-year absence, a stunning development and a much-needed lift for a franchise that has been to the playoffs only once since he left after the 1992 season.

Hoosiers look to avoid early hole in Big Ten play

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, Jan. 9,2004 1:39 a.m.

During the last two years, the Hoosiers have struggled on opponents' home courts, going 5-12 during that stretch. They have only one Big Ten win, coming against Iowa Feb. 19 of last year. The Hoosiers will have to reverse that trend against Michigan Sunday if they hope to avoid doing something they haven't done since the 1997-98 season: start the Big Ten 0-2.

Believe in Blue

By Alyson Brodsy and Michael Marot · Friday, Jan. 9,2004 1:23 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts expect cold and noise for their next game at Kansas City. They're confident they'll overcome both -- as well as the Chiefs. "Hopefully once we get in the stadium, we'll warm up and be fine," linebacker Marcus Washington said Wednesday. "We've been great on the road all year, so I think we'll be okay." Kansas City (13-3) has won 13 straight at Arrowhead Stadium, and teams that play home games in domes are just 11-32 when they venture into the frigid outdoors, come playoff time. Nevertheless, the Colts (13-4) have beaten the Chiefs in six straight games, four of those in Kansas City, and lead their overall series 8-6. Only one team with a dome, St. Louis in 1999, has won a Super Bowl.
