Hockey team looks for National Championship

By Michael Sherman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Hoosier center Brandon Phillips doesn't scare anyone with his size. At 5-foot-8, 155 pounds, the senior isn't the most imposing player on the ice, and more than a few opponents have watched him during the pre-game skate and anticipated the chance to squash him against the boards. But any opponent who has ever felt the impact of Phillips’ check knows better.

Weekend marred by Big Ten sweeps

By Colin Nowling · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The IU softball team dropped four games in conference action this past weekend as it played host to No. 13 Michigan and Michigan State. Michigan (27-7, 5-1 Big Ten) swept IU (9-19-1, 0-8) in two games Friday and Saturday. Michigan State (18-21, 3-3) also swept the Hoosiers in their doubleheader Sunday.

The East Lansing Curse

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Wisconsin snapped the Breslin Center curse. Illinois walked all over it. IU is yet to figure it out. The Badgers ended Michigan State's nation-long, 53-game home winning streak in the final seconds Jan. 12. The Spartans won three in a row in East Lansing before the Fighting Illini squeaked out a two-point win Feb. 12. Now, No. 23 IU has the chance to hand Michigan State its third home loss of the season at 1 p.m. Sunday in the often-rugged, never-nice Breslin Center. One problem -- for IU, the curse is still in place. The Hoosiers (18-8, 10-3 Big Ten) haven't won in the Breslin Center since Feb. 28, 1991, a span of eight losses. IU is 2-9 all-time in the Breslin Center since the arena opened in 1989.

Pitching staff struggles during weekend as Hoosiers win 1, lose 2 against Nittany Lions

By Sarah Trotto · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Penn State ripped apart the Hoosiers' fragile pitching staff in two days at Sembower Field. The final tally of the wreckage during the three-game Big Ten series included 24 allowed runs, eight pitchers and a starter lost to an elbow injury. Two losses sandwiched a 6-3 IU win with bright performances from pitchers senior Nick Otte and freshman Adam Pegg, but the overall weekend magnified the Hoosiers' continuing pitching woes. Starter Brad Edwards was tagged for six earned runs in Friday's 14-4 loss.

Team reloads with talent over summer

By Ryan Pretzer and Ryan W. Pretzer · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Both of your captains have graduated. So have five of your point leaders. And it's your first year on the job. This is the predicament of Adam Schuchman, first-year general manager of the IU ice hockey team. The Hoosiers reached the 2002 National semifinals in March, but will be a much different team when Schuchman holds tryouts in September.

Four wrestlers move on to Nationals

By Alyson Brodsy and Tyler Hoeppner · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

This weekend is what the Hoosier wrestling team has been working toward all season. Four wrestlers will travel to Albany, NY to participate in the NCAA Championships this Thursday. For one person, it's his last shot at the national title he covets. For another, it's his first championship. For the other two, it's their chance for redemption and to improve on last year's results.

Exorcised

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Chances are, you didn't think this could happen. IU beat defending national champion and top-ranked Duke? No way. You were correct until less than a minute remained in Thursday night's South Regional semifinal in Rupp Arena. But, all those brackets with Duke marching straight to the Final Four took a big hit, thanks to an inspirational comeback that took the Hoosiers the entire second half to complete. It was the comeback that wouldn't quit. On a team that wouldn't fold, either.

After slow start, Purdue hits stride

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

This season has been rough for Gene Keady and his Purdue Boilermakers. Trying to fight through the Big Ten without much defense, Keady has been left feeling a little under the weather. "These games lately, my chest has been hurting," Keady said. "January and February can get long. Thank goodness the weather's been nice." Sun began to shine for the Boilermakers (11-11, 3-5 Big Ten) last week when they had two victories, beating Northwestern and Iowa. The wins took Purdue back toward the middle of the Big Ten standings after opening the conference season with five losses in six games.

Reddick and Wilson top conference

By Pat Crowell · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

IU has one of the best triple jumpers in the Big Ten in Hassan Reddick. The junior finished second in both the indoor and outdoor Big Ten Championships and earned a provisional to the NCAA championship last season. This season, Reddick has improved but faces stiffer competition. Fellow teammate freshman Aarik Wilson could possibly be the toughest he finds. "This year the Big Ten is probably the best it has ever been in the triple jump, but these two should vie for the Big Ten championship," coach Marshall Goss said.

Three-headed monster solves MSU's Taylor

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

INDIANAPOLIS - Senior Dane Fife submitted his request to guard Michigan State's Marcus Taylor early this week. Friday in the quarterfinal round of the Big Ten Tournament in Conseco Fieldhouse, he got his wish. Then split the duties three ways. Fife, with help from junior Tom Coverdale and freshman Donald Perry, hounded Taylor, the Big Ten's leading scorer and top assist man, all afternoon as No. 21 and fourth-seeded IU (20-10) won 67-56 over the fifth-seeded Spartans (19-11). Taylor scored a game-high 20 points but was just 8 of 18 from the field and committed six turnovers with only two assists.

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The 52nd running of the men's Little 500 came and went in the tradition of past years without emphasis on the controversy that led up to the race. Saturday The Corleones won the race with speed, humor, and an almost two-lap lead over the majority of the competition.

Buckeyes riding high before Saturday showdown at home

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Ohio State Head coach Jim O'Brien wouldn't say that he is surprised to be tied with IU at the top of the Big Ten standings. But going into tomorrow's showdown with the Hoosiers at Value City Arena in Columbus with the conference lead on the line, O'Brien said he is happy with what his team has done so far.

Spurrier introduces his style to 'Skins

By Alyson Brodsy and Joseph White · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

ASHBURN, Va. -- Steve Spurrier took the field in chilling fog and drizzle Tuesday for his first practice as an NFL coach. The Fun 'N' Gun is definitely not in Florida any more. "Sort of like playing golf in Ireland," said Spurrier, who exchanged his trademark visor for a black baseball cap because of the weather.

Cyclists ready for women's Little 500

By Ryan Gunterman · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

After competing in the biathlon, street sprints, qualifications, Individual Time Trials, Miss-N-Out and Team Pursuit, it's time for the women's teams to take to the track for the event that matters -- the women's Little 500. The women's teams jumped onto their bikes for the first time competitively in the fall with the biathlon. Next was the street sprints. The series took a mid-semester break until January. Since then, bikes have been making continuous circles around Bill Armstrong Stadium's track in practice and series events.

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Sean May has a knack for dodging questions about where he will play college basketball next season, but early Saturday morning at IU's Midnight Madness, the Bloomington High School North star couldn't escape.

Hoosiers get hot in Florida weather, finish 3rd

By Gavin Lesnick · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The women's golf team's play in its first two tournaments was a lot like the Bloomington weather. Both were inconsistent. Some days it seemed like spring, and sometimes the team practiced indoors for days in a row. Likewise in their tournaments, sometimes the team shot season-low rounds and sometimes it struggled.

IU joins five ranked teams in championships

By Gavin Lesnick · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

In their last dual meet of the year, the unranked Hoosiers took the 21st ranked Purdue Boilermakers by surprise, winning in convincing fashion. Now, the Hoosiers hope it's time to take the rest of the conference by surprise when the Big Ten championship meet begins today at the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center and continues through Saturday. "We need to make this the best meet of the year to date," Coach Kris Kirchner said. "We need to be swimming faster than we ever have before."
